I hadn't heard of the Madman System but there's some cool stuff on their website. They're looking for guinea pigs for this too: https://madmandevelopments.com/?page_id=1190
No idea of the price though and presumably they'd be some sort of inport duties for the UK.
Edit: just been to their online shop page. A full disco kit looks pretty comprehensive and comes in at about R8,500 so that'd be about £350. If you've just rebuilt your v8 then that's a small price for some piece of mind.
I'm reminded of the Jag engine on the later Range Rovers which tends to blow all the coolant out and cook it when that hose at the back of the engine lets go.

How often should you change the fool filter on 4.4 tdv8? Presume you need a decent one not britpart?

My Transit has a test button on the fuel filter, it has been passing the test without a filter change for nearly 15 years now.

What does the test button do?
This one doesn't have a water drain so it's only ever going to fill up.

The button is depressed, it draws fuel through the filter as it returns under spring pressure, if it hits the green marker in the right time period, the filter is OK. No water drain on the filter either.

If there is a lot what looks like dirt in it then yep or if it's never been done before
most cars is see have never had it done
The brake fluid is the next thing that's rarely changed

Guessing it's never been done. Smells manky.If there is a lot what looks like dirt in it then yep or if it's never been done before

With that colour can i assume it's the correct stuff and drain/fill the reservoir a couple of times, save draining/flushing?

All my cars with power steering have used ATF Dexron.

That's what I'm used to as well. This is supposed to be the same as goes in the ACE system on the discovery

I wonder if it's a funny colour because someone topped up with regular ATF...

Easy mistake to make as ATF is the norm.
