The small pipe is fuel leak off pipe to the pump. I sent you a pm but basically you need to check for fuel going to lift pump, going to filter, going to injection pump. It needs continuous 12v at stop solenoid to let fuel through. When you are...

That's better, they do actually run quite hot. When I was looking into it a while back and I came across someone else's forum post with a similar issue. He booked it in at a specialist who suggested mid 90s is correct for a 200tdi. Pretty sure my...

Out of interest what temps are you getting on the top hose?

Broken wire. Hence lights didn’t clear on new bearing he then swapped the wire so air gap to large. Have Re wired and replaced bearing and sesnor now sorted.

Yes, there is a wire going to the back of the injection pump, looks like it's a white one in your picture. If you haven't got 12v to there it won't let fuel through, crank but not start.

Surely the axle needs rotating?

Check the wire on the fuel cut off solenoid on the injection pump.

That's good. Would you like to share the fix?

Seems Britpart offer the short one so no I don't use a short one.

Better to have grease than rust, presumably you have taken a cover off that?

When I say "hope not" I don't really know the difference between long and short. I order Mahle using the part number, maybe it isn't a short one?

Hope not.

I use Mahle or Coopers, never would I use Britpart filter

Are you sure you don't have a Disco 200tdi? Take a photo showing position of turbo.

Yeah he said there was a bit of play in it and he said that could be the bearing, but they don't do the bearings there so he's just going to do the seal and see if it stops. The guy we got the truck gave us a couple of seals which say corteco on them

You obviously need a longer scaffolding pole :)

That's going some to break a spanner! I have cut bits off spanners but never broken one.

It would if you had an expensive driveway

With regards to Halfords socket sets, quite often they are in a sale so keep an eye out. Bought one for my son a couple of weeks ago at half price.

So they confirmed it's the transfer box output seal which is leaking? Corteco seals are good choice, Britpart specials are not. Smith & Allan are pretty good for oil, bear in mind transfer box and axles use the same oil so don't bother buying 1/2...

It won't be a 2b anymore it will take the id from the 130. If you modify the chassis then it may well mean you need an IVA.

1st bump already, you're eager 😁 Have another bump on me 😉 Looks tidy.

I think the current one is Britpart, replaced about 10 years ago when the oil cooler imploded! Might be a weak pump - I have found receipt for a pump I bought about 5 years ago, but I have to say I don’t actually remember fitting it! Probably...

My son fitted a Britpart rad to his and it's lasted fine and cools well, if that's any help. Water pump should come off OK if the cambelt has been changed as per recommendations.

Sorry for your loss. Maybe keep the body style the same, help keep the memories that way. You don't really need power steering once moving along, handy for parking maybe. Post up a few photos.

Fair enough, small fire it is then .

You never know with a previous owner, besides I have had blue oil before. I linked the output seal as someone else had suggested the possibility, does look a possibility by one of the pictures.

You can get heating elements that stick to the sump and heat the oil.
