Cooling System & Heater
Range Rover Blues:
I've had the same and it was a pinhole in the hose, looked fine from outside, inside it had delaminted and collapsed.
Anti freeze BTW lowers the surface tension of water, for those who are going :? huh? that means it will leak a lot more when you add anti freeze, many a water pump has gurgled it's last when the anti freeze was replaced ready for winter.

Well its half time in the P-gasket change. Just come in for a warm up brew. The first part of stripping the belt tensioner, hoses, pully from water pump and power steering all went remarkably well.
The second phase of stripping the second part of the pump has slowed me down. As i couldnt find a socket to fit into the rescess containing the fixing bolt, otherwise hidden behind the belt tensioner. (Think that made sense.)
Just two bottom fixing bolts to go and shes off, and were flying. - Pics to follow.
