I think she was shi77ing herself to be honest!

Hi Rob, I did pick up a slight anxiety and that crossroads !!!!!


You do realise you're going to have to do a shît load of cleaning of your beautiful Disco now, don't you? I hope you didn't get out and get mud on your boots !!!!!!!


Cheers, Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year

Yeah. All of it, like a good book.

Kept thinking, just one more page, then I will be up to date.

Now I'm up to date and waiting for the next chapter!

Did a current draw test on the main battery.

I got 0.003 on the 2m setting. Is that good?

SWMBO's Christmas present to me - who's a clever girl then?

I'm going to change to top hose for some stainless braided hose like the stuff below. Where does the bottom hose go to - seems to disappear behind the block somewhere.

The bottom hose goes round the back of the block and plumbs into the air intake between the turbo and the air box.
I'm removing mine from the air box and venting it to atmosphere, as you're just forcing hot air into the air intake which isn't really ideal.

You've got me thinking about this now.
I'm thinking an oil breather catch tank might be a nice little mod for us.

This one is just an example:

That was locked. Is that still a good reading?

When I blipped it the readout changed - impossible to say as it dropped back when the solenoid stopped moving. When to door opened, it changed to 0.022 with LED interior lamps.

The bottom hose goes back into the engine block for the oil to be re used and the the pip coming out of the side usually goes around the back of the engine and into the air intake, somewhere just before the turbo, though for some reason yours seems to go around the front. I have toyed with the idea of venting this off in the exhaust or some place else as it makes a real mess of your turbo, pipes and intercooler as well as make your mix all oily however after seeing your xmas present has got me thinking of alternatives. Funny, I hadn't even considered looking into a different type of filter.

Excellent work on the disco btw, looks fantastic.

Mine has the 2.8 TGV engine fitted. Can't remember where it went on the old 300Tdi but this goes round the front to the turbo.

Cheers. Lots of time gone into it.

Still needs a cable tie on the black. I'll give you an insight into the new aux fuse box (top right) sometime soon.

Where did u get thos terminal covers pal?

 

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

Here you go.....

STUD TYPE BATTERY TERMINAL COVERS Pos/Neg BTC50R/B | eBay


BATTERY TERMINAL COVERS AC4 RED & BLACK (PACK of 2) | eBay

The main ones fitted fine but I had to split the underside of the smaller ones as the cable was just so fat. Hence the cable tie.

Great seller who combines postage.

 

[discomark10]

why have you got a fuse connected between the earth.. and earth? lol
