Re: Td27 temps

Huh, old thread. I was having brake problems at the time and the rear brakes were gripping due to being supplied the wrong brake master cylinder so the engine was working a lot harder than it needed to at 100km. She's now running between 92-95 open road. Still need to replace coolant as its real old...

Re: D21 rear brake issues

You didnt get a master cylinder for a rear drum brake terrano or navara by accident? They have a residual pressure valve in the rear circuit to maintain a little pressure in the drum brake circuit. This will prevent the callipers returning correctly. Good question that. Though I got the master cyli...

Re: D21 rear brake issues

Bled Correctly (up until recently was apprentice in motor trade). No blockages as it bled up fine. The previous master cylinder bust a seal, no corrosion. No proportioning valve. No vacuum leaks that I've noticed. No movement in wheel bearings and when rear rotors are removed can easily spin the axl...

Re: D21 rear brake issues

Ok so adjusting the freeboard in the pedal seemed to work but turns out it didn't. Still a lot of drag on the brakes! I tried adjusting the brake booster pushrod (nearly at min adjust) and has helped a little more but I'm still not happy. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Getting pretty ...

Worked a treat in the end, thanks. Still getting a bit hot at the rear end but presuming the wheel bearings are fried.
Just another job to add to the list.

Re: Td27 temps

Sender is in the top hose.
It's just a cheap from super cheap.
Hot afternoon and went for another open road run into the steaming N/W wind and it stayed steady at about 100*.
Might use that as the benchmark and button off if it gets much higher than that.

Good point! I never thought of that! :oops:

Re: Td27 temps

Interesting. First run up the motorway and it got up to between 95-98* peaking at about 100* momentarily, the factory gauge was reading about 1/3-1/2. Back down to 85-90* at idle/town speeds and 1/4 on factory gauge. It's an el-cheapo electronic gauge and the red area starts at 100* so was unsure if...

Hi all.
I've just installed a water temp gauge and just wondering what temps people notice on standard/modified td27t at 100km. What's normal, what's the danger zone etc

D21 rear brake issues

Hi there. I'm having some issues with the rear brakes grabbing and wearing the pads prematurely (i.e. 6 months), plus creating a lot of heat which I'm sure isn't great for the wheel bearings.. I did a rear calliper rebuild not long ago, checked it all out last night while replacing the pads and the ...

Or any leads to find some? Have rung around and nobody seems to have any.

Re: R50 buying

I was thinking about going down the R20 route but like both the exterior and interior shape of the R50 better.
Lack of ladder chassis isn't really an issue for me this time round as I'm not going to modify this one. Will be getting a second vehicle for that.

Hi all. I'm considering trading my D21 Terrano up to an R50 but am unsure whether to go with TD27eti or QD32eti. Will be used as daily/fishing/snowboarding vehicle so no proper offroad use.
