Just wondering if you managed this without taking out the rad. Having just replaced the thermostat with the rad out it I remember it wasn't much fun wrangling the three pipes onto the unit in the massive space available......with rad in place would be rather more of a wriggle. I saw some other setup (might have been a BMW) where the same thermostat was fitted alongside the rad presumably with lengthened hoses and 100% accessible. I wonder if our D2s could be adapted?

Even tho the TD5 and V8 models have similar setups(with the thermostat type), the V8 is a bit easier with the rad in situ.
Obviously a lot easier .. in face very easy! .. with the radiator out in the V8.

Brothers TD5 hasn't needed a thermostat change, but you TD5 guys have close proximity issues to tensioner and alternator to deal with too.
We did brothers waterpump last week, and fuel cooler seals, and I remember looking down at the thermostat thinking .. bit of a PITA .. but maybe not so bad if attacked from underneath.

the orientation of the thermostat is another difference between the two motors.

with your help LOL

Just found the LH rear hub seal leaking.

Hopefully it's just a blocked breather.
Yes, that's very wishful thinking.....

Buy genuine hubs as aftermarket dont last...ask me how I know😐

How do u know?

Cause i have replaced 2 with aftermarket n they lasted only a couple years b 4 the 3 amigos came back whereas the gen one i put on 5 years ago shows no faults...yet. The aftermarket units oil seals failed contaminating the sensor.

I am going to gen for all parts now since aftermarket units don't last eg fuel pressure reg sold out of Tas failed after 1 year then next one after 6 months. Also had issues also with Repco oil filters non gen abs sensors non-Garret turbo and so on.

Poor man buys twice I guess☺
