  1. Try this then mate... http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=41022
  2. Here ya go... https://facebook.com/red7autoengineering/
  3. compression ratio is worked out from the volume of the cylinder (for this example we're omitting the volume of the combustion chamber in the head) Work out the cylinder volume of one cylinder at BDC then again at TDC (Calculate from bore Ø x stroke) the difference calculates to the compression ratio. Work out again but subtract the 0.2mm from the stroke. this will then show you the difference.
  4. These fit my Zero and slightly (lots) cheaper... http://www.paddockspares.com/ntc8478-steering-shaft-including-ujs.html
  5. Have a rummage in here mate... There's also a couple of nice pics of a chassis mod i did to make the bottom hose a really simple and protected fit. http://s575.photobucket.com/user/shaft_Zero/media/Zero%20build%20pics%20part%20IV/SSL22697.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
  6. I did, worked a treat. Also fitted a restraining strap to stop it hitting the floor. I used a strip of piano hinge at the bottom. This is preferable to a couple of "normal" hinges as it adds support all the way across.
  7. I don't think he ever did it Dan? Sure he went Duratec or similar?

    The answer is "that's not a question you should be asking on a public forum" as the answer will be no, you can't.
  9. Depends what you mean by "Mount it?"
  10. Excellent news! Really pleased for them both!

    Evening Nik, be very careful just replacing the head gasket as these TD5 Cylinder heads are prone to minute cracks etc that you can't see. It's a false economy in my opinion to not have it pressure tested and a quick minimal amount skim. The "Hole" gaskets you mention denote the thickness of the gasket. See here for some good literature: http://workshop-manuals.com/landrover/defendertd5/engine/cylinder_head_gasket_selection/ Also, whilst you've got the head off you'd may as well re lap the valves in and clean out the ports from the years of EGR valve gremlins and badness. It's a simple job to do albeit time consuming.

    They're aluminium so highly prone to warping if over heated but fingers crossed it isn't. Once removed you'd check it anyway at the least and go from there.

    Bolts

    Are they nut and bolt Tim? If so you'll get away with 3/8" UNF (9.525mm) as the prop face dia usually ensures concentricity with the diff. I have some if you go this route.

    Another problem , rarer but not uncommon, on the TD5 is the water pump impeller can shear internally from its drive shaft.

    As 2B says, give it a while and keep a close eye on the temp gauge. As i said earlier in the thread, the sensor is high up and it didn't take much water loss to leave the sensor reading the air temperature not water.

    Evening Nik, sorry but I'm convinced you have head gasket failure between a water way and a combustion chamber. I base this on experience of it being a common problem but worry not, it's a simple enough job albeit the head itself is a 2 man lift! Check out this link I've dug out and have a study. It's for a Defender but the set up is identical albeit some routings of pipes will be different. I have a genuine Landrover workshop manual so if you decide to give it a go drop me a PM and I'll email you the relevant PDF's. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-tutorials/66259-td5-cylinder-head-removal-how.html

    It's a normal right hand thread. Shock it loose with a quick sharp blow on the spanner with a lump hammer.

    I too agree with 2B cruising above but with the addition of.... due to the high position of the temp sender during a low water scenario the sensors 'bulb' is no longer in the water flow and can give a false reading to the ecu thus no limp mode signal from the ecu. Modern is good until fault diagnosis time.

    The electric fan is controlled by the ECU which is given it's relevant data from the temp sensor. As a matter of interest, with the engine cold, go to start it and see how long the glow plug light stays on for, if it's a short time compared to normal when cold then the ECU thinks the engine is already warm so goes some way to diagnosing a faulty temp sender perhaps.

    You'll love the diesel bleeding on the TD5.... it does it itself which you activate with a sequence using the ignition key.

    The TD5 set up is rather unique in the way it works as opposed to "historic basic function". There are actually 2 thermostats, one in the hose in its own sealed plastic housing with 3 pipes connected and another that controls flow of coolant around the fuel return cooler. If you need any documentation to aid bleeding etc I can email some pdf's from my Factory maintenence / service manual.

    Head gasket, I'd put money on it. The water gets steamed out the exhaust, favourite place on the TD5 when they go. The temp sensor is in the triangular shaped hose connector, top of the engine under the decorative cover. It's a Euro multi plug as it talks to the ecu to control temp gauge, fueling, glow plug timing and electric fan. HTH.
  23. Google "Big Head Fasteners" Craig, these are designed to do exactly what Longboarder mentions above.

    Raise the header tank to aid bleeding, it's designed to lift out to facilitate this.
