    advice on rebuilding salisbury and a few other issues

    well just returned home from a 6000km trip to Cape Levique and back down the coast in our 130 had a few small issues I need help with:
    1 - vehicle wont shut off via key or removing power to solenoid(had to stall engine) so i will remove and clean or replace easy fix

    2 - I seem to have poor power at top end I cannot seem to reach and hold 100km/hr on the flat even worse with headwind and hills 4th gear 80km/hr mostly especially towing my CT if I change to 5th just drop back in speed to 79km/hr and i change back down. the engine is a 300tdi with 370000km on clock does not use much oil(mainly loss due to leaky oil lines and maybe intake manifold gasket) and does not blow much smoke if any and I run 255/85/16.I have tried playing with fuel pump to no noticeable increase in power or smoke but EGT's increased to 560c on hills in 4th

    3 - cracked coolant bottle(easy fix)

    4 - THE BIGGIE I blew the diff (or something in it) whilst out at ningaloo station in soft sand drive shaft spins but just grinds. I removed drive shaft and my md axles and drove home a nervous 1000km in front wheel drive with diff lock engaged(yes towing camper trailer) so i guess i just want to know the best setup thinking detroit locker and what ever else i find once removed from car and open up

    other than that a great trip and the first in the 130 with camper trailer (would just love to sit on 100km or 110 with ease . used about 14-16L/100km worst was definitely coming home in front wheel drive(not great but happy with consumption given I came out of a D2 4.6)

    If cleaning the solenoid doesn't fix the issue it may be a fault with your fuel pump. I've seen it several times before (on machinery) where internal leakage will allow the engine to run on. The lack of power could be caused by the same problem

    Best of luck with it all

    the gurus will follow....

    did you notice a spike in temp? you say crack in expansion bottle, how much loss? Im thinking maybe head gasket..... do you have the OEM LR temp gauge?

    Personally, I would go a ARB locker if any. (Ashcroft dont do a Sals at this Stage...DAVE are you reading this )

    Fully strip the axle down and check if fragments have made there way into the ends...check both axles and each ends for spline damage...at this stage it wont hurt to install new seals and obviously check bearings. Run your bearings in oil rather than grease if they arent already...

    dont stress, more knowledgeable help will be along soon

    Uninformed I did not notice any spike in temp I have a madman fitted with coolant temp and low coolant alarm. It seems to be leaking from just above the weld join through middle of tank once gests below crack line I haven't noticed and other loss of fluid. I assumed it was caused due to heavy corragations but could a head gasket cause this crack with pressure.

    I bought car at auction so am unsure of cars past history

    if it is the black plastic type expansion bottle, these are known to fail/crack/split...you can replace with a LR item same, but white/opaque..

    I fixed my expansion tank seam leak by digging a 100mm long 'trench' along the leaking seam to a depth of about 5mm using a medium size soldering iron. I then used black cable tie off cuts (same sort of plastic) as 'filler rod' to fill the 'trench'. I then folded the sides of the trench over using the soldering iron and flattened the plastic out. Next I tightened a long stainless steel cable tie around the centre of the tank to stop the tank flexing. Hasn't leaked since.



    Don't know how long it will last for, but a good 'bush fix'.

    A good bush fix, but a new one doesn't cost much and will give you much more peace of mind.

    Any chance you could post up pictures of the broken Salisbury.
    Never seen one that's all?
    Did it have oil?
