The stutter could be many things. It's probably not related to the low temperature reading tho. This is normally down to a knackered thermostat. Long job to replace it I'm afraid. See my thread for details of its replacement...

Bit weird, but I think I'll get used to it.

It's less of a problem when said window is completely lowered.

15mm and 10mm socket if my original text is to be believed :)

Good to hear you've got it sorted:D

That's pretty good. I'm lucky if I get 6 litres out when I do an oil change by gravity draining alone. That includes the oil filter too. What pump do you have and where does it suck the oil from?

Yes, brake fluid on the pistons. I wouldn't use a compressor to push the pistons out, you'll fire them across the workshop:eek: Footpump and a suitable adapter is all you need. You may want to loom on YouTube for a few tips on how best to get the seal in position. It sort of has to go on the...

I did my caliper rebuilds and guide pins earlier this year. Not too bad a job, even on the driveway in January. ..:) I removed the caliper and tied it up then pumped the brake pedal a few times to start pushing the piston out. Once I'd got it to a certain point I clamped the hose, disconnected...

Could also be your LP pump starting to fail. If it does it again give it a thump and see if that gets it turning. Could be time for a new pump. Don't bother with a cheap one - get a decent one or genuine.

Toothbrush and soap :p

Thinking about it, mine was a bit more rattly to begin with. It did quiten down tho. Or I got used to it... Mine's got 140K on the clock so yours is a young'un. I think the key to longevity is frequent oil changes.

Castrol Magnatec fully synthetic 5W30 C3 spec. Seems ok. Is that the stuff you put in?

True. FB generally gets on my jugs. I often consider deleting myself :) Maybe Dom will be on here later and explain all.

Not sure. I know he added the "Official" bit to distinguish it from the, er, other group. Maybe they've just got the hump and complained. Why that would get you a Faecesbook ban tho, I don't know. The Official group is still available.

I was thinking the latter. Some sort of sour grapes issue on their part perhaps. We shall see...

Has it? What's that all about then?

While I can't answer your question exactly, I would say that if that hole is threaded then, presumably, it needs a bolt in it. Can't tell from the photo if it is threaded or not. I had something similar on my Td4... I kept getting oil weeping out and making a proper mess of the IRD and cross...

High 30s usually. 40+ on a long run.

It'll be fine. 3 odd years on and I've had no leaks and the thermostat opens and closes when it should still.

Water pump? You mean thermostat housing presumably. You don't need to take the pump off. Anyway, job done. It'll be fine when you test drive it, I'm sure. Well done :)
