They do perish and split over time. As OBG suggests a temporary fix is to get a peice of pipe and plug it with a bolt.

It should have one of these on it

Hopefully it will be something simple like the injector leak off pipes or the rubber blanking cap on 1st injector. I had a split blanking cap in Applecross, Scotland, diesel pee'd out of it when the engine was turning over.

One thing to be aware of with the diesel tacho is that they can be quite sensitive to damp, well mine is. I have one installed in my van and during the winter in can sometimes take while for it to work.

Could be a dry cv joint. I had a similar sound a few years back which started as an intermittent knock which gradually got worse. I had the joints changed, both sides, but mechanic said they were both dry as grease had deteriorated. It is possible to 'inject' grease around the joint, I use a syringe...

As Aidan says I'd start by cleaning all the earth's.
Cheap and simple things first

Mines is made from black angled plastic. Never broken etc in the 9yrs I've had the van. It has two angled joints which are fused/melted together. Did you buy it or make it? I didn't make it. It was on the van when I bought it. It is homemade though and isn't hard to do I'll post a couple of pics up...

Aidan on here is the gearbox specialist but hes usually very busy, as youd expect. If you get stuck have a word with Malc here. Rebuilds gearboxes, happy with the 3h he supplied me with He also comes out and fits it if necessary, about £300ish.

There are 2 coolant temp senders on my aaz. One is for temp gauge.
Look like this

Have you checked the wiring ro the coolant temp senders or the temp senders themselves.?
