L322 5.0 litre supercharged.

My car is broken. It’s at least a cylinder head gasket, maybe cracked heads as well. Can anyone recommend a specialist that can work on the car. Believe it or not I’ve asked a local specialist and they’ve got back to me and said that it’s not something that they would want to get involved with.

Sorry to hear that, I'd do it... If you where in France that is.
I hope you find someone.
Where abouts are you so peeps can hopefully point you right.

Nice one Tim.

I'm Mike..a satisfied customer for many years. TFL keep my stunning old girl feeling and performing better than the day she rolled out of S/hull and onto my drive in 04'.
Only reason to get rid of a perfectly good LR is vanity..although my daily drive has always been a 5 Series .. they just work..all the time.

What makes you think it's blown a headgasket?

White smoke from exhaust accompanied by a really funky smell, a misfire on multiple cylinders, and an appetite for coolant. That’s about it. . . . . . . . . Please tell me that you think that I’m mistaken.

Whip the spark plugs out and see which ones are steam cleaned.

Four of them from different banks.

I’m surprised that you say that Henry. Why do you suppose local specialists aren’t interested then?

Dunno

To be fair if a LR specialist can't do a set of headgaskets on an L322, they should hang up their overalls.
