hi

about 20 min ago drove my freelander through a big puddle, now it has a lack of power creamy oil in the oil cap and its blowing badly through the oil filler hole

i'm hoping my head gasket has gone and that i haven't warpped the blocks or cracked them.

any ideas if this is what's happened and any guess at a price

cheers

60cm is deeper than the recommended wading depth for a deepender never mind a gaylander. My guess would be an hydraulicked injun. and a bent conrod.

I think it was wrong of you to betray Hans.

no door jokes, running fine it maybe but to be honest you need to sort asap before you do more damage than you already have if you live near swansea i would be willing to do the job

If you're sure you've not been losing coolant, then you have probably got water in your engine from the puddle. Have a look in the air filter housing, is it wet?, is the air filter wet?
