Cooling system, Freelander 1999, 2.0 turbodiesel

Dear Sirs,

I need some help regarding a LAND ROVER FREELANDER 1999, 2.0 TURBODIESEL ENGINE.


My problems are:

1. Too much preassure in the cooling system. It comes water vapour out from the device´s lid.-
2. Importan “bubbling” in the cooling device.-
3. Water comes down (aprox. 1 lt every 200 km), whithout visible leaks.-


NOTES:

1.- The lid of the cooling device is graduated in 1 bar per presion

2.- Apparently the joint of cilinders cover, is in good conditions

3.- There is no leaking of water to oil and viceversa.-

4.- There is no reheating of the Engine.-

5.- The engine is 136.000 km old.-

6.- I have certain doubts of the right position and connection of the water hoses. Some are not factory made (I bought it used).-

7.- If you have a diagram of the flows of the cooling system I would really apreciate if you could send one to me. I would also need to know if there are any other valvles or similar that I´d have to check.-


Thanking you in advance
