Thread: Maximum temperature for DII V8

It would be fantastic if it was rust resistant as it penetrates beautifully! LRT

True,, but it only needs to cover the underside up till the transfer case--
then,
The normal Land Rover underbody oil coating takes over

Self rust protection! You wont get that with any other brand vehicle! LRT

Old thread but a goodie. Couldnt get a straight answer from RAVE...when does the electric thermo fan cut in on a v8 as part of the ECU idle cooling 'strategy'? Any tips on trouble shooting a fan that is not coming on - fuse, relay anything else short of replacing fan?

Cheers

Cheers,

does it come on when the aircon is turned on.

guage is "normal" from about 75 - 115 then moves rapidly up.

Cheers mate

Just to update this thread. I have using a cooler thermostat. I also had the leccy fan hooked up so that it comes on every time the AC compressor cuts in - this taken the decision away from the tricky criteria that the computer has imbedded.

With a cooler thermostat it actualy runs cooler around town - 85-87 than on the highway up hills in 5th at 100 - then it creeps up to 90 degrees and then back down to 87 on the flat. I just towed 1.5 tonns yesterday in 33 degree heat and up hills it got to 91.

I am happy with that. I still have plenty of scope. With 2 tonns on the back I suspect on high 30's days up long hills it might creep up to mid to high 90's, but that is very good compared to the previous temps using the stock stat.

Cheers
