Hi All,
I've trawled LZ for about a week trying to find my specific issues and identify possible solutions but frankly I'm at a bit of a loss.
My car:
Anyone had any similar issues/experiences?
Cheers,
Mo
I've trawled LZ for about a week trying to find my specific issues and identify possible solutions but frankly I'm at a bit of a loss.
My car:
- Defender 110 300 TDI M Reg
- I've been losing engine coolant for a few weeks now having noticed my heating wasn't working properly. It's not a huge amount (header tank per week) but still annoyingly frequent! We identified a small leak around the water pump gasket so put in some K-Seal to try and seal it short term. However I'm still having to top it up once a week.
- Every so often after starting her up in the morning and heading off to work, I've noticed the temp gauge going over halfway and sometimes further. I stop, give it a minute and restart and it settles back to normal for the rest of the day. When this happens, I notice the heater is also blowing cold!
- It also feels a bit lumpy just as I'm stopping at, for example, a roundabout or traffic lights but then settles down again and ticks over ok.
- It has also been struggling to start now it's cold! Usually takes 2 or 3 goes!
Anyone had any similar issues/experiences?
Cheers,
Mo
