  1. right found it using a mirror and torch

     

    well it looks like the caseing where the waterpump attaches too right at the very top, but not i dont think the actual pump its self.

     

    i think you call it a crank case or timing case gasket , i could be wrong and god i hope i am .

    it got wet on the back side of the pump but further back than the edge of the pump casing.

     

    dont suppose anyones done anything like this on a trooper

  2. was hoping water pump but its dripping on the back of the caseing not down the front where you would think if it was water pump.

     

    it only drips when the engine is warm / hot but soon as turned off it starts , while engine is running its holding - strange , i just cant tell for sure where its from , i,ll probabley have to start stripping it down just to find the damn thing

  3. right - got a slight leak on my trooper 3.1, but only when i turn the engine off , i cant identifiy where its coming from accept its in the direction of the front of the head , theres lots of pipe there etc so really can see.

     

    only leaks when engine warm and turned off , no other symptoms as yet , thats why i was asking , running and starting ok .

    i thought i saw a few bubbles in the header tank , but after looking again on various occasions nothing . it is only a singel pipe header like a rad overflow.

  4. got a trooper 3.1

     

    i,ve got a noise that only appears when the engine is fully warmed up like a tock rather than a tap.

     

    you can hear it at tickover when stationary when warm , but its also there and louder when driven , and seems to follow the revs up and down you can hear it change tone as you go on and off the accelerator as you change through the gears . its definately engine as it does it when stationary as well

     

    as i said its not there when engine cold or first driven until temp gauge goes up to normal position then it starts to appear

     

    any ideas thanks

  5. +1. Brilliant stuff. :good: I think it's still available from Amazon in liquid form. The powder version had an anti fire depressant added because of it's explosive qualities.

    this was the best stuff i ever used , we used to get it from wilko's :)

  6. i would do a pic if i could , anyway stampings are :- 17-994 - 1993 - with an arrow shape

     

    ok just had a look on the net - it says british army / MOD pattern , i beleive the martindale as a croc on it .

     

    so it is a pattern , i thought 1993 was the issue date

     

    anyway still here

  7. what an excellent link , very well explained

     

    is this type of thing only seen in pups or very young

     

    Apache -- one of my dogs is doing similar thing , a little hop , now and then ,and sometimes looks akward going up steps. then she looks fine for a while .

    i noticed a few times while she was eating she had the rear leg slightly outward.

     

    i have massaged it etc , put her on joint aid and rested her , stopped her from jumping up .

    she seems ok at the mo , but i,m guessing it will return as its not the first time .

     

    i hope to god its not the start of cruicate problems .

     

    my other bitch as had both legs done tpo or something like that , the vet who did the ops said theres not a lot you can do once its started to go.

    Apache - what do think would be the best thin to do

    thank you
