Re: 93 Escudo auto no spark
Have you tried bypassing the key barrel ?
Key start signal to the ECU might be intermittent .
I would also be checking he engine wiring harness for shorts to ground .

Re: Oil catch can question
The factory oil seperator cyclone system on the landrover 2.25 turbo diesel Drians back to the sump without the use of a one way valve .
But is plumbed in below the oil line in the sump to prevent sump pressurisation or oil blow back up the drain line . Seeems to work ok .

Re: X5 Project.
So if your rope normally gets bunched up are you not concerned with the minimal clearance between the winch and the fan?
Nice fab work , but the winch / fan clearance is a red flag for me as with even a slight even rap of the rope it's going to hit / break the plastic fan

One is the temp sender the other should be a temp switch for the AC fan One should short to ground at a certain temp the other should change impedance ( decrease ohms ) as the temperature rises. From memory the vitae's uses a different impedance range to the SJ and most use the SJ sender to get full...

Re: Rear fan trigger points, max coolant running temp.
With the AU Fans you can wire them up with 3 relays so that they operate in the factory dual speed configuration. Run in series to go half speed and then switch to parallel for full speed . You then use a dual switch thermo switch like the Tridant TFS214. I run mine with a 3 way switch as well that ...
