After reading another thread Ive found something else I have never done :D
1 Changing the coolant, is this easy?
2 Cam belt, do I have belt or chain on Pete and Syd. How do I know if I need to change them? I have had Pete for 2 years and never even looked under the bonnet :-[ :-[ until I got Syd last month and joined OOF :y now I live under there ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
1) Fairly easy yes :y
2) Belt on the V6 and Chain on the tractor. Belt needs changing every 40k or 4 years (whichever is sooner) if unsure get it changed anyway! Chain should be good for at least 250k ;)

Next question is there guide for coolant on here?
Will look through Petes paperwork to see if any record of last belt change. :-/ As for Syd, thats more brownie points and another reason keeping him :y :y :y

ffs, does NO ONE read the guides section? >:(

Easy way, do a search, only select guides section, only chose to search titles, and put in the keyword ;)

TBH, we need a special search facility for the guides section or atleast order them by category
Personally, would have loved to see this guide a few months back - could never find it :'(

As above, our search works fine for our needs.
Just select the guides section only when doing a search.
And come on, its only 7 pages, took me all but 15 seconds to find it the manual way

we do already - its called 'tunnie' ;) you just have to put up with the grumpy comment accompanying the result..
seriously I agree with the suggestion. The maint guide section has grown quite a lot - even when you know something is in there its often difficult to find.

Some of us are new to this, it all looks the same to me at the moment :( You didnt have to answer if it winds you up that much :P

funnily enough, that search brought up my guide in double quick time.
And it took me 5 mins to make

Ive read the guide and all looks very straight forward until the last page. The 2.5TD diesel has a block drain plug, so you can drain the block conveniently...
where and what is the that! where in the guide is pics ? and no ffs please :( only just worked out what that meant ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I only done it once on the TD, i *think* its drivers side, towards the back.

Rad drain would do for now... just flush it through couple of times
