    When I last had a gearbox fault I found the battery was dying. Usually throws up a few weird faults if you have a battery on the way out...

    Cheers

    That is a normal temp range, Did it come down pretty fast off idle? back down to 95c.
    Around 95c id normal with these engines.

    As noted though dont let them boil, ie keep all your hoses, water pump, radiator in tip top order. 50/50 coolant.

    Keithy, funilly enough i have had some issues with the rear battery, i think the battery has had a hard life and never received full charge as its only getting around 13.8v max from the alternator back there, i will have to check my start battery and alternator voltage out, i figured the low reading was because of the poor setup the previous owner had rigged up for charging the battery, its a shame to as its a decent optima battery and it might be beyond fixable as with even a decent charge from a multistage 20amp charger its struggled to run the little ARB fridge for more then a few hours.

    RR p38, yes it comes down to 90-95 as soon as its moving again, which i figured was normal temps.
