We ran 3 of these for quite a few years. Still have one on the left in the second pic, but it's only used on the farm - failed the MOT :(
As someone else said, not the best at towing - and terrible fuel economy - but they'd pretty much go anywhere. I'd have another one (if I could find one...
Something is causing the urea in your liquid to become unstable and release either ammonia, carbon dioxide, or both gases. While the most common cause would be additional water as explained earlier, another possibility is that the quality of the urea used is not so good. This is quite possible...
You're correct that most liquid feeds contain water.
Urea liquid feed manufacture begins with the production of a urea solution premix. Urea is dissolved in hot water, and various stabilising products and suspension agents are added, which act to "bond" the urea in the premix. This premix is...
@Wood field - the more I think about it, the more I think that water is your problem. My memory of last week is dodgy, and dredging stuff up from more than 20 years ago is even harder :)
You need to avoid any "extra" water coming into contact with the liquid feed. This could include washing...
I was referring to the dangers of urea separating out of old liquid feed, not gassing up.
I used to work for one of the larger UK liquid feed companies more than 20 years ago. It happened then as well - but extremely rarely - and I'm afraid I can't remember the cause. I know that we tried to...
Urea can drop out of suspension in liquid feeds if they remain unused for a long period. This could possibly account for livestock losses as they get a high dose of urea over a short period.
It was for this reason that I suggested using compressed air to re-mix liquid feed which has been...
We run a couple of machines dry at least once a year - combination of no/broken fuel gauges and incompetence. :)
I use a compressor (with a rag around the pipe of the blowy thing to create a seal) to supply a bit of pressure to the fuel tank and help force diesel through while cranking the...
Great when they're working, nightmare and costly when the engine spins a bearing. Back when the 4 was the current model our local dealer never had fewer than half a dozen in waiting for warranty work.
Don't buy one without a good warranty!
Just to close this - thanks to ACEngineering we contacted the company he suggested. Unfortunately they were unable to help but directed us to another company who are posting a seal kit today.
Many thanks again! :)
Thanks for your message which I have translated and passed on to my friend. it is the priority valve which is the problem - he has brakes, but very little steering. Ironically he took delivery of a brand-new machine a couple of weeks ago, so it's not an urgent problem. He would just like to...
Can anyone give any recommendations for a Sanderson specialist - preferably in southern UK. Trying to find a part for a Claas Ranger 940GX (which is apparently a rebadged Sanderson GX525) from 1998.
It's a seal from the hydraulic distribution system. Yesterday the machine lost all hydraulic...
To be honest I just asked him what their experience was with the 2l D5. I don't really know a lot about the engines. My last "good" LR was a Disco 2 which I took to 450.000 km before chassis rust killed it. I replaced it with a Disco 4 which was an absolute nightmare - it spent probably as...
I have been considering a D5 with the 2l diesel engine. I saw the workshop manager from the local LR dealer at the weekend (he is a member of our classic car club).
He told me they currently have 5 Discoveries in for new engines under warranty, all less than a year old.
I'd love a 3l but...
