just coming up to 130k and feels like new

ok its been weeks now and no re-occurrence done over 200 miles and not one flicker of the gauge, spoke to a few LR enthusiasts who said mine is the 4.0 Thor engne and 'bullet proof! but i have only driven it normally! i will try putting it under load up a hill and see what that does. just dont...

my mate came round tonight and we started it and left running on the drive in the 26 degree heat for about 20 mins, then took it for a drive and again left it for a while running! no problems whatsoever.

does anyone know if either or both the water pump or thermostat would put the hevac light on?

does that make a difference?

a mate of mine suggested the water pump(that sounds fun) or thermostat. will try thermostat first or go for both? just read up on replacing the water pump so may get a mechanic pal to do it.

hi, thanks for the advice! he has loads of stuff from what my mum says! i need to collect them first! i am amazed at what stuff sales for! when i sold my TDV6 Disco last month i forgot about the original LR boot liner for disco 3/4, put it on ebay to get rid and its at £70 already?? WTF its a...

Hi, i dont think you need to fit it all the time, its to be kept in the boot and fitted if it does fail, from what he tells me??? i had one fail on my TD5 disco, but was ok after half hour and lived for 6 more months lol!

i will do thanks!
