I should have looked at the date At least we all tried

If your engine is truly overheating then all of the above. If not, check earth wires particularly from chassis to engine as loose or disconnected wire can cause false temperature readings

Howay man! 2 Landies! You must be a glutton for punishment. Welcome. There are some good folk her.

I imagine when you fire it up, you'll give them a bit of a headache.

.vvv I would question the wisdom of spending £50k on something that might not be around that long. There are echoes of AWD (remember them ?) who took on Bedford's trucks after GM's retreat. They didn't last long. After such anticipation, 15,000 reservations doesn't seem that many to me and I...

Check the earth wire from the chassis to the engine. I had exactly the same problem some years ago. This was the result of the wire making intermittent contact resulting not only in alarming temperature readings but also in perceptible dimming of the lights. The cable / connection had probably...

It couldn't have been one of those from Longleat Safari Park with a duff sat nav, could it?

For the last 25 years I firstly cleaned the chassis and all bits I could get at. Then painted with Hammerite and sprayed Waxoil in every hole I could find. ( I used a bike pump with flexible adaptor which produces a fine mist and for less accessible parts of the frame and bulkhead, stopped up...

I was thinking to hang on to mine 'till I drop. BUT..................everyone has their price!

Might be an idea to check the securing clips for the control cables on the bulkhead. If the cables are swinging free it could affect what goes on in the box. Mine rarely registers middle gauge unless I've been thrashing it or hauling a heavy load but it does throw out adequate heat but perhaps I...

Good advice Retro. Was going to use it last summer but the virus got in the way. Shame to see it sitting there ready to go, but going nowhere. Perhaps post jab I might return to normality and will take it out next summer but am currently confined to base on pain of death. Poor thing has spent...

Thanks again, rob That was one of the problems I had with boats.

That's a great set up you have there mr V8250, What I can see of your vehicle looks spot on. Are you posting a record of your refurb? Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks lynall, Hadn't thought of that one. That way I can continue to run the engine regularly.

Thanks j I'll look into that. If it works for you over there, then Dorset shouldn't be a problem.
