Range Rover Blues:
Well I don't know about mine, it was steaming but LPG does that. Now the weather's improved it doesn't do it.  It's been running rough since last summer when I fitted the LPG (rooughly) and I know i damaged the inlet gasket (had to use black silicone) so that needs doing again but I'm loathed to disturb the heads just for the sake of it.

Oh and I think the cam might be past it's best, which is another culprit.

Garth:
Badger dont hold me to this but unless you need to use the motor daily keep running it till you definatly have failier or are 100% sure of fault ie it gets lots worse.

If you end up getting heads done and intend to keeping it for a while get them skimmed, head de coked and valves lapped in and get hydrolic lifters (tappets) checked and all top end oilways cleaned out.  
Dependning on how much cash you have spare of course.

Point to note £450 is a lot to spend on half an engine is the rest of the engine worth it.
If you can change the rad you should be able to do heads.  If you did it yourself would cost a 1/4 of that.  Digital camera, pen and paper, a half decent tool kit and some patients (and a spell checker) however if your as good a mechanic as I am at DIY send it to  a garage. :D  :D  :D

Yoshi:
I am considering doing it myself, generally it is run as a daily motor and would need to be used as such, its not so bad right now as its off the road cos of the fault, so driving a mundano!!!

Range Rover Blues:
It's nothing that's beyond you mate if you have the patience, but I 'd say fix the rad and see what it's like.

Dr Strangeglove:
Keep us informed Badger!!

Good luck with it mate - I hope the Rad solves the problem.
