Does anyone know why the photos don't show up on the 'how to' tutorial for the Throttle Body Heater Gasket Repair for the DII? It looks to be a VERY helpful tutorial but no photos :-(

 

Don't know why pics aren't there but try this one:
TB Heater Repair - LAND ROVER CLUB V.I.

 

IMO it's easier to just remove the throttle body before taking off the heater. It's only 4 bolts but you have MUCH easier access to the heater plate bolts and can move it around wherever you want. Plus you can get in there with some cleaner a bit easier while it's off.

Leaving it on may sound like a shortcut but it really only makes the job more difficult. Atleast it did for me anyways.

 

Thanks guys - I appreciate it. I don't know for certain that this is the issue but will find out tomorrow when I dig into it. Trying to pinpoint the leak (coolant running down back of engine on driver's side and hitting the exhaust). This helps, thx.

 

run a file across the throttle body opening to make sure it is level.
There are 4 small bolts which are a pita, but not worth pulling the plenum for.

 

Thx.. I tackled it early this morning at work in a heated garage (thank goodness seeing as it's 14F here and windy with lots of snow..) - it's definitely the throttle body gasket. The parts are ordered and on the way - thanks for all of the help!
