TD5 Heater problem.

<< < (2/3) > >>

sulley:
Will check that first then.  I hope I don't need Land Rover specific stuff to top it up like I do for the PAS/ACe unit!! :lol:

Sully,

Not sure where the thermostat is on a TD5... but on V8's it's right at the front of the block, with the top radiator hose going into it...

Three bolts, a paper gasket and a li'l dinky tin thermostat. The bolts can be a bit of a b*gger to get back in but not a huge problem.

The other advice about coolant level is important as well. Check the coolant level first, monitor the loss, find the leak (if appropriate!).

Good luck

Skibum
