<< < (2/3) > >>

LAND-ROVER-PIMP:
The m.o.t's fine!! Haha.

Changed the bolts, don't know if the head was pressure tested hot or cold.

When I first start the disco after about 30 or 40 seconds steam starts to pour from the exhaust but clears if you take it on a run for 5 mins or so, but then the heater will suddenly blow cold and the cooling system pressurises. As far as I know the cooling systems ok and had the usual water pump and gasket, and the P-gasket, flushed the radiator and heater matrix, and made sure the system was bled properly..

Is it the head thats cracked? Or the block?  :(

PLEASE SAY THE HEAD!!  :wink:

Range Rover Blues:
If either are cracked try using a crack-sealing compound on it.  My mate sells 2 very good ones, one is more 'serious' than the other or use them both, one to seal quite bad cracks and the other to fit and forget as a preventative measure.

LAND-ROVER-PIMP:
Fitted a re-con head today and it seems to be ok!!  :D

Although when you take the oil cap off there seems to be a bit of steam comin out? Any ideas? The engine temp is normal, heater stays hot, and no pressure in the cooling system. If you have any thoughts on the steam let me know please.  :?

Thanks for the replies all...

Jason2985:
Get a bit o steam from my V8, i think its just a bit o oil vapour? i hope.

I`ve had no water loss or gunk on the oil filler cap.

LAND-ROVER-PIMP:
I'll keep an eye on the temp and water level and see how she goes!

Then get round to work on my 110..

Cheers Jay.  :D
