    Head gasket replacement cost?

    I'm finally facing the fact my head gasket is going on my Disco V8. I've thought it has for a while, but the more coolant I'm using coupled with a few other tell tale signs, I think it now needs sorting. The car is a 2002 Dicovery 2 V8 with 125,000 miles. As I'm not THAT mechanically minded...

    Coolant Levels?

    Hi, I have a V8 Disco, the coolant level appears to fluctuate, sometimes I will go to the car and it is pretty low, not empty however. Then other times will be fairly high. Is this normal? Can see no apparent leaks and done the usual checks for HG failure. Just curious really. Thanks Ryan

    Disco 2 V8 engine management light

    Hi just collected my new disco 2 v8 and drove it back over 150 miles with no issues. Only thing is, when I got it, it was really low on fuel, to the point it felt it nearly cut out when getting into the fuel station. I fuelled it up and drove it back and the engine management light came on...
