It's a smart man who knows when it's time to stop digging before the hole gets too big :wink:

Hope the bill doesn't make you unwell.

I just had the call from the garage, £165.00 + VAT.

Disco recovered, stripped down, sheered off bolt removed, new P gasket, rebuilt, system bled etc

I was concerned about the fact that it was overheating now and then and he said that the P gasket was totally U/S and he could see rusty marks where it had been leaking water and that I wouldn;t of seen a leak as by the time the water gets to open air if you like it has evaporated :?:  he also said that when you rev a disco for a while and then the throttle is dropped if there is a leak in the head gasket then becuase of the fumes/gas in the water it forces the water out of the expansion tank opening but mine was ok :?: :?:


Hope this cures my over heating problem...... :wink:

she's fixed up, only thing is, now the injector has started leaking diesel badly and he didn't fix the rocker cover gasket as he didn't think I wanted it done, even though it was in the bag of tricks I gave him. I didn't mind as I thought I'd do it myself but then I got it home and noticed that it wasn't in the Disco :shock:
Gotta call him 2moro and try and get it refunded so I can buy another, its a 30 mile round trip so don't really wanna make a special trip 2 him for it.
Is it safe to drive with the injector leaking :?:

Also had the EGR bypass done as well, WHAT A DIFFERENCE  8)
Smoked like hell 4 a while then it cleared up, presumably it was smoking out the poo from the intercooler now it can breath properly:?:
Much better now.

Lastly, not sure if anything to worry about but I was happily driving along and changed down a gear and it revved like hell and I had no drive, thought poo and stopped and it turned out that transfer box had slipped out into the middle nothing  :roll:

shaun and co:
if you flush your intercooler out now youll be amazed at the amount of [!Expletive Deleted!] that comes out- you could tarmac a drive with it! my last disco used to slip into n on the transfer box occasionaly- never really annoyed me so it stayed that way for the next 20,000 miles till i blew the truck up!
