All of that can be sorted. At least it’s honest. Most likely would have needed bodywork on the arches, even without farm use.

Yes, it needs plenty of elbow grease but that's fine. After I am back from holiday next month I will post a wanted-parts list. |

I have ordered a new set of wheel nuts and thanks to this thread, https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic61127...t=heating, £25-worth of top quality Chinese changeover valve. |

Oh dear. An overheating warning but I caught it quickly. Fortunately the truck was only 15 minutes away so I'm back home waiting for it to cool. It does not crank though but it was OK when it loaded onto the truck.

I disconnected the battery for an hour and it started. There was a low coolant warning so more investigation required. I topped up with the orange coolant, hopefully that is correct as Halfords website said so but its in-store book said blue.

Similar to the noise mine makes when cold. And it uses a small amount of coolant, maybe a litre every 500 miles. Perhaps it’s the water pump? |

Yes, certainly possible. I think I'll replace the 'stat anyway but I will inspect the system. I need to order the fan coupling spanner thingy. |

slow coolant leak could be EGR Cooler. |

A mixed bag today. The easiest job was replacing the locking wheel nuts and throwing them in the bin.

Assuming the L322 uses the same 'quick fit' coolant hose couplings as the L405, then they are all prone to weeping! I've changed numerous hoses on mine. The o-ring goes flat, then the coupling leaks slightly. I've still got one leaking somewhere!

My new hose clamp pliers arrived. The top two hoses were a doddle but I cannot release the lower hoses as the clamps are 90° turned away and thus there is no room. If the fuse box wasn't there it would be a lot simpler.

Intake hoses: There is some misting present so some new hoses required later.

Some more slow progress and profanity but I have the most difficult hose on the valve.
