Found a RAD for £118. Is there any connections at the bottom on a diesel?

The connections are for manual gearbox oil cooler pipes. Not used on the auto.

Datatek will hate me as well. I didn't remove the viscous fan...

Rev counter Still sitting at 850rpm though. I'm guessing I'll need to move the actuator block a smidge towards the dash? Is that correct?

Possibly someone has adjusted the idle using a Nanocom?

850 rpm doesn't sound too bad.

Probably closer to 890RPM in reality.

I would say it probably ticks over a bit smoother at that speed

Pump comes off easily enough but that's jumping the gun IMO. You need to prove the pump is the source of the noise first, a mechanics stethoscope would help. If it is the pump that's noisy, try an oil change first.

From what I could hear from the front grille it was from the middle of the engine. I've ordered a pulley & tensioner wheel along with a radiator. What was the torque value for the bolts, 25NM?
