    Coolant leak from back hose coolant tank

    Cracked tank is certainly a possibility. Only leaks when engine is running. How should the hose be routed then? I didn't adjust that hose routing . It's been that way for a long time and that line running to the throttle body is not very flexible so not sure how big of an adjustment I could...

    Coolant - Disco 2

    This leak has me confounded. Can't see any fluids on the ground nor in engine compartment. I don't have a pressure tester. Overflow tank has been low. I filled up to cold level. Son drives to school on secondary roads about 20 miles round trip. Coolant level drops only after a few days...

    D2 Drive Belt Tensioner And Idler Pulley Kit

    Water pump done at 105K miles so hopefully that's not the culprit. I have 135K on the truck now. Was done back in 2008 so not sure if time is a factor. Still can't find the torque settings in Rave manual. Saw a you tube video of the process. Stated 37lbs for both the idler pulley bolts and...

    what is this and why is it smoking ?

    couldn't tell if there was coolant in the oil. It looked clean. Not sure how to tell that. On the other hand the coolant level is a little low so it maybe leaking Truck starts fine and idles fine. After driving for just a few minutes is when the sputtering starts.

    what is this and why is it smoking ?

    don't have a code reader so not yet. Any recommendations for a cheap one ? Shaft hasn't been greased lately but haven't ruled out fluids leaking from somewhere which may be affecting the emissions.

    Leaking Brake Master Cylinder On Discovery Series II

    I am guessing once you run the ABS and then bleed again it would get any remaining air out. I finished the job and my pedal is pretty decent. 1. I swapped out the master cylinder and filled with fluid. 2. Waited for it to start seeping out before reconnecting the brake lines. Just...
