Not an easy task on a td42ti wagon.
Wonderful. HAs this got anything to do with the box Darren had to attack with a cold chisel a little while ago ? Or is it a separate item all together that works in conjunction with the cut of solenoid?Quote:

The other thing is the ignition barrels can get a little sticky and cause the same effect.
Just picked her up, thanks to Mudski for a lift in the beast! Hi flow pump fitted, coolant system fully re-flushed, new hoses, new belts, new thermostat cover bolts.
I mentioned the fuel shut off and the car shutting off longer than usual, but to me it didn't do it this morning, nor did it do it all day in the workshop so, I'll keep an eye out on it in the future.
Just gotta keep tabs on the coolant next few days and maybe top up as it settles.
Ok so the bloke told me the coolant will settle a bit and to keep checking, and topping up ,next day or so. Just went for a drive and, engine warm and I need to top up as there is minimal coolant in both of these tanks.
Now I get confused about this CRD and 4.2TDi reservoir and overflow tank setup... And maybe a stupid question but where exactly do you top up? The reservoir tank, the radiator or the overflow ??? I forgot to ask him before I left.

Id cable tie those earth cables to the battery tiedown plate.
No idea mine is always about 500mml away from a full radiator
the one with the yellow cap down the side it has min and maxQuote:

Top radiator up first. Then fill header tank with radiator cap. Only fill the overflow (yellow cap) to the lo mark.Quote:

No. The system on these is much better than the older styles. Last time I just filled mine then topped up after a drive.Quote:

Stop driving it now and sell it for 50k.
So after tons of help and countless advice you've given me on it, you're telling me to sell it? lolQuote:

Yeah. I cant see you losing money in the next 5 years. Once the y61 stops production in the very near future the td42 wagon will either hold steady or rise.
Happy to report positive results so far, from my cooling system make over. Prior to full flush and hi-flow pump, what I like to call "settled" temp was 80-84. Obviously rises under load.
First impressions are, that's now sitting 74-76. Unsure what contributed to this change, pump or the fresh coolant.
But one thing I definitely noticed is how fast the temps fall down now after load. Before they temperature slowly made it's way down to "settled" temperature, now, as soon as load is off the engine, they shoot down much much faster than prior.
From memory, Bloodyaussie noticed this as well after his pump was fitted.
Good to hear you got it supported and are noticing improvements

Yeah mines the same. While my temps are higher than yours due to the extra fuel the temps do come down quite quick. Unless ive been hammering it towing the camper and the temps are really up there they tend to go down slow.

Car just started making horrendous whining noise up front like a dry bearing ??? Really hope it's not the water pump bearing they put in... it's not the belts .

Whats the tension like on the belts?
Does it disappear if you turn the ac off?
A/c idler bearing gets my vote.Quote:

Ok. Belt tension is fine, nice and firm and hasn't changed since I last felt it... AC was off when noise started. But turning aircon on/off made no difference.Quote:

It seems to be coming from the central part of the front of the motor, which is where the pump is... I chanced it and drove it home about 15km's and nothing broke lol. But can't inspect anything now as it's dark and I'd wake up half of the suburb with the noise. People here are pissed off with my straight through exhaust let alone this noise added in the mix....
Will look at it in the morning.
So got home from work and straight away prepped to start taking belts off and turning stuff trying to find where it's coming from... Chose to turn the car on before hand and, the noise is gone ...... Had a good look at belts and pulleys, nothing out of the ordinary.
Warmed up, took her for a drive, air con on / off.... Nothing!! Drove it like I stole it ! Not even a chime of the the cacophony that it had yesterday evening...
Ironically I'm more p'ed off that it's gone, than when it first happened! I hope it returns, so I can find what it is and sort it out...
So just done a 120km turnaround trip and noise did not return ...... :icon_bonk:
This is the second time the car's done something like this to me only for a day...First the fuel cut off solenoid played up for one day and never since and now this . TD42's are self healing overnight :P
Personally I'd still at least take the belts off and give everything a good wobble and spin to see if there is any movement or notching.Quote:

The a/c bearing will make the noise weather the a/c is on or not.
I had a noisy one and took the tension off that belt, till I got around to changing the bearing.
So with the cold weather arriving, the mighty 4.2 gear rattle noise is getting fairly vicious in the morning. I dread driving away from home because it wakes up everybody in the street. Forget the straight through exhaust, this is next level of noise...
Has anybody ever eliminated this ? Mat ? What's your thoughts on this ... Can something be done while the gear box is out when they do the clutch?
Might sound birch but , It's getting really annoying ...

Suspension. Check rear pinion angle. Run a double cardan joint on the rear shaft.
Even going back to standard height will aleviate it.
OK cheers. So if pinion angles are out , via a quick search , the way to correct is the adjustable upper arms ?
The cars been doing this since I picked it up way before it received a lift kit . Can the pinion angle go off track without touching suspension ?

It's a patrol thing mate, from what I've read there's bugger all that can be done.
People have said they can fix it with new "things" in the gearbox, but have then commented that the noise returns within about 10,000km. On the other forum there is talk about using different oils and/or additives in it which can help, search for "gearbox rollover". Lots of theories, not many consistent results unfortunately.
Yeah I was aware it was a Patrol thing, and since I bitched about it after I bought this car in the early days I've since learnt to live with it. Although, it somewhat eased up in warmer months. As I mentioned above it's showed it's ugly head with a whole new level in recent cold weather and it's really bad this time... I'm positive it's gone worse since last winter. May have something to do with the oil change in the gear box...Quote:

Add some Nulon oil treatment to the gearbox. See if it works. I've been using this stuff for probably 20 years. Definitely helps with a box with some age to it. Certainly wont hurt anyway if it doesn't help.

I'll give it a shot Mark. Anything to attempt to remedy this.Quote:

To be honest I dont think you will resolve this. If it is the usual drivetrain chatter, then you just put up with it. Or give it some more berries when you take off. Don't almost stall it, then take off. As with mine the box will chatter like yours if I dont give it a few higher rpm when taking off.
Would be wrong to call this noise "chatter". Best I would describe it is like having tin cans full of nuts and bolts rolling around inside "somewhere" under the car when certain conditions are met like the car labouring under lower revs...
Been reading a lot about the pinion angle and I think Mat is onto something personally.

I dont just say stuff for the sake of it...
Intercooler turned up finally. Now to bolt it up !!

Do Moreys do a gearbox additive suitable for your problem.
Good to see the IC showed up, no dents ???
They do package them well don't they, a few others could learn from them.
Just make sure you cut the hole in the bonnet in the right spot... Don't want to get that wrong.
