just got my disco 2 back from a landy specialist, recon head, new oil cooler and power steering pump and over £2000 lighter. drove the 30 miles home, checked underneath to find drips of coolant everywhere. checked the header tank to find it empty. put in 1.5 litres of coolant and fired her up again. coolant ****ing out of the header vent pipe so screwed it up as tight as i could and it stopped. switched off and looked in header to find it black! rang him up and he reckons its residual oil from the cooling system still coming out. they apparently flushed it 3 times this morning. he did say to expect to see more oil appear over a couple of weeks but 30 miles??? also he reckons the coolant from the header vent is possibly due to the flushing chemicals attacking the seals in the pressure cap. he told me to bring it in next week and he'll flush it again.
does this seem right??
to me, if i've just spent 2 grand to have it sorted, this shouldnt happen!!
