  1. Thanks for everybody's advice How do I get to the fuel pump - Have heard that you need to cut a hole in the rear floor but only seen measurements for a 90 - mines a 110 Thanks again Simon
  2. Thanks - have noted that pump is noisy when you turn the ignition on. Also noticed a whirring noise from engine (something spinning) after engine is turned off. Continues for a while may be 30 seconds - any ideas?
  3. My Td5 110 (1999) will only do 70 - 75mph (in 5th) when it reaches this speed there is a slight juddering - almost like a missfire on a petrol engine have replaced air filter - no change. any ideas?
  4. Fitted new sender - PRC8593, still got same problem. Pretty sure not really overheating as never goes beyond rhs of right band and rad/ thermostat/water pump all new. Car first registered december '09, not sure of original engine (but assume petrol as has choke pull under dash) but now has 200tdi from Disco. Any ideas??
  5. Thanks everyone Rad replaced, which seems to have stopped fan coming on all the time. Guage still at rhs of white band - have ordered new sender unit as advised. Simon
  6. Have also been told that PRC2505 (with adaptor ERC 8973), rather than prc 8593 should be used. Does it depend on what engine was originally in car - think it was petrol as car still has choke pull. Advice on which thermostat 88 or 82 would also be appreciated, as well as wher to put the therm switch for the fan - some say bottom hose / others top? Thanks
  7. Dave Are you using a 82 degree thermostat? Thanks simon
  8. Just bought a 110 (K reg) fitted with a disco 200tdi engine. Runs well, but temp gauge quicly moves up to rhs of white band (but not quite into red). Electric fan then cuts in and runs most of time whilst engine running. Radiator and water pump appear OK. Have noted that has 88 thermostat (correct according to LR). Has also got electric fan (Bosch) on relay and thermostatic switch fitted in radiator top hose - not sure of source of switch, but has '90' stamped on it. Understand that incorrect temp guage readings are common on disco engines conversions, but more concerned re elec fan running all the time. If '90' relates to temp when switch activates - is this not too close to 88 when thermostat opens? If so, where can I get another thermostatic switch? also can I get a suitable sender unit to match temp guage - think car was originally petrol as has choke pull under dash. thanks
