thanks mate. Very helpful. yes, I know coolant is pink....!!! I was saying in regards to the fact that it isnt 'rusty' coloured or off pink which would either mean that the garage changed the coolant just before I got it... or that the coolant isn't mixing with exhaust gases. Although I realise...

That's some comfort then! cheers mate. I'm going to buy a coolant exhaust gas tester thingy if I cant get it done at the garage when I rock up tomorrow!! will post back. Are there any good guides on here for doing the Disco TDi head gasket? I need to assemble a tools list in case of bad news lol!

Good ideas there. Cheers fella. I will see what pressure is in there in the morning. As an estimate does anyone know how long a Head Gasket should take 1: a competent-ish home mechanic 2: a land rover indy I've got a bad feeling about this.... and want to prepare myself!! I was...

Cheers. I've managed to find the bleed procedure document after a few more searches on here. Will go out and try this now......

My vin number falls within the SLAB recall listed numbers (1999 Discovery TD5 GS)... are Land Rover still obliged to do the replacement if its not been done already? (free!!) cheers

ps - I see a couple of you guys are from Sheffield! Can you recommend any good Discovery/landy repair people? I need to get the codes pulled and might get them to replace ABS sensor while they have it!! The only place I know of is Doug Dransfields, no idea what they are like though and I prefer...

Cheers guys! Seems a friendly place!

Cheers for the welcome chaps ;) Don't worry funkykipper, I've searched loads!! Got a good idea of what I need to do! Just need to find someone who has a landy code reader up round my way!

Just to say what a great forum you guys have got here and I am pleased to be here as a new Discovery TD5 owner :D (not a new car, just new to me). Love the car so far. Even though I have the 3 amigos to sort out ! Will post about that in the tech forum though! cheers
