It rarely breaks 95C. Prolonged hills, especially when towing.

I don't think so. That M51 head is its weak point. That's why later models pull in the aircon fans as well. That's on top of the Land Rover rad which is a thicker core than the aftermarket ones. Most of the time it is fine but work it hard all the time and that head cracks, especially if you put...

Oddly enough I might modify the aircon fans to kick in at 95.

Drove with the windows down today and thought I hear an odd noise that seemed to follow engine speed. Only audible around 1700 rpm so thinking idler bearing or timing chain tensioner or similar.

OK. We'll try to get it all back together.

Not convinced my viscous is as efficient as it should be. Or maybe the radiator. Although the needle doesn't move my Engine Guard informs me the head temperature is creeping up over 95C on long steep hills.

Odd. Didn't see that post!

I think @brianp38dse has the tool and isn't far from you.

Is it sorted?

I think given we don't know the starting point with his he'd be better off doing the static with a dial guage and then maybe using the Nanocom to move it towards the engine later to see if it helps. Someone has done something wrong here so I would put everything as per RAVE to start with. My...

You can get UV dye to go in the coolant and then use a UV torch to see where it is leaking. As Data says, heater matrix, o-rings for said matrix, coolant hoses (check the one behind the engine by the bulkhead with a mirror), expansion cap and possibly the radiator itself. Worth pressuring...

Hmmm. How much pressure in there?

You found a house under some brambles? A brothel of some sort?

That's how all my past cars with cruise have worked. Kermie's is still playing mind games. Maybe he should stop staring at images of P38s.

For cancelling on my cars but maybe it needs a foot to the floor to kick in.

Boge were original and seem best to me.

OK. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. If no-one else bites then let me know and I'll have a word with my boss. We have a double-axle trailer at work that I suspect could handle a P38A but I need to check and I need to see if he'll let me borrow it one weekend. I can't have 2 '38s out...

Usually the pipes are welded to the cooler with corrosion and you end up replacing the cooler as well. You might be able to cut the nut off if you're lucky.

Bolts can be from Britpart (Island-4x4 or similar). Bushes I went original from Rimmer Bros.

Sounds like it. Where's the car? Greece?
