Thanks, as always

Hi I have a similar problem but the drain in the problematic corner is clear (as tested with a watering can - good flow at the wheel arch) so I suspect the drain tube has either split or is not well connected. Before I go further does anyone know the size (internal diameter) of the drain tubing...

I sourced one from Island 4x4 a year or so ago but cannot see them on their web site at present - have you called them?

Check the battery charge and connections before going further

Druim - thanks very much for the write-up I did the o-rings today and really aprpeciated your virtual help, worked like a dream. For those planning on doing this I used a 450 mm (crosshead) screwdriver, part of a 3-pack set from Sealey their part AK4906, I don't know if it was a perfect fit on...

Had similar recently, changed two things and one or both fixed it - if EGR fitted check the flexible pipes (both of them) to make sure they are intact. Check the fuel tank pump and be prepare to fit a new one (think Whammers edited a how to test piece on here)

Hi A quick heads up for P38 diesels and maybe others - our local Euro Car Parts shop (Rochester) is selling 20L of Triple QX 10w40 semi-syntheic oil for £28.99 which imho is a pretty good price. I am not sure how widespread within the ECP chain this offer is available as it does not appear on...

Not something I have ever bothered with. Flow to the expansion tank is usually confirmed when I start the engine and run it for a few minutes.

Hi Doe anyone have a copy of the picture that Canyon put on the old Landyzone site which detail the measurements and cut positions to enable replacement of the in tank fuel pump from inside the vehicle? Failing that the measurements themeselves would be helpful. I pm'ed Canyon a few days ago...

Thank you, much better

the revision results in all the vital details of a poster being displayed on the left hand side. Might be ok on a pic screen but on an iPad it results in a massive waste of space in the message area especially if the poster only adds a short message. Results in less messages per screen.. Not good

+1 well worth doing

To tidy this up, the one that split was a Nissens which had been in 2 years 3 months (when I checked the paper-work). Ordered genuine this time along with a genuine thermostat and a new header tank cap, all from Island 4x4. Hopefully this one will last longer...

So is the view still that genuine rads are better? My cheaper one has just failed after about 18 months and I see that Island now offer both genuine and Britpart / Nissen patten ones. I think I know the answer but thought I would ask before spending £

Must be a lot of it about, I had an almost identical failure the other day. 2000 year, 138k.
