Got things moving again! :cool: Had to remove the radiator, and the fan but after a bit of grease and moving stuff around it started to come loose again. We will see how long stuff will keep on going, if it fails again I'm also thinking about replacing it with a bit more modern cooling.

Superb indeed! :clap

Thinking about this, with a working coupling the fan should stop turning when the right temperature is reached? Because I've never seen my fan doing this, it is always turning and never standing still with a running engine. On the 3 litre the coupling can be swapped as far as I know...

Thanks! Gonna start over there since the relays is new and it started after testing the trailer lights the last time.

That is a good point. Maybe gonna trying to heat it when the truck is in the shed and see what happens. I think consumption is up a bit, but not completely sure. The engine does heat up as quickly as it always does. After 16 years the coupling could be worn out. When the engine is turned off...

But the oil should warm up after more then 30 miles or doesn't that make a difference? In the previous winters it didn't made this sound. The 3 litre is a great engine, as far as my history with 4 cilinder diesels goes this is the one I prefer te most :)

Finally gonna have a look this saturday, planned some free time so finally we are going to fix this.

Morning guys, Since a day or 2 the 3 litre is making an extra sound while climbing the revs. First it started going ocasionaly, but now it is constant and starting to get anoying. Best way to discribe it is like a big V8 diesel. This morning on my way to work I made a short video...

Nog yet, in the end I didn't had the time today to check it. Hopefully later this week. One of the things I did manage to do was cleaning the shed so I can work on the truck again instead of working on it on the driveway.

Gonna have a look tomorrow checking that. Thanks!

Since 2 weeks the rear foglight is failing. So far replaced the bulb and put a new relais (the big blue one) in to check if the old one was faulty. Any other thoughts? Think it happened since the last time with the trailer behind the car and checking the foglights of the trailer.

Last weekend I swapped for my 2nd new stereo and again no problems with the NATS system

After the old radio died a couple of weeks ago it was time for some new incar entertainment: Same radio as I put into the Focus last year, nothing really fancy but gives a good clear sound and does support bluetooth.

Looking forward to it as well!!!

That explains :) On another story, the dog and I went on a small "adventure" :cool: In the Ford Focus he starts puking, but in the Terrano the little men looks in front and doesn't get sick even when the road gets a bit rough.

At first site I was thinking he was doing something else then welding on this picture, but you guys are right. Hoping for the guy he doesn't do al his jobs like this.

Wish I had the welding skills, but stil very happy the guy who did it has those skills :cool:

Well it took some time, but since last week the truck is back allive! :cool: Some pictures they send me while working on it: Passenger side rebuilt: On the driver side they managed with welding a crack in the chassis. Took them 1, day to do and the finished product looks like this from...

Removed the front shaft and take the truck out for a drive. If the problems are gone, problem found :) Had the same with mine and checked it like this. Only 8 bolts holding it in place.

I think people do indeed. Altough this might not be the easiest solution I think it is the best one. Got the rest of the truck almost like I want it to be and it drives and towes well so why change it? For now I have the underside protection waiting: Gonna spraypaint it on with the...
