  1. Off ebay, just look where it tells you who the manufacturer is on the add πŸ‘
  2. Sorry its took so long as been trying a few more thermostats and i think i've just cracked it managed to get hold of a WAXSTAT one the other week and just got round to fitting and trying it and just been on a long motorway run today with heater on full blast the whole 60 mile round trip just to see what it does and the heater never missed a beat, the gauge still fluctuates when say coming off at a junction but only slightly and nothing like it was so i'm well chuffed 😁
  3. Hi guys Thought that would wake you all up πŸ˜ƒ
  4. Yeah will probably go for an inverter one πŸ‘
  5. Yeah i just have an electric fan that i never use really
  6. Thats interesting, i did consider partially covering the grill but decided against it
  7. I'm in the middle of ordering a load of thermostats and just wondered if a 300tdi thermostat would work as all i can see is they have a rubber seal
  8. Defender 200tdi engine ( dressed as a Disco 200tdi engine ) 200tdi rad and Defender 200tdi header tank
  9. My last 2a i converted to a tdi had the round smiths heater and it was always toastie using the 88Β° tdi thermostate same rad setup
  10. Yeah i gathered that, looking at different makes and not really bothered on price, just want get it sorted now
  11. Ok i mite order a few different make ones and see how i get on
  12. Why, the heater works but seems to loose heat whilst driving
  13. My cooling fan switch lights up when the fan is switched on but when driving and the fan switched off the switch lights up so i'm assuming the fan is freewheeling then when you come to a stop you can see the switch getting dimmer as the fan slows down then once it stops the light on the switch goes out, so was thinking it could be overcooling
  14. Right i've recently had the engine out to fit a LOF clutch assy so whilst it was out i replace the thermostat again this time for a Gates one, the others have been a mixture of britpart and allmakes ones but its still doing it and the gauge still reads the same, so i'm now thinking its my electric fan over cooling it ( free wheeling ) but i will remove it completely to test it but obviously keep it with me just incase then decide what to do next as i'm not sure if you can buy a fan that doesn't free wheel
  15. Hi guys Son wants to get into tig welding diy stuff, so the question is what's the best starter tig welder to get please
  16. Got to giving it a decent road test did about 40 miles out in the country climbing steep hills and stuff and it just performed great, boosts at 1.4 but couldn't read the EGT gauge very well as for some reason the gauge is lite up blue with an orange needle but for some reason the needle wouldn't light up so need to sort that now 😩
  17. Sorry i'm old school and not sure how to do links ☺️ But basicly a Falcon hybrid turbo with Mamba actuator kit comes with loads of different springs and rods
