If you blank it off you will destroy your gearbox . An oil cooler is essential for the auto transmission . Regards Jonathan

STIG FASTNERS in Darlington they have a website www.a2stainless.co.uk . They do all sorts of stainless stuff and he goes to all the Land Rover shows etc ,and he will sell individual bolts etc Regards Jonathan

Thanks very much for the info . Regards Jonathan

Does any one know if alloy wheels from a 1998 Discovery 300 Tdi fit a 52 plate TD5 110 . Thanks Jonathan

It is the coolant temperature sensor for the EDC system . regards Jonathan

Does it do it with the engine off , if so it could be your master cylinder . With the engine running the brake pedal can be depressed slowly father than with the engine off but it should not go all the way to the floor . It sound as if a seal/valve is passing in the master cylinder . Regards Jonathan

Please find a picture of the correct way to fit the Pro Comp washers taken from the manufactures brochure as I described in an earlier post . Please check other peoples cars especially those ones that are are still in original condition or modified by a true Professional and you will find them as I have said and as in the picture . Regards Jonathan

img 5618 is correct, RHS , with the cone inwards towards the bushes . Regards Jonathan

The second temperature switch in the thermostat elbow is to switch off the air con when the engine is starting to over heat so the car does not have to work so hard trying to cool the engine's radiator with the warm / hot air that comes from the air con. condensor. The system should hold 900 g +/- 50 g and 180 ml of oil . Regards Jonathan

Yes you are correct with the front exciter ring but on the rear the exciter ring is bolted via very small studs to the rear disc. You do not touch the sensors as they fit in what is left of the hub after you remove the disc.( front and rear ). The sensor has nothing to do with the caliper. For the front just unbolt the two bots holding the caliper on and after unbolting the disc and replacing the disc with a vented one you just bolt on the bigger 110 caliper on disc . I also checked/replaced and repacked the bearings as I went on and used new bolts as the old were corroded.Sorry I forgot to say I actually changed both front and rear discs at the same time as the rear were past it , hence some confusion .quote I did not have to touch the sensors at all . If I remember correctly I only had to transfer the exciter ring from the old disc to the new one, and I think it was for the rear pair only. You probably are only doing the front so no need to worry about it I should have not mentioned the rear at all . Regards Jonathan

Sounds like you have got it sorted , well done , Regards Jonathan

Be carefull if you buy second hand sensors they can be damaged various ways during the removal process if not done carefully. A new one could be your best bet here. You can get them from most supliers on the internet for approx £65 to £95 Make sure you have cleared any codes in the ECU and get the warning light to flash correctly once , and take it for a test drive and double check what faults you get a couple of times, deleting them all before each test. Adam has the manufactures maintenance manual with all the fault codes so you should end up with one or two codes all pointing to the same sensor. The front sensors seem to get damaged more often than the rears , probably due to the steering exposing the wires to stretching( especially on cars with lifted suspension ) and off road hazards ie rocks and sticks. Regards Jonathan

I had a very similar problem and eventually I replaced the PAS pump with a new Genuine one and sorted it. Try bleeding some fluid off the steering box and when someone else is turning the steering wheelback and forth with the engine running. This will bleed any trapped air . If you are getting full pressure you will have a very significant blast of oil out of the bleed nipple if you open it too far . Be very carefull ( or you can get a garage to pressure test the system.) Regards Jonathan

Not sure if my previous post worked so Try this link to a 38 page maintenance manual www.meritorhvs.com/MeritorHVS_Documents/mm38.pdf Regards Jonathan
