Hello
22. Oct 2006 at 13:45

Save in the knowledge that 'you don't bite' - hello!
I have a '96 TD GLS Estate Auto with 122K miles on clock. I have had it for past 39 months & it has proved a reliable work-horse. As a semi-pro musician it gets used to haul heavy PA equipment around the country as well as everyday use to & from work
Of late I have noticed that the temperature reaches an alarming 100C when pulling up long inclines on motorways, it then cools off when more flat or downhill conditions are encountered
I have been told that the viscous fan coupling (or clutch is at fault). The cost from Vauxhall is frightening, but since the motor is shared with BMWs & Range-Rover P38s, would a unit from either of these be suitable as they appear considerably cheaper, or could there be other reasons for the overheating?
The other mystery is that the headlight beams adjustment do not function despite the servos whirring away. Is there a trick to fitting the servos into the headlamp assemblies?
Any advice/ help welcome
Ian
