Hi Guys,
We have just finished replacing the front shocks and rear air bags on our landy only to find that it is now overheating!
The heaters still blow out hot air but the temp. guage on the dash slowly creeps up whilst driving. Through fear of the blowing the head gasket the car is now permanently on the drive until we sort this problem!
The car went for an annual service and I noticied that when I turned the engine off after driving the car home there was a whirring / clattering noise which sounded like a fan slowing down. There was no noise before the service. We have flushed the radiator through as the radiator was not getting hot. The water flowed through the radiator until it was clear but unfortunately the car still overheats after this.
We are wondering if this could possibly be the water pump / coolant pump (same thing?) that has gone wrong?
Any help out there would be greatly appreciated as we need to know what is wrong before ordering parts to fix the car.
Thank you!
Chrissy.
