Mud-muncher1:
Hi to all in the know, after a weekend at manby and going through the mud run, my disco has decided to over heat  :doh:, i've flushed and cleaned my rad which to be honest was in a complete state, but it still persist, there is no sign of water in the oil and the water bottle is being over pressured, as i'm no mechanic and my best tool is a sledge hammer i have no idea where to start to look, any help would be much appreciated,

thx Jav.

Lincs niva:
Still havent sorted it the mate,Sorry i shouldnt have egged you on to go through tne mud run sorry..

Is the rad clear from all that mud??
Are any fins damaged on the rad??

Cheers Gav

Disco Matt:
I would think about damaged fins, sad to say - they are incredibly delicate. I'm guessing that you're not losing coolant, but the temp gauge is going up?

Mud-muncher1:
there's a few damaged, but no more than you'd get from a vehicle of that age an its totaly clear of mud, looks like a bit of tape aint fixing this one  :doh:, oh an i forgot to say that it's started puffing out some smoke from the exhaust but i put that down to burning more oil, but not sure.

landroverkeith:
have u washed the rad out from the front and the back ???

 :roll: only ask cos i had the same i had cleaned the rad a treat from the front but all i had managed to do was wash it to the back and pack it nicely in undo the 2 bolts and gently move it forward to check  :-k solved mine overheating str8 away

hope that helps
