Disco 2 Posts: 4398  | RE: Inner Wings Johnny boy,Welcome, I have oil cooler rad and hoses spare on a dead engine, but get a local hose doctor to make them up in flexi. if your cooler won,t mate up to your rad you may have the wrong rad, post some pics lets see what you are up against, Ahh yes the oil pressure sender switch, now there is a challenge, once youve got the screw out of the end to remove the cable a 22mil ring and keep turing it a flat at a time from underneath, once loose get your hand in there, replace with sender that has a push fit connector. good luck  Edited by roughneck 2/18/2007 6:43 PM | |

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | RE: Inner Wings I find it easier to pull the engine and gearbox together than taking off the inner and outer wing. You are going to have to change the rad anyway, dont undo the short prop bolts, just mark it up and pop it out. They are fitted like that in production, then you can easily sort out all those irritating bits in no time. I have all the parts you need. PS with fore knowledge I could have brought them down when I was at BenzWorld yesterday.  Edited by roughneck 2/19/2007 4:21 AM | |

Disco 2 Posts: 4398 | Re: Inner Wings I am up North near junc 16 M1, I have all those parts either on the shelf or on dead Gs all second hand of course. I can see why you would want to avoid pulling the engine. | |

| Re: Inner Wings OK just an update on this one.......Wing off, no problem, Inner wing off, no real problem (although a PITA with all the cabling etc), gives lovely access to sender unit, and, after removing the inlet manifold bracing strut, gives super access to remove the offending oil cooler pipe......... :). On Monday I will be ordering an electric PSI Gauge & pod, complete with an appropriate new sender unit, the location of the pod not yet finalised !!!! On a separate note, the sender switch on mine was 24mm not 22, guess they are all different? Oh, and I think I've found my footwell leak - a "dislocated" bonnet release cable grommet in the battery tray area - I doubt I would have seen it with the inner wing still in place.........which will be on its way to a welder on Monday, too | ||

| Re: Inner Wings Progress report - new oil cooler hose fitted is 1.5" shorter than the one i had made up, now the oil cooler fits okay....., and oil pressure gauge fittings all installed ready for the wiring etc. For the gauge, I've fitted a screw in T piece about an inch long in place of the sender unit, this has 3 M8 ports on it (comes with two blanking plugs and a back to back connector). This is then connected to an 182 braided hose, on the other end of which is a 3 port connector, one to take the braided hose, one is an M14 thread to take a new oil pressure switch (albeit not an MB one, an aftermarket "early warning 25psi one)), and the last port an m8 to take the switch that feeds the gauge, this means that I will have both the original dash light and an electric PSI gauge, mounted in a nice neat pod, final location to be decided...... All for around £60, and a load of hassle, but I reckon its an investment.......
