It’s not on leafs but I’ll have to have a good look at it. Im going to get a video of it, if not the MOT tester can look lol.

Yeah I was going to give them a try but to be honest I think I’ll be just changing them straight away including springs, they look old and I don’t know what hammer they have had and I’ll be doing it up as a bit of a expedition type vehicle.

Sorry for digging up a old thread but I’d prefer to do that then start a new. I have the same issue and it’s really bad, originally when I bought the vehicle it had modular wheels and chunky tyres and wobbled all the time I went over around 30mph I sorted that by putting original wheels and...

Guys I’ve took my injection pump off because it was leaking what looked like to be the rear of the pump, once I’ve got it off it seems to be below the springy thingy (if that’s the correct technical term). Has anyone rebuilt/resealed one of these or know of a workshop manual ? I’ve found a seal...

I’ll have a play around with it... i don’t know why I put myself through the pain of another LR lmao.... the exhaust has snapped in the middle and appears it’s worked it’s way loose on the down pipe... no doubt another bodge! I’ll get it where I want it one day.. at some point I want to change...

The gauge fitted is a PRC3105 gauge but for now I’ll try a digital just for piece of mind. This thermostat was the most expensive I’ve ever bought at about

I’ll have a look at those now... my name is might have a digi one for me from his kit cars. The turbo is below the manifold, which I was led to believe those was defender engines. The engine code is 12L

Cheers Phil I’ll give it a go buddy and see what happens... I also could do with working out what engine it is wether it’s defender or discovery too

Done the kettle trick and it’s opening and closing ok.. guess I’m best with a digital gauge for now, what should the reading be ? Once it comes I’ll pop the stat back in and see if it makes a difference

Not air locked, and rad doesn’t seem blocked I don’t think as it gets warm without the thermostat in place unless that’s because it’s going via the bypass. This is the stat in the picture the sender and gauge are just standard although the gauge on the dash could be a v8 has its been converted...

Completed... thankfully I managed getting time off today to get the Land Rover built back up... she’s running sweet as a nut other than if sat idling the gauge creeps up to just above half and the thermostat isn’t doing it’s job.. it seems to be stopping water passing through causing the...

Very informative thank you, I will go for that and it will definitely be fused... it’s an old v8 and they have just not bothered adding it although the glow plug harness is on plugs lol so I’ll get a glow plug relay and start from scratch including having a light in my raptor dash when it comes...

Right guys sorry for digging a old thread up but it saves a new one if I can get the answers I want... according to this relay what size wire would you recommend for each plug? I’m starting from scratch as the old v8 I have had a engine conversion in 2011 and it appears they have completely not...

They use that much.. Jesus, I was told approximately a egg cup. Yeah the heads fine it’s been skimmed and tested ok!

Well I'm tempted to remove the full heating system and pop it under engine bay where the current heater system is. Going for one of those diesel burning one, yeah fair enough its something else using diesel but they only use a egg cup for a good few hours and it can be left on all night if you...

Eberspacher, apparently on the self build camper page on Facebook they recommend some of the cheaper Chinese types but I wouldn’t want to risk them!

Thought that would be the case flat, I’ll just join the two and keep the thermostat in place, or at least that’s what I’ll do once my new diesel heater arrives and the headgasket is sorted!

Too add on to this thread rather than start a new one I’m just looking for a bit of advise. I’ve started the strip down and so far so good although I have a couple of questions regarding the injectors and coolant/heater system. Here are the four injectors removed I’m a little bit concerned of...

I'm thinking of a britpart head gasket set but a earling head gasket its self but the britpart head gasket set comes with all the bolts etc
