I have also fitted a sink

These get fitted to the exterior of trucks so pretty tough things, it has a heating element in it but it's 24v, we wired one up to 12v today and it still heated the water, and it's got a voltage sensitive relay in it that turns it on at 13.something volts and off at 12.something volts, even though it's a 24v unit.
I haven't wired it yet though.
I've put it where the tool kit went.

The bloody thing has broken down

terranosaurusdoug · 23-03-2021, 00:00

Well, its bloody broken, injector pump is completely knackered, I've just ordered a 2nd hand one for £850.

Took me about six weeks to break it, just driving normally. It took six years of ABUSE to kill the Terrano

Bosch or Zexel. AH sorry thought you were talking Terrano, Rick

Sounds like a right pain in the arse.
Was it a mk3 like mine??

panelbeater · 25-03-2021, 10:01

n reg what mark that is i do not know.he had a intermittent ip leak but he ran through brake fluid and that seamed to have swollen the seal and stop the leak for a long while then it would do it again so another dose.his main problem was towing up hills as the temp would rise,he did everything to stop it and finally did,he had it 10 years.

I think that is mk2, I think they were known for those sorts of problems, especially head gasket.

A second hand ip has arrived at mine today so I will get it tested and set to TDC.

Barrbeast · 27-03-2021, 01:07

Yeh that'll have been a mk2.

2.8 were the ones that were meant to have head problems but tbf mine was a 2.8 and she put up with some abuse and never caused too much bother - although I was always quick to fix the few wee issues and there weren't many, alternator and water pump were all in 2.5 years of dailying

panelbeater · 28-03-2021, 17:16

no water cooled egr on mk2 water cooled egr on mk3 solved the problem.
