thanks guys, yes its a salisbury.

Hello I am sourcing a replacement rear axle for our 1995 110. Always prefer to buy the most recent part I can find, so wondering what year is the latest that will fit our 300tdi, ie do the td5 110 rear axles fit? many thanks steve

Hi I want a 110 salisbury axle disc brake type. thanks, steve

thankyou very much James you are a gent. It is kept in on the valley bottom of quite a cold area that is mainly in the shade this time of year and frost often doesnt get chance to thaw during the day, so the landy is often frozen for days at a time. I will monitor its starting performance as...

A warm hello to you all, ( from a damp Wales) I would like to know if any 200tdi 90's were made without heater plugs/glowplugs as standard? Or was it a common modification done to GPO vehicles? We have an ex postoffice J reg 200tdi 90, new to us, and it has no heater plugs/glow plugs. I...

is the idea of OE ones being plastic so that they CAN blow out under pressure? before something else lets go?

latest observation. after a 15 minute drive gauge was in red zone, thermostat housing to hot to touch, top hose to rad hot. coolent in expansion tank cold.

thats a simple way of checking the thermostat opens, thanks. I've just been out in the landy and i'm pretty sure the temp gauge going to red zone is an electrical gremlin, as you can put it into the red and bring it out again just by switching lights/wipers/demister on or off.

thanks james. I havent done the check on the rad as you describe, but I will do. How does the bit sound to you about my drain and flush not removing al the old coolent? Are there trapped pockets like this on 300tdi's ? or does it sound like operator error? ( i hear that last phrase alot in work...

First coolent renewal and engine block and rad flush on our 300tdi I followed haynes manual to the letter. But when I came to refilling the system with BLUE 50/50 concentrate coolent mix, I found that the system filled to the top BEFORE it should have. Also I was p**sed off to find some GREEN...

just had our 300tdi back from a blown head gasket repair. the temp gauge worked ok before but now it goes into the red after ten minutes driving, UNTIL we turn off some electrics ( wipers / lights / de mister ) and then needle comes back into middle of the scale. coolent in the header tank was...

thanks guys, I had never seen a tirfor before, and if I had I think I would have liked it even before all these recommendations. many thanks.

thanks guys, yes I have these things so levelled it is. many thanks.
