old thread with all the details.... http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/do-i-sell-repair-range-rover-1999-4-0-v8-se-122010.html also on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230550761544&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT needs to go today, so £1250 to the first person!

The car needs to go tommorow! I am willing to accept £1250 from the 1st person who turns up with a trailer to be able to take it away. I need a working car for monday or basically I lose a well paid job, so realistically losing a couple of grand on this car at the moment is my only option...

Too late.. the decision has been made (mainly by the Mrs.) the car is now for sale for the bargain price of £1400! COME AND GET IT! who evers 1st to get round here with that much cash and a tow truck its yours!

Well yes, in theory it SHOULD leave me with a fault free car, but the way my has been going these last few weeks I'm very doubtful.. I dont suppose there's any other way of diagnosing a slipped liner without taking the heads off is there? I'd love to keep this car.. but I just dont know if...

No, it has been professionaly diagnosed as HG.. Fortune 4x4 definately know what there doing.. there also part of 'the good garage scheme'. there quote inc all new heatshields, head skimming, all new gaskets, bolts, coolant and oil.. labour only comes to £500...

It may not be slipped liner or block problems, but once the heads are off and if there are any other problems then I cannot afford the repairs... so its a bit of a gamble, sell for £1500 and buy another cheap car, or pay the garage to put it back together costing £1500 and coming away with a...

But does Ironite fix slipped liners? I wouldnt have thought it would?

Ok I bought this car about 8 weeks ago and it broke down on my journey home sadly.. it has an overheating problem.. it has caused me so much stress and heartache, it has nearly caused my relationship to end..lol Its currently in a garage, Fortune 4x4 in Laindon and they have confirmed its the...

I'm guessing the HG blown at the rear, hence not showing up on the sniff test... Its going in next Friday to be looked at... fingers crossed!

but its had a sniff test done and passed? unless the man did it wrong....

what if the aircon's off? i've got the heaters on full heat to help the bleeding of the air in the system... so would it still leak?

ermm.. well its just water in there at the moment, as it overheated, and had trouble stopping it from overheating.. then come across this leak.. i think it does stop after 5 minutes, so is that just normal? water draining out from aircon? so this could be a seperate issue from the...

I have coolant leaking on to what I think the transfer box is... the box to the rear of the gearbox.. its a 4.0 v8... starts to leak about 15 seconds after start up.. i cannot see from above any leaks, and from underneath I cannot really see anything as theres not much room... what could be...

I had a look around the bay and underneath, and its leaking water and dripping down on the box to the rear of the transfer box underneath, cant really tell where its leaking from...heater? inlet gasket? Gonna give Fortune a call tommorow.. they charge £60 an hour labour I think anyway

Yeah I think my car will be going to Fortune 4x4 as there only 5 minutes from my girlfriends.. need the inlet manifold gasket changing I think (well thats what I'm hoping to find out today)
