2.2 TDCI coolant change
Anyone changed the coolant on a 2.2 yet? Mine one of the earliest but thinking of doing it before Morocco. Changed the gearbox oil over the weekend 2 years early and it was like treacle. 1951 80" S1 2.0

No, but interested to know the process so subscribing!

I also changed gearbox oil ‘early’ and I was surprised how much the gearbox quietened down- hadn’t realised it was noisy beforehand! 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2

Just wondering if the cooling properties improve. Probably not but winter anti freeze abilities improve. Not much use in 48deg! 1951 80" S1 2.0

Just did mine (110 13My 2.2).... Changed the Thermostat at the same time (now running 78deg opening)... Truck seems much happier and it's nice to know I'm not constantly running in the mid 90's even in the UK...
