Are the viscous couplings and fan interchangeable between engines, ie, does a viscous fan unit from a 4.0 and 4.6 petrol fit the diesel 2.5, because they all look similar but the diesel ones are much more expensive? Cheers

Is this the viscous fan coupling I need? Click me Thanks

is it an easy job, i guess it involves removing radiator, belts, and fan? Is there a guide, or in RAVE. Cheers

Is it necessary to fix the viscous fan or can I just use additional double electric fans wired to a switch on the front of the radiator to help it along. or does it have a secondary purpose. Radiator is only a year old or so, but will try flushing it and refreshing coolant when I get chance...

any ideas anyone

1996 2.5 DSE auto Right, thanks all for the advice given, great help. I have since sorted the small leak I had BUT..... I have since done a lot of research and have realised my car NEVER, and I mean never no matter how much thrashing or driving, overheats under normal driving. But as soon as...

usually cracking an injector while running works well

My opinion is dont spend it on a P38 unless you want a comfy off roader, they are fast becoming an old car, they are getting very worn out, and have lots and lots of problems, I should know, I bought mine seemingly in a very good condition, had lots of new bits, and parts, but has had endless...

Cheers for advice, In the back of my mind I knew it probably was a head gasket, luckily its been parked up for the last week so hopefully hasnt done any more damage, does anyone know if there is a technical term for a SNIFF test kit, and where I can buy one, tried halfrauds and local motorsave...

Another question. Can the head gasket be failing if there is no water/coolant in the oil at all? And there is a leak of water/coolant from what appears the top of the block when the engine hasnt been run and is stationary? My car never over heats on short journeys, and as long as I top up the...

Damn, so looks like a head gasket then, has anyone had a head gasket done at a garage? did the head have to be skimmed as well? and what did it cost? Would have a go myself but if it needs skimming then its not worth the hassle of getting it wrong. If its not too much I'll get it fixed...

Looks like I'll be getting shut then, too many problems with this 2 ton pain in the arse, seems to be a money pit since I got it, and that was only a month ago :mad: Dont really see any point throwing more money at it when Im only after a work horse, (and have always wanted a defender really :D)

But would it leak when the car hasnt been run and is stationary? Also the cooland level is currently at about 1/4 and it still seems to leak. Cheers

Right so I tried to locate the source of my leaking, it leaks coolant/water down the left side of the gearbox (looking from the front) near the rear of the engine. Leaks a lot more with a heavy driving attitude, leaks slowly if driving sensible. Leaks when stationary, if driving sensibly and...

Its awful, full stop. The whole point of the defender was to be a utility offroad vehicle, this looks like a womans sports car. I would love to see this used by the army :D

sorry about pic size, didnt realise how big, give me 5 mins and I'll shrink them

Hi all, can anyone tell me what this is please? (p38 2.5 DSE auto 1996) It sit on what looks like front of the gearbox, next to the exhaust. (sorry for the low quality pics, taken under the car) Looks a little worse for where, with a few splits in the rubber, just wondered...

Why do we need to know this? As Hippo says, I think your in the wrong palce HAHA :D

Would these be any good? eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
