• Rover 400 (1995 - 1999) - 96 1.4 Intermitant running problem 24 Nov 2009 (Forum)

• Running cold - Mondeo 97 TD 23 May 2005 (Forum)
  I've since changed the thermostat with a genuine item, and the fault is still apparant. If it was running hot i would be thinking pump/ radiator problem, but what could cause running cold other than a fault temp sender for the indicator. No other problems wrt starting or running in general.

• ford transit tdci - diesels that run well one day and not the next 7 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  What would be common to these type of engines whereby day to day running is affected? I cant work it out. A clue with the Transit and the Galaxy is if you go for a run say 10 miles, park up for an hour then drive off again, it runs much better after that little rest. This all affected the transit the most....
