yup, took in excess of 4 litres of water through the screw

went from my sisters to the indian take away 3 miles away, needle off the scale before i'd even left the drive...

can't get to the radiator at the minute, have winch in the way lol. Will investigate further when/if i get it home tomorrow. Was a bearmach one. god knows lol, again, will have a proper look in daylight.

just driven it 16 miles, needle was up to the top a lot of the time, cold heaters, and the rest of the time, it was sitting in the middle and I had lovely warm heaters. Gauge is all over the shop. After the drive, engine felt normal to the touch...

well, ran it to temp, took it on a 3 mile drive and the temp gauge is up in the red again.

Can anyone shed any light on whats caused this. Bit of a run down but after hearing a dry rumbling noise and finding water underneath the front passenger side we renewed the water pump. That was last week, since then it's been used twice for about 10 miles. Every so often the heater stops...

To me, when the snow falls and people need help, I'll be out there helping out. I won't be found on a forum picking at taxi work.

Yup, i found that. My frontera was never good enough for them, even after pulling out a stuck tricked up defender. What was evident was those at the top owned land rovers that were generally less than 5 years old, waffled on about who should be doing what and when, but no one actually saw them...

I think a lot of it is perspective. MRT, SAR, lifeboats, 4x4 groups. People join thinking they're going to helping out in life and death situations. Think is with 4x4 response groups it turns into taxi runs.

Yup, all we asked for was fuel. Some people were greedy. The last shouts i dealt with before we set up the new group involved he transportation of a nurse. I had to drive from Grimsby to Boston, back to Alford then back to Grimsby. Was over 100 miles, annoyed me as roads were clear and nurses...
