need help with coolant leak

<< < (3/4) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
If you have a ramp-gearbox out and if you don't then engine out, slightly safer and not much difference in the amount of work.

Then it's flywheel off and flywheel housing off, at which point you can see the core plug.

Pull it out with a self-taping screw and a crowbar, hammer a new one in with some sealant round it

rebuild the engine and refit

I think theres a core plug at the back of the head facing the bulkhead which would send water on top of the bell housing. Easy job to do if you can get to them,cost about a quid each and a spot of lock tight. Had that one go on my series,just cut a hole in the  bulk head and made a new panel to fit.

The Electrician:
How lucky was that..............

........There I was all ready to take the engine out to get at this rear core plug (BTW it is above the bellhousing on rear of block) and as I removed the exhaust manifold to make the engine as small as possible, so I would have some room to move........The centre core plug had fell out (probably the extreme cold) and with the manifold and turbo removed it was easy to fit, with the lump in place.

the only down side is that I shelled out £165 on a engine crane that I could have done without spending.

still it's all back together, and working.

While I've got your attention.....Is there anything I need to do to the turbo or just put it back and forget it.

Cheers
Gary.

Range Rover Blues:
I'd clean it out with a toothbrush and WD40.

bogie:
As you own a landy you havnt wasted your money on an hoist,you have just spent it early in preparation for things to come! BELEIVE!!!!!
