ESSEXBULLDOG:
had a few people look at my disco and we stuck another battery on her and she fired up and drove normal but loads of bubbling in expansion bottle so we all think its the head gasket , i have a bloke coming on tuesday as he is busy till tuesday  he does land rover repairs he said he does loads of them and he charges £200 and thats all in  .
so got to wait till tuesday ....................


just hope its all running for Peterborough  fest.

thanks for the help .................

Range Rover Blues:
£200 is damn good, I've spent a bomb on Julies after the rad let go on the motorway, £100 on the rad, £32 on the head bolts that fit, £23.50 on the bolts that didn't, £48 on a head gasket set (again much of it is wrong), £15 on antifreeze, £20 on getting the head skimmed, £14 on new valve springs ands £20 on degreaser.  Add in all the other consumables and it's getting expensive.

mickelson:
best of luck. let us know the outcome mate

ESSEXBULLDOG:
thanks for all the advice .
 i will let you know how it all goes .
thanks

i did get a quote from a local garage £546.00 the vat added and head skimmed

Ja1983:
300Tdi`s are prone to head failure, or moreso the headgasket fails, and as a result the head gets scored by pressursed water... possible that water has seeped into the cylinder, hence it woudnt turn over so well..

make sure you get the oil flushed and changed, the water flushed and changed, and the head skimmed...


....and make sure you get the right hed gasket (see the other thread!  :lol: )
