Nice one mike pleased you got it sorted :):)

No problem mate :) like i said if you get stuck give me a call and i will run through it again with you.

Pm me your home number mate and i will call you and sort it out

Not sure if this helps BUT i have just gone down the same road with my disco. Spent 7 hours getting it up and running and the problem was the valves not closing proper. When you take the head off and refit it the gap between the rocker and valve changes. I then set them up again and it started...

My guess is that they are no diff from any other 4x4 as they all have problems but its just a case of keeping on top of them and you should be ok. When i got mine home thanks to the AA i stripped it and found that the last owner had bodged it together to sell and when i called him he didnt want...

Took the head off mine just to find its gone again between 2-3 so its getting skimmed and pressure tested tommorow. With a bit of luck should have it sorted for wed :o

A lot of ppl say its best to replace the thermostat and back flush the system but have a read on refilling the system as if your not careful it will cause an air lock and give you loads of trouble. This is also my first landy and i also have had trouble as i bought mine last week from scotland...

These seem to suffer from blocked pipes and rads as i have found out mate. At the min it could be loads of things so i would just keep an eye on your water level and see what happens

Just pulled head back off and you can see its gone between 2-3 again so my guess is the head is warped. Going to drop it off tommorow and get it tested and skimmed. So with a bit of luck it should be back to running on wed and then i can go and get it dirty.

Dont bleed it as its a sealed system. Go to dealers and buy new kit and its an easy fix. you will get the cylinder at the back of the peddle and the pipe leading to the cylinder on the box. I have fitted a few now and if your handy its deffo a D.I.Y job

The garage where i work is a forte dealer and i must admit i have seen there stuff do some things you would'nt belive. I have always said give it a good blast but i am starting to change my mind.

I called loads of places today and was getting prices from 345+vat up to 460. I will pull the head back off on sat and get it tested but i was told from a few places its a common problem with the heads cracking on these. I know its just guessing until its checked just a bit gutted its broke as i...

Its a 2.5 tdi mate M reg. I think its a 300 but not sure as this is the first land rover i have had. I have been at it tonight bleeding it over and over but everytime i go out for a short run its back in the red so my guess is the head is cracked. My next problem is the price of a new head as i...

Same here mate but just didnt have the time as needed the car back on the road asap and now kicking myself for not doing it. So i guess its a strip down again :mad::mad:

When i did the gasket yesterday i had a right chew bleeding the system but got there in the end and everything was fine till today. I am worried that i have blown the steel gasket or worse cracked the head driving it as i could'nt stop. I have tried to bleed it again tonight but its now chucking...
