Thanks each. I will be testing the viscous tomorrow. I’ve looked at the ally rads with the plastic tanks, I assume that they are ones referred to as ‘epoxy bonded’ in the all ali rad adverts inferring that they don’t last?

Again useful info Discool especially your ref to Saudi. I wonder how successful or not the 3.9 in standard cooling format was over there and whether there had had to be any cooling system upgrades? Also your ref to being stuck in stationary traffic is exactly what I had in mind as the trucks...

Thanks for the advice Discool, I get the fact that there is a lot of heat generated under the bonnet and I appreciate that the factory system needs to be kept in top condition. As far as I know mine is (clean rad (recondition fitted several years back according to docs) temp gauge showing near...

Aye Up, Yeah Juke I keep getting excited about some’at I’ve been reading only to find its about a D2! :-) Discool, since I’ve had the truck (April) I’ve felt that it runs hot - not indicated by the temp gauge (shows a tad below centre most often) but if I lift the bonnet even after short...

Cancel that, just read the link.

Aye Up Juke, Thanks for the quick response. No, I’m not minted so Alisport is out of my reach. Are any mods required or does it drop straight in and does it have the necessary for the auto oil cooler?

Aye Up All, With a view to improving the cooling system on my D1 v8 efi I’ve been looking at fitting a better radiator. Does anyone have any experience of the aluminium ones sold on Ebabe, (200 sovs) seemingly mostly in Holland where I’m told ‘they love their v8s’ ? Ta

Aye Up Discool, Just read your latest reply after having responded to Juke. Thanks for the update, I will have look on Ebabe tomorra. Cheers

Well Juke, that’s because your ECU doesn’t like LEDs. I’ve upgraded my interior lights with LEDs and added one to the shut face of the rear door (which when open hides the offside tail light cluster and which IMO should have been spotted by LR etc during trials!) neither of which appears to...

Aye Up agin, Thanks for the replies. Juke it the v8 efi. Discool, thanks for the info. On the strength of that it looks like it’s the pump that’s got asthma then :-( (I have replaced with silicone hoses too) Is anyone aware of whether any other vac pump will work or is it the case that the...

Aye Up, I’ve read a number of threads on here re ‘technically’ testing various items in the system but before I follow the route of testing the cruise ECU with a volt meter, does anyone know the answers to these practical tests on other parts of the system? First of all - All perished vacuum...

Aye Up, Marjon, come to think of it I have one of those valve keys in my mountain bike tool box! Aah yes Stanley, noted. Not cheap are they! Thanks each.

Aye Up All, Amazing - on two counts: 1. Discool, I have just found a packet of brand new/old stock tyre valves (the actual inners that go into the stem) which I probably inherited from either my father or father-in-law potentially 20 years ago! 2. Stanley Steamer - I did a quick Goggle for the...

Aye Up, I suspected as much Datatek. Lolol I forgot to include abduction and ransom! Regards

Aye Up, Thanks for all that, plenty for me to look into then. As Arnie said - “I’ll be back”. Lolol Enzian

Aye Up, just got back in. Thanks for the replies - I appreciate that the question is a bit subjective but having owned a Fiat Panda Cross for the past 10 years without a single fault in that time (Until recently - turbo waste gate actuator seized) and only servicing to do and consumables to...

Sounds like we need counter measures! A plate that appears normal in every respect but cannot be electronically recorded; Amnesia inducing output from the target vehicle; A jamming device that blocks all data to/from the detector vehicle; An active device that hacks the reading computer when...

Aye Up from a fellow new bloke.

Aye Up All, Recent Discovery 1 V8i auto owner here. :) I’m in the process of putting together a tools/consumables/spares pack to carry around in the truck to cater for the most likely failures on a 20 years old vehicle. (Who laughed age is irrelevant on a LR?!!! lol). I’d like to be able to...

Hmm, interesting Sierrafery/Discool I’ve just had a look at the LEDs and the filament type. They are both relatively cheap so I think that I will order a slack handful of each and do a bit of fettlin’ (no ‘g’ ! Lol). I haven’t had the ‘pleasure’ of replacing any of the other dashboard...
