Sorry, I haven't posted any updates, been busy, and away on business. And hungover.
Can't remember have update this is? 11? 12? Who cares?
Nearly sorted out the coolant loss. It hasn't lost coolant for probably 2 weeks. I have tech2 plugged in as a temp gauge, coz the one on dash is on another planet. Got some Forte coolant flush to run through it coming, hopefully that will finally fix the cooling.
Fixed the drivers check strap (well Mr DTM did ;))
'Replaced' the atf with LB and M_DTM's help (not much in there to replace)/
Aircon sprung into life itself :y
Replaced Fuel Filter (Well Omegatoy did, and it was on pretty tight), and ran some diesel magic through it.
Retapped sump thread.
To Do:
Need to replace temp gauge, so need to source a 98 TD dash. Or see Omegatoy ;)
Need to replace wheels, as these have wrong PCD. Tyres shot anyway. Got some Elite 16" wheels lined up, thanks to this place :y
Need a passenger side headlamp washer.
Need to fix sump leak cause by me when I retapped it :(
Need to check issue with brakes.
Replace passenger door speaker grill.
Replace boot carpet.
Give it a good service, it hasn't had one for ages I suspect...

That could have been the coolant issue?

Can't see how, but anything is possible with this tractor....

Many a true word spoken in jest ;)

I had a thought about the temp gauge.....did you update the software on the instrument panel with tech2.......to the latest version...
Is it possible that the latest version is desigend for facelift only where the temp gauge lower reading is 80 deg C.....

Not changed the instrument panel software version (there appears to be no new software for it), but have tried all 8 variant codes, all to no avail.
I suspect the gauge is knackered, and the fact it seems to read around what a facelift one one is conincidence. Seems to lazy about 97ish as well. Omegatoy has a spare (pre mini facelift) dash, are the temp gauges interchangable?

Cool sounds like you're getting somewhere with the cooling issue which has been the most evasive one :).
Did you fix the check strap using just the repair plates or did it need welding? I'm assuming it was ripped out like mine is. Might give it a go if no welding required, cos a) I can't weld and b) I don't have the gear ;).

No welding required. Quite simple actually - the 2 plates (one you have to cut to size) clamp either side of the door where its damaged...
