Good morning everyone,
I was able to complete everything successfully. Thank you very much!
When I put the car back on the wheels, everything aligned perfectly and I was able to insert the rear bolt by hand.
Yes, I will continue to work on the...
If things start to go a bit squirly it’s often best to go and have a cup of tea and/or leave it till tomorrow. Trust me I’m an eggspurt at snapping things that are generally indestructible. Even forced a bolt once but instead of the bolt shearing...

Good evening everyone,
I currently have a lot of work on the vehicle.
The ABS accumulator has been delivered.
I want to swap it tomorrow.
Just to be on the safe side:
- The car is stationary and the engine is not running
- Hit the brakes 30 times...
My sensor is bolted to the head so probably a few degrees cooler than the head itself and maybe a few degrees below the coolant as well.
Usually it runs between 85 and 95C on my sensor. Thermostat opens at 82, I think. The air con fans come in...
from my experience with the viscous on the v8.. when it started to fail, the average running temp while driving clicked up a degree or 2. swapped the viscous and it dropped back down again
Short runs with their associated cold starts are a killer. I once had a 3.5 efi auto that returned 7mpg (brim-to-brim check) because I had no choice but to use the car for a week of 5 mile single journeys in the middle of winter.
I don't think so. That M51 head is its weak point. That's why later models pull in the aircon fans as well. That's on top of the Land Rover rad which is a thicker core than the aftermarket ones. Most of the time it is fine but work it hard all...
like the l322 😂
I know, was just saying lecky fans usually don't kick in til over 100° easy, one of my cars does lo at 105 and hi at 112. 95 isn't a problem.
This talk makes me wonder if the lecky fan connector on the l322 actually works now 🤔
