    Expansion tank coolant level up & down

    Disco 2 V8 4.0. Expansion tank was intermittently pressurising A LOT. On a couple of occasions it lost nearly all the water & overheated. No sign of where the water is going - I think most came from the expansion tank overflow & was vaporised on the exhaust. I have tried various fixes and...

    V8 4.0 coolant loss

    My car has started to loose coolant, a lot of it. There are no signs of leaks anywhere that can be seen underneath, although I have seen some water in the area of the expansion tank, and there is a smell which may be burnt anti-freeze. The car starts perfectly first time (no initial misfiring)...

    I have got as far as this but how do I get the pump out ? (the belt is loose by the way). Do I get the pulley wheel off the pump assembly - and if so how? Shall I use some PlusGas to release the wheel from the pump. Or can I tap the whole thing to loosen then lift out? All advice gratefully...

    P38 2.5 deisel auto 1998 where is gearbox filler

    According to RAVE the filler is near the top front of the gearbox sump (the wider end), drain at the bottom. But on mine this is where the gearbox dipstick pipe is attached ! I can't find a filler hole anywhere. To add to the fun there appeared to be no oil on the dipstick (yes I did follow...

    what is dripping from my front diff ??? P38 DSE

    there is a smell of diesel, but no signs of any leakage, so I can't find out if it really is diesel. Here's the thing - it feels like oil and does not smell at all - definitely not like diesel ! If it is oil, it is absolutely clean, and it is not thick oil. :confused: Any ideas what could drip...

    P36 DSE misfire cured !!!

    After 3 garages gave up (one a RR specialist) I had replaced lots of parts in an effort to cure the misfire. Of course Testbook & Faultmate said speed sensor invalid value - well it was because of the misfire. Eventually the head cracked so I have now replaced that. All back together & still...

    p38 diesel fuel filter - Britparts any good?

    I have had a (very) intermittent misfire for some time. It's a long story but no-one has been able to cure. But it seems to be intermittent fuel starvation and just wondering if this could because I replaced all the filters at last service with a set from Brits parts. I have seen some...

    p38 how do you get to the bonnet sensor switch ??

    I mean the little square micro switch attached to the RH bonnet catch. I took out the grill and the centre piece (I think call the bash plate or similar), still cant get to it.

    Had enough it's going on eBay

    yes it looks like it's not the head gasket. So after spending a packet on other new components, only to fix the original misfire I now have a different problem, overheating and it looks like more than I expected and may be the cylinder head. So before I put it back together if anyone is...

    300tdi windows started to steam up

    Lost some water from the header tank, but engine running fine. No mayo in oil, no extra pressure in header tank (or smell of exhaust - phew). But my windows have started to steam up. I guess it must be the heater matrix itself - does this sound likely ? Anyone had the same happen to them ...

    Still haven't replaced my cylinder head gasket. well I have the proper tool at last to lever the tension from the camchain, but am unable to insert a pin in the hole to hold it back. It seems as though the lever does not move far enough as it does release the tension but not actually move...
