So you will be the one with the trailer load of spare parts :wink:

...... Says the man with a millon things wrong with his Zuk :oops:

jdeburgh · Post by **jdeburgh** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:43 am

No, the trailer needs registered, so I'll just have to hope for the best!

Mind you, as per your comment, maybe you Zuk chaps need to bring a truck load of spares your self?

I don't reallyb want to break anything else right now, no money this time of year!

John

Lets hope this rain keeps up to make things a bit more slippier, that way I may not break any diffs this weekend.

Any pics?...who broke what etc???

Cloggy_NZ · Post by **Cloggy_NZ** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 6:03 am

Another Discovery blew its rear diff, exactly the same as mine last week, same hill etc. Glenn Williams from CCVC.
Other than that there were a couple of overheating problems but no major dramas. Despite it being dry I still managed to take about half a tonne of mud home. I had fun, thats for sure

Mr o i have the same overheating problem as you, in that the coolant gets pushed to the catch bottle but the rad does not suck the coolant back when it cools this has to be an air leak in the system some where.

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 6:42 am

Airleak in the overflow bottle pipe?

The pipe going into the overflow bottle has to be below the level of fluid in the overflow bottle, otherwise there will be no sucky.
Rather than going in through the top of the bottle it also works a lot better if the fluid is pushed in, and then sucked out again, through a fitting in the bottom of the overflow bottle.
