RRC 300 TDI retrofit cooling questions

<< < (2/7) > >>

PoPrivit:
this is what i am going to try but due to the size a weight its not easy. :?

Range Rover Blues:
I don't understand your problem, you have a 300TDi, from where, a Disco? and you put it into a RRC.  These are the same car, what is stopping you putting the header tank in the same place on the Rangie as on the Disco, behind the battery?

Anyway, have you tried bleeding the system at all the high point by either loosening a hose or half-removing the filler caps when the engine is hot and under pressure?

PoPrivit:
Many thanks for the patronising response Range Rover Blues.

My question was not the position of the header tank :shock:  as this is behind the battery :roll: . However the disco has a greater depth from the top of the wing to the top of the inner wing and this could allow the tank to sit closer to the level of the top vent. The tank on the 200 disco is as you say behind the battery but on the 300 it was relocated to sit parallel to the engine.

The real issue is the difference in height from the water level in the tank and the top vent / thermostat housing on the engine. I am having problems with keeping water in the top hose and even with careful filling and venting the air returns.
 :cry:

That’s why i asked for someone with a disco 300 tdi to pop and have a look at the difference in the height from the water in the tank and the top vent

Don't take this the wrong way but don't assume that i'm thick just because im asking others for some advice and if you can’t be helpful then keep your comments to yourself please. :x

Ps thanks to everyone else for your help. :D

cheers rich

Range Rover Blues:
Well I was going to offer to take 'photos of my FACTORY BUILT RRC 300TDi, assuming you have the Disco engine and NOT the Defender engine.  But as my help is not appreciated.........

PoPrivit:
Ah well you help would be appreciated but your tone did not indicate help.

I would not expect any further help but i will offer my apology if i offended.

I am on my 2nd head gasket in 1200 miles :( so i'm a bit grumpy at the moment and i have tried all the obvious stuff already.:)

if you decide to help then it would be most welcome if not then thanks anyway.

rich :) :) :)
