Check the temperature of the two pipes that feed the front heater matrix, if they are both cool to the touch, when one should be hot/warm then it might be the thermostat, but that would normally also cause the meter to read lower than normal, not the 11 Oclock position.
Also check that the adjuster ...

Yes definitely a clearance engine, someone on the forum did check the piston head level when the heads were removed to prove it.

The hot water from the engine should always be flowing thru the heater matrix, and the amount of hot air is controlled by the flaps. Most common cause is the heater matrix being blocked as it has very fine tubes, when you flushed it did you get a good water flow in both directions. The only other ...

Indeed and lets hope many more!

Ah not quite sure what happened there try this;

Unless your new device can handle the Japanese version of NTSC (not American version) then it may have problems with the correct Black level as they differ also a different colour temperature so colours may be a little skewed! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC-J for details.
Can't help with the ...

Oh that's good I have a copy of the image files, but not the actual database to drive them, which overlays the the information and parts numbers on top of the basic picture.

I think in the diesel, the w/p is built in? In which case you will loose most if not all the coolant, but I've only a V6 to look at! Try a search on the forum to find out!

There are quite a few topics on the subject see this search search.php?keywords=diesel+alternator+belts

Most choose a 5W-30 based oil, the original specs are linked below for all consumables;

The old Diagnostics page that Phil McFadden ran has gone from the web, fortunately the WayBackMachine has preserved a copy which I have brought down to my pages available here;

I guess we also need to think about the LushProject pages ......

Ah good to hear! Glad its worked out well for you.

Yes drop out the glovebox, then worm up and under, cover as I recall is one maybe two screws then you can see if its actually rotating the spindle;
picture attached shows the one that snapped off!

First if the Thermostat was stuck closed then you would find that you would be overheating, provided you took it for a decent run! If the the thermostat as stuck fully open then normally you will find that the temperature stays quite low even after a good run (greater than 20 minutes say). However ...

The diagrams for the ECU's were never completed, the boards became multi-layer and there were lots of versions released with no documentation as to changes available :-( The general wiring diagrams are still available in Flash format and there are still browsers available which will display them see ...
