Thats not actually true much as you would like to believe it. The Prius is the equivalent of the Ford Model T for the cars of the next 20 years. The immediate future is hybrid with kinetic energy recovery systems. Its an honest car, its not the cars fault that it has been put on a pedestal...

Changing the thermostat did nothing for mine. Taking the cowl off brought it up into the white.

There's a clue in his name, 300tdi Classic. Which if I'm reading between the lines correctly means: 1 it has a centre viscous coupling 2 which is most likely seized. 3 If the prop is bust right off and the front dips then the back is still grabbing so either as Data point out, your prop...

I've found that the engine light coming on when you lift off is a crank sensor fault, not a no.4 injector fault. On the over-run the EDC cuts off fuel supply so the no.4 injector does not return a reliable engine rev. The EDC knows this and goes to the crank sensor looking for a rev count. If...

Yeah Sean, they're flippin expensive and I don't like them. I'm also thinking of doing Datatek's trick of using the aircon fans instead of it. They worked really well like that on the RRC3.9 and it seems stupid that they don't act as emergency cooling on the DSE as standard. Like I said it...

Missed this on first reading. It would be well worth your while changing the expansion tank cap. These have been known to cause odd overheating issues.

I'm with Sean on that. I've a seized viscous fan. Now I've looked at the overheating issues with the P38 for a long time. With the seized fan my car runs cooler than it should in most situations I only come up about 1mm above the lower white line whereas a year ago I would have been 1mm left...

Ouch!!! That is one beautiful Rangie.

My plan was to not touch the existing wiring so everything would be normal as far as EDC/BECM is concerned. I was going to run a seperate feed from the battery to the relay like you do with a winch. The switch would just kick in this seperate relay. This relay would then feed the output of plug...

No reason why you couldn't run a seperate wire to the glowplug feed run off a seperate relay and switch. The only thing is that it will still be starting on hot fuel map and timing. I actually have all the bits as I planned to do this 2 years ago, I'm pretty sure its a morris minor starter...

I'd suspect the water pump. The pump has a plastic impeller that can crack after an overheating episode. If your DSE has overheated you should change the pump. The other thing to check is if the baffle that forces the coolant through the rad is still there. Has been known to fail allowing...

Someone is officially doing 2.7's from the D3 into P38, link was posted here a few weeks back. Re the OP, I cant think of a reason why you would tell anyone about changing the engine. Its going to take a keen investigator to spot that the M57 is not an M51. IMHO it would only factor into a...

WD40 is only mediocre as a penetrating oil. There are dedicated release sprays which chemically freeze the rusted nut, products by Wurth and Rostoff which are much more effective for the job. Even good old fashioned 3 in 1 oil is better than WD40

Just for the record, while that is an 'on board diagnostics' display its not what everyone here knows as OBD. IT only deals with faults in the Lucas 14CUX ECU, nothing else and as far as I know was only fitted to the US export models, mores the pity:rolleyes: I think it can be fitted to...

They seem to wear well but from what I've seen they are complete Crap in the ice

I've towed with just about every 4x4 available in the UK market upto the mid noughties - So Fur Trapper leave it off with your super duty F350's etc, they're just not an option in RHD countries. And I guarantee that in the wrong hands they can be flipped fairly handy if they're empty too. I've...

£240!! Flippin hell thats value. I paid that much alone for the EAS Kicker when it came out first which only did one system! Its probably not a rival for the full fat faultmate but its hard to call between it and the FCR. The one thing I would say though is that if buying the FCR gives...

Thats what he was told too. His english is not great but from what I made out he had a replacement chip in the EDC that he claimed was remappable via OBD. I've no idea if that is true or even feasible. Whats more telling is the solid advice from the other posters, Chas in particular but...
