Just to point out, me and the neighbour did try to do the fiat(?) thermostat hack - but couldnt get it in the pipes, and I topped up the coolant after that - so hopefully its just down to this. Can I just confirm though, I should be getting a return to the tank by the small pipe leading in at...

I have ordered a new expansion bottle cap just in case, I will look into bleeding the system tonight when I get home from work

About a month

Hi all, go a weird one - after turning off my engine this morning I got a strange noise coming from the front end, sounded to be driver side, it was like a gurgling, bubbling or rumbling type noise and only lasted for a couple of seconds after turning everything off. its the second time I have...

I presume the winner has already been informed? In which case it wasn't me haha

I presume the competition is closed now as the winner was drawn this morning I think - I heard now so it can't have been me haha

Well the bairns school is open again today so I guess I will be going to work haha. Freelander cleaned up and warmed up ready to go. Looks horrible out there! Tempted to finish early and work from home later!

Got let out of work early, but had to go back to get the wife. Got stuck behind a brand new range Rover doing 10mph! Old gadgy inside look terrified!

... I can't pull the "Sorry lads, can't get to work today - cars stuck" routine. Place I work is half empty today!

Looks good. That's one of the next jobs on my list. Where did you get it from?

Well it arrived yesterday and I am off work tomorrow - so I will get it fitted in the morning and see how it goes.

Yeah first thing I did was replace all the tyres, checked the vcu and fitted a tpms!

Yeah got a cracking couple of hammers here that should do that job. Fingers crossed by the end of the weekend I will have the side bars fitted. Then that just leaves the remote thermostat to fit and the front wiper parking to sort out.

Yup, found them. Four of the six that I need to use have tapped out fine, two have bolts snapped off so I will have to try drilling them out or grind them off and punch them through. Just didn't fancy having them rattle in the chasis haha. I will have a proper look when I am off on Friday...

This is the one I went for, not sure what its like as it isnt here yet (supposed to be arriving today / tomorrow) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-MG-ZT-Diesel-CDTi-Inline-Thermostat-Kit-With-Instructions-86-Degrees/323053535949?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

It's a 2006 td4 manual. I ordered a kit from eBay, when I turn my PC on later I will post the link. 14.99 I think it was, you can probably get cheaper to be honest bit this one was the only.one that delivered to Argos for me to collect.

Got mine on order - so I am interested in Shakari's question as well.

Yeah number 3 won! Haha. To be honest never thought about tapping the existing ones. I am sure I have a set of taps somewhere.

It depends on the year of your fl1. Mine is eodb compliant but it's a 2006. Also depends of you only want to read generic codes or are after something that can talk to abs, airbags etc. I have a generic elm327 and it's OK. Reads some live data as well as engine error codes. Cost about £4 and...

I haven't yet. The old bracket used one of the two holes, so I was just comparing the size of the rivnuts. I might nip out and see how m8 fit.
