Hi all, hope that you can offer me some advice on this problem. First of all I am ashamed to admit that I only have a basic knowledge of vehicle maintainance but before I rush off to my local helpful landrover specialists I just thought id run this by you to get your thoughts. Why do these things always happen on a bank holiday weekend!!!
I drive a 1996 300tdi which yesterday started overheating. I had to stop several times on my way home and wait for the engine to cool right down before adding water to the system which fortunately i carry in bulk due to having dogs!
I managed to nurse my vehicle home and the dogs loved the amount of walks that they had in the process!
I have no idea where the water is being lost as there are no leaks...however the pressure on the system was high...the water was literally boiling!
I have drained the system and refilled it and the vehicle ran fine until i came to a steep hill when the overheating occurred again fortunately close to home.
Off to the garage on Tuesday but any indications as to what the problem could be?
