Hi Phill, Right, so this may not actually be as bad as I thought it might be... The brass fitting is what I've munched, 3/4 of the thread is now useless.

Thank you all so much for your help! Phill, I've just got home so I can't check- but please excuse my naivety... Does this mean that the stripped out connection is actually a removeable piece on the radiator end and I can just... replace it? o_O

fitting* rather

Correct, the seat has a very small bevel to it probably 0.5mm. it then has a recess where I assume a washer or 'O' ring sits... the fiotting itself is a steel tapered fitting.

The problem I'm having is that the nut gets to a certain point and slips, so i can't get enough torque behind it to press the seal. I'm still unsure whether it needs an 'O' ring or a copper washer. :(

Hi Lynall, Do the adapters replace the brass section that has threaded for mine or does it act as a sleeve/reducer for different pipe setups?

Hi guys, The engine I have is a 200 tdi from a discovery 1. I have looked online for the cooling pipes to see what should be used but none of them match the ends of mine, I've attached an image below- mine are tapered at the end but all the others online seem to be round and have a washer on...

Hi Grebby, Yes I did, but I'm worried the washer is too thick. I've been looking online and can't actually find anything to suggest there's a copper washer at all. The oil cooling hoses only appear to have rubber O rings?

Hi guys, As the title suggests I've pulled a rookie. I tightened the oil pipe nut on to the brass thread and managed to strip 3/4 of the brass thread. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get enough torque behind the bolt to crush the copper washer? I can get it to a certain point before...

Sounds good to me, thank you Steve!

I've just got round to changing everything over, all the seals are done and the timing is all set. However I'm not too sure I've done it correctly. When I crank the engine over (by hand) it feels really stiff, is this normal? When I set the timing for the pump it was quite difficult to move the...

Thank you all so much, I think I've accumulated the info I need from you guys, the following seals are for a discovery 200 tdi: Crank seal Product Number: ERR6490 Camshaft seal Product Number:ETC5064 Timing Case dust seal: ETC4154 Thank you so much guys, fantastic forum with fantastic members...

Would I be correct in thinking that the crank oil seal is the same seal used for the from casing as well?

Perfect thanks guys, I've looked online but again I'm struggling with part numbers. I had a look at corteco but can't find a supplier and they don't supply the front and rear crank seal on their website. I looked on turner engineering too and had the same results. The only ones that seem to do...

Amazing, you guys sure know your stuff! Every time I carry out a maintenance sweep I find out something new! Before I attempt to remove the timing pulleys is there anything I should know regarding setting the timing? I have got a timing pin in the fuel pump and flywheel and set the mark on the...

Hi Steve, thank you for your response. Where would I find these seals? I've got a 200 tdi from a discovery. Just want to make double sure I get the right parts. Also is Dayco a good replacement for belts?

Hi guys, Today I started a job I'd wish I hadn't... After what was meant to be a simple timing belt change has turned into a fiasco. Anyhow, as the title suggests I have oil inside the timing belt housing and it's fresh oil. Would anyone be able to tell me what the cause could be? Many thanks!

I'll take a look at that first before I start ripping things apart. What exactly am I looking for in regards to the crank pulley? Thank you all!

There's also a lot of soot/carbon that comes out of the exhaust when I put my foot down on start up, what would this indicate?
