Not had a chance to work it out yet, as soon as I've done the maths I'll let you know

That's just it, the larger of the two hoses gets slightly warm and the smaller not at all. It was a real pleasure to drive, in fact a more relaxed drive than my company VW T5. We had intended to get her just for this trip but have now decided to keep the Freda and sell the rest of the fleet. At leas...

Morning all, Well after a very successful trip to the Alps and back where Freda performed brilliantly, 8 people, 15 pairs of skis and all the associated gubbins that goes with a ski trip and not a single issue. One question that keeps coming back to me is that the expansion tank rarely get hot and a...

Hi All, the chap that is sorting out the small leak on injector 2 is trying to source these but Mazda have given him 3 options.

I did manage to replace the elbow with a 3 pipe one and bled the system using the see saw method, man that can take a time especially with the help of a 5 year old, but nether the less got it done with no more bubbles coming up.

Evening all As I will be taking the Freda on a 2000 mile journey in just over a week I have decided on a belt and braces approach to the cooling system as I have been reading lots of horror stories. I am going to do a complete system flush and refill, replace the thermostat and expansion/rad caps wi...

All sorted now, I used the Intermotor 52551 part from my local motor factors and everything working.

Thanks for the top tip Simon

Evening all Has anyone any experience of the Lucas temp sender for the temp gauge as mine in knackered but need to get it replaced tomorrow so was thinking of going to my local motor factors to get one. Alternatively I could go to Ford parts and see if they have one for the ranger head as the neares...

You guys are great, thanks for all your help.
