Yes changed the stat but havnt checked the temp sender yet either

On the last engine it sprung a leak on a coolant pipe I pulled over topped it up drove a couple more miles ran out of water so called the AA he found a leaky pipe but couldn't fix it so topped me up and gave me spare water for the 10 mile trip home I pulled over 3 more times but on the last bit I pu...

Just another thought if the dalek cap is broken and it doesnt open to release the coolant could that cause it to run hotter. As in effect its now a closed loop under higher pressure so higher temp. I only say this as I haven't seen any increase in fluid in the tank behind the number plate, or decrea...

Thanks for the info both good advice. Was going to do another air bleed and check the fan. I can borrow a IR thermometer from work so can try that. I presume the fan kicks in at a pre determined temp so if I first check the fan. I saw thread for that somewhere. If it doesn't kick in its not as hot a...

I've just had a recon engine and head fitted and am going through the running in stage but the temperature is a little hotter that normal, it used to always sit directly over the led in the middle now it is past that about 3/4 of the way to max. but I drove for about 100 miles today and it didn't in...

On my 1.6td engine there is still the cable for the electric water pump that is supposed to be there, I believe to carry on cooling the engine after its been turned of. I have had the van now for over 10 years and it has ran with out it but I am now replacing the engine as I had a coolant leak and o...

I like your thinking flexible plastic will last a long time

That's getting cheaper but typical not in stock - good job the air is cold at the moment

I'm replacing the radiator but need the card board type material that goes around the edge ive found a 3 piece set for about £55 but has anyone made them cheaper or can recommend an alternative

I checked continuity from the cluster to the earth link behind the airfilter this was ok. So made a new earth cable, straight to the battery and everything worked as it should, even the bulbs were all bright something I've not seen for a few years. When I stripped back the earth cable to join a new ...

Any further advice on this please. When I indicate right and put my brakes on the indicator stops working. So far I have cleaned up the terminals to the front and back indicator / rear light cluster. Cleaned the earth cables behind the airfilter in the engine bay. Cleaned each of the earths on the t...

Thanks for the info. Ill just keep cleaning them all up. ta

Just checked the zig unit ref light no longer comes on must have fixed with the alternator fix

Cold starting now sorted it was a bad low temp heat switch. Replaced and sorted. Battery light sorted was a loose terminal on the alternater. Two things to sort right hand indicator stops working when you put the brakes on and rear lights still a bit dim on the right side rear so must be a bad earth...

I have sort of fixed the indicators on the left side the front indicator had serious corrosion on the terminal, cleaned it up and it works fine, I still get some indicator problems on right turn sometimes it works other times the green light comes on but no blinking. I found the relay for the zig un...
