Head gasket problem is a possibility... Check water and oil for signs of each.

Thought this forum, was above remarks like that, looking back when the Disco first came about a lot of people remarked about it not being a proper landy and time has proven them wrong, give the old Freebie a chance she is not a bad old girl, and at the end of the day when all is said and done, she has the good old green oval attached to her, so she is a proper landy  :D  :D

I have to admit, the freebie has surprised me. On a recent laning trip, infortunatly, due to money issues, i couldn't get Mud Tyres or All Terrains, but was persuaded to try the lanes anyways. Throughout the whole weekend, it rained, which made the lanes very slippery and dodgy, but alas, she made it. Even coped VERY well with the rock steps.
