oil change, plus bleed clutch etc...

[Marks DTM Calib]

The oil will be from the crank case breather system.

I think the 'box might get done soon, but the clutch is also juddering heavily when its warm... so that could be on the cards too  

I thought the oil might be coming from the crankcase - which I'm not worried about. Would have been worried if it was coming from turbo tho!

Thanks for your help guys

Clutch judder can be all the usual causes but you also need to check the dual mass flywheel...especially on a tractor.
If there is more than 20mm ish free play between the two halves then you need another one.

I am guessing this is something I can only check once I have it all opened up? Is there any way of telling without having the box off?

Changed Aux belt now and waiting for A/C belt & stat to arrive (thanks Andy ), hopefully Friday.

Took the intercooler off and cleaned out, noticed that there is a fan that is seized up, so have taken this out. When does this come on? Do i even need it?

Same question for viscous fan really - do I need it? It seems I have 2 electric fans in front of rad anyway...? :-?

Thanks for any help

Intercooler fan comes on with rad fans.  Unless you modify it to be manually switched - cooler intake air improves performance

Haven't had my viscous on since last summer.  Got it to 97C giving it some real large up the mountian passes in the Lakes....

Well I might put it on a switch then, may as well be used as opposed to just sitting there rusting up.

Rad fans have not run for ages, the temp gauge never goes above 90deg - hence stat change and new antifreeze etc.

I think i'll run without the viscous fan, it already sounds faster!

if you can free the lntercooler fan off do it and hard wire it will increase perfomance !! as for viscous whip it off and lob it in bin !!

Runs so rather cold as that stupid viccy fan is always running (and stat opens early on these - 82C).

Put fan in boot (upright) for a few weeks so if you do have cooling issue, you can quickly whip it back on.

I leave my fan cowling off as well, but you have to support the PAS cooler hose (normally clipped to cowling) else it rubber son belts.
