As Rick says - bin the rad ! If it's that rusty internally then no way can water be flowing efficiently enough to cool it properly Summer is on the way - you are just asking for a major engine rebuild ! Try Here :- Range Rover - Cooling System

Overfinch my arse !

If the rads full of brown ****ty water, so is the engine - flush that out too Did you put anti freeze back in when you changed the water pump ? V8's need a 50/50 mix of the correct type all year round to stop rust forming

There is no reason why they would remove the top rad hose when working on the air suspension that I can think of and I can't see how switching the air con on would have any influence on the hose either - it's belt driven from a pulley When your engine is running does the top hose feel very hard...

I would say a tiny pressure drop like that is acceptable - sniff test is the one you really want to pass ! Reason I asked about the heater cooling it down a lot yesterday was because I used to have a 110 with a 3.9 engine from a rangie - it was a bugger for air locking at the heater pipes - it...

Try this for starters :- http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/friends-there-life-after-eas-55629.html As a recent convertee (is that a real word ? :confused:) - I am very pleased with the outcome Just research what kind of ride/handling you are after first

Are you doing a lot of short journeys ? Sounds like condensation building up and not getting a chance to evaporate cos the engine aint that hot The fact that there is no oil mixed with it is a good sign - I wouldn't be worrying about it

Well as long as the thermostat didn't come in a Britpart box you will be alright ! If I were you I would whip the rad out and have a good look at the state of the cooling fins for rot, and the rad in general for muck This hot weather's the boy for showing up faults ! Give it a good hosing to...

I don't think they are as bad for airlocks as the V8 classics but don't rule it out just yet Where did you get your thermostat from ? - I have had NEW thermostats fail to open in the past (not on a P38 mind) - does your top hose get hot when the engine is showing hot ? - if not, suspect the...

I've just offered him £7200....................................................................:D

Can't make my mind up about that colour - at first I thought Oh my God !, that's horrible - but it's slowly growing on me Don't forget to find out when it was first registered in 2001 - after the 1st. of March and it will cost you dear in road tax ! Good luck - I bet they get back to you re price

I've yet to see a "stainless" system that doesn't rust just as quick as a mild steel system - they are all **** and a waste of money IMHO What's wrong with the standard set up ? - it already has 4 branch manifolds and a decent bore Stick a screwdriver through the middle silencer if you want it...

Sergei writes the same way I was speaking on Saturday night ! :o

Not much help but have you considered selling the 18" wheels/tyres to help fund a set of 16's ? You are very limited to 18" all terrain tyres and even then they cost a fortune, whereas 16's are a lot cheaper with better choice just a thought.................................................

If you are only going to use it on weekends and the odd run then LPG isn't such a big issue You will get more car for your money without LPG - go the Jap import route if you can, you won't believe how clean and rust free they are They will also all be low mileage

Oooo errrrr missus...........................................................:rolleyes:

I don't know - mine won't stay up though, so I know it's duff !

You will match if not slightly better those figures all day long with the 4.6, and easily get over 20 on a gentle run Towing a 3t trailer or booting it I can't get it below 12 mpg - must try harder !
