Yes, there is air in the cooling system and its pressurising but only under load and it’s getting worse. However it will till over all day without problem, no white smoke and no coolant loss. Even the heater has started to blow warm when ticking over so coolant is circulating until the pressure...

Hi Peter Thanks for your speedy reply I’ve read you rebuild thread from start to finish previously, and your apparent success is one of the reasons vie decided to go down the short motor route. Like yours mine is in fantastic condition with the exception of the cooling/heating...

Advice V8 Short motor 2000 4.0L Auto After spending BIG £s on head gaskets, radiator, water pump ECT. I’ve give in to the inevitable that my block is porous! Not that is makes much difference but the liners definitely haven’t slipped. After much deliberation I’ve decided the cars is worth...

Thanks you’ve just made my day! I was starting to feel better and that it had to be a cheap fix gas there is nothing left to change! However mines been stripped (well the heads have been off and the gaskets done) and I’m assured from the local independent who did them that the liners haven’t...

The inlet hose for the matrix comes from the inlet manifold, and I’m pretty sure there is no restriction anywhere in the system, it’s been flushed it really well in every direction including being run with Wynn’s coolant system flush in From what I know and have found out the...

I’ve disconnected both the inlet and outlet to the heater matrix and connected to a garden hose and flushed in both directions and the flow is good and water coming out has no contaminants.

Hi smurphy NO, new genuine water pump and like you I still have the same problem? I’ve also tried another new thermostat but still no change. I’m completely stuck, unless I have porous block problem which I doubt as I have never heard of a 4.0l with block problems then I don’t know what it...

HELP IM STUCK After having both head gaskets done, fitting a new thermostat and flushing and bleeding the cooling system twice I still can’t get my heater to blow hot unless I rev the engine!! What’s worse its starting to get hot!! For story so far please see This thread Today I fitted a new...

Quick update Seen as the water pump looks relatively new I changed just the thermostat this morning (cheapest option first). However this hasn’t made any difference the heater still blows cold when engine is ticking over! So my next question is Is it possible for the water pump to be weak, so...

Thanks for the input. Water does seem to be circulating ok I disconnected a heater pipe with the engine running and the flow looked good, and as the engine heats up the pressure builds nicely top hose get hot and hard? The pump doesn’t look that old (I’ve owned the car 8 month) but will...

2000 V8 Discovery 2 NO LPG I’m having problems getting my heater to constantly blow hot air whilst the engine is ticking over. Blows nice and hot when engine is revved but within 30seconds of dropping down to tick over heater starts blowing cold no matter what setting the climate control is on...

That vid made my misserable day ****ed myself!!! Thanks

No ideas?

It does look nice; I love the look of the face lifted model. But it also looks expensive, and considering you can add the same head lights to a car a year younger and at least 2k cheaper for about £300 and get a very similar look, I would find it hard to spend an extra 2-3k. But it does look...

I was lucky as the guy I bought it off dealt in newer 4x4s and prestige motors only and took this in px and just wanted it out of the way so I got it for 4.2k by the way it was first registered on 24/12/2000 so it’s almost a 2001. It just shows they are out there if you look long and...

Not sure what the colour is actually called but is a metallic blue almost turquoise Is the extra money justified? I don’t thinks so. I too was looking for a later model possibly post facelift but I’m more than happy with mine. And it came with a private plate so no one knows the...

Nik 6 month ago I was in the same situation you are in now, Range Rover or Discovery? Diesel or Petrol? Auto or Manual? In the end I opted for a 2000 Discovery 2 V8 ES Auto and I love it!! I was swung towards petrol for the extra power and Auto as its easier to drive and a Discovery...

Hi all I’m looking for a code reader to use on my Discovery 2 V8 and understand that Nanocom can be used but with limited functions, but I can’t find any info on how limited. Has anyone used a Nanocom on a V8 and if so what function did you have? Will it read all codes that aren’t engine...

Right, i think i have cured this with a simple change of the expansion tank cap!! discool got me thinking with I now have a HOT heater all the time not just when accelerating. Thanks discool BUT I have noticed a rushing water type sound coming from the heater matrix when pulling away? Does...

Hi I’m having problems with the heater with my Discovery 2 V8 heater, it works fine when the car is moving or the engine is revved over 1000rmp but just blows cold if the engine is ticking over? As you can guess this isn’t good given current climate I have bleed the system and am pretty sure...
