HI i am Ian
i own a 199 disco 11 4lt v8 running on LPG
nice motor drives well when it is working properly
the head gasket when on it and i got a land rover garage to sort it out
heads skimmed new water pump and thermostat and drove it home some 15 miles when out in it one night to asda to get some cash while i was getting the said cash one of the small cooling pipes from the vapor camber had burst got the RAC out to sort it out and they did and drove it home i was advised bye the RAC man to change some of the other small pipes that looked a bit iffy
did them the next day started it up and tested for leaks and found none when for a run out later that day and had a look under the bonnet and found that the top hose that goes from the radiator to the thermostat had increast in size
so i take it that the engine is pressuring the cooling system
dose any one know what could be causing this
thanks ian (disco v8i)
