So it’s an L322 4.4 V8 BMW Petrol engine- sentimental so despite age, scrapping is not an option.
Going through coolant every 3-4 weeks with the low coolant warning coming on. Pulled into a garage last week for them to top it up after short 5-10 min drive and coolant boiled out of the reservoir like lava. The temperature gauge never moves above normal.
Done a sniffer test twice for the head gaskets and it’s fine and no signs of coolant in the oil.
Drove it to a relatives 150miles with AA cover in place, the fans on full heat into the cab and windows open. It drove like a dream and no coolant lost.
No warning lights on the dash. But if I do a short 10 min journey without the heating on full she burns through coolant and smells like I’ve driven to France and back.
Mechanics a bit baffled. Any Rangy expert thoughts appreciated.
