That’s prolly worth a quid or two… I’m just thinking about making one for mine

Pretend freelanders at sollyhull

A good strong lamp and like kda says, start looking into the V or use a long cable or similar and poke about and look for residue, maybe pink or green crystals👍

Put yer t shirt on.

Newspaper test - roll up a newspaper and slowly insert into the viscous fan. When cold it should stop the fan turning but as engine warms it should get more resistance and try to shred the newspaper. (Free when cold - locked when hot) Careful to...

I had this problem after changing the pump and somehow the fuel pressure regulator was stuck open.

It should roar like a tank on start up then go quiet then roar again when it gets hot. just because its turning does not mean its working right.

It does not roar

There are bit and pieces on the University of Google, and the same on the collage of you tube! But. I think it will be slow and steady for you whilst you take her apart! The above will give you an idea! But as we all know! All are a bit...

So a Tdi is likely to return 24-28mpg real world. They can do better, but you'd really need to try. A V8 is going to use more fuel, more like 15-18mpg and up to maybe 20mpg on a run. Don't know how many weekend miles you'll do, but making a few...

Have a look down the side of the oil filter housing see if there's water in the V, I bought one those vacuum filling kits off eBay for another job and there's a pump in to pressurise the system that's how I found my leak turned out to be the stat...

Hi All, Hopefully someone can help 🙏🏼 I bought a 2017 Disco 5 and only half the LED’s on the drivers side rear taillight are working. Spoke to dealer who supplier a second hand light, plugged in and indicator did not work at all but reverse...

Send it to me, my coal is getting low. Our fire is on its lashing outside, tis like January. :oops:

When I had the fan off, it was stiff when I rotated it…

Activating a new account after old password was in a data hack. Trying to get my 110 refurbished (why do people not answer e-mails?) and also have a D4.

Done the same with a transit 50mm socket iirc, someone borrowed it & I had to ask for it back even though I'll probably never need it. :p Tis how its spelt snot how you say it & it doesnt rhyme with your wrenches.

How does it sound, does it roar or is it quiet on cold start up?

If no traces no leaks ? 🤔

Fan sounds great, bloody engine sounds great to after water pump and all service items😩

handles a bit better now.

I realize this is an old thread and thought I'd link to a Britpart video on replacing the upper control arm. Very comprehensive and very quick Their mechanic knows his stuff.

How does the fan sound on cold start up?

That's definitely not something I'd like to even try 😜😂

Are there traces of antifreeze around the coolant tank?

Thanks for replying discool, that's probably the one as the pulley is a bolt. Thankyou so very much. It's just the squeaky sound is possible from there and I have grey grease coming out. Thankyou for helping.

Thank you for confirming that. And good luck with your oil pump bolt. Don’t envy you, at least mine is all accessible from the top!

You can buy a capillary gauge for about £60, you will need to check the thread is correct.

Tis obvious you's from north of Hadrian's wall. Peeps who live there call it Torbay. When i was in Exeter doing my teacher training we quickly learned not to call it what you just did!!! I think this will come under the heading of a tool I...

Just discovered that W and I will now be getting the winter fule allowance, again. Though we don;t need it. Might donate it to Age Concern or summit. Flipping pendulam has swung too far the opposite way.

If you take the pipe off the inlet to the filter and crank it do you get a good squirt of fuel? With the Britpart lift pump I use ptfe tape on the threads of the pipes and do them up pretty tight, I have found quality a little erratic over the...
