    discovery 2 2002 top radiator hot, bottom cold

    Hello, On my Discovery 2, 2002 top of the radiator is hot, bottom is cold (not cooler than the top, but literally cold) after any time of driving. Same for coolant hoses - bottom one coming from the radiator into the thermostat is cold, top ones hot and pressurized. Not swelling but fairly...

    Correct coolant for 3.9 V8

    Hello, Can anybody give me a straight answer as to the coolant that should be in my 1990 Range Rover Classic 3.9? I understand about various inhibitors that combat corrosion in these aluminium-based engines. I had my coolant flushed and changed and a well-known 4x4 garage said, glibly, that...

    Defender Td5 coolant change

    Hi all, I have a 2002 Td5 which is due a service. I haven't changed the coolant in the 7 years I've owned it, as there is a sticker in the engine bay which says something like, 'Land Rover Coolant: do not drain'. I'm starting to get the feeling that I should change it, as I change our...

    Freelander td4 2004 radiator fan cuts in at 65c and coolant never goes above 80

    Hi All, As the title explains, I have a 2004 Freelander s Td4 with a/c 115k on the clock :freelander:. When the engine coolant reaches 65c the radiator cooling fan comes on at a low/mid speed and stays on (way before it should do). The coolant temp dash gauge (when at 80c) reads half way as it...

    Freelander 2 Coolant Top-up

    Can anyone advise me on how often I should expect to top up the coolant on my Freelander 2. It is seven months old and I have had it less than a month. I have done about 250 miles town driving in it so far and the coolant level has fallen from the mid point between max and min to the min point...

    Oil Cooler or head gasket-really need advice.

    I live in Greece so no local Land rover parts available. Yesterday after driving for 45 min the car lost a lot of power when accelerating. I noticed the temp gauge was at 3/4 way. I pulled in within 1 min. The top hose had burst, plus there was grey oil gunk all over the top of the engine. I...

    Coolant leak and random loss of power

    Hi, I've been experiencing random power loss in my TD5 - particulary when the engine is being made to work a bit hard (e.g. hard acceleration or driving up a steep hill). The engine doesn't over-rev (sits at around 3k rpm), just loses power and makes a louder-than-normal clatter. The problem...

    TD5 leaking coolant

    Hi, I have 1999 Defender with a td5, and I see that I lose about 100ml of coolant every time I start the engine from cold. When the engine is hot, it does not lose any coolant. There is pressure in the coolant system when it is cold. I do not see white smoke. I assume that there is a problem...

    disco 2 v8:new coolant pipes to heater matrix - does the direction make a difference?

    My independent replaced the coolant pipes from the engine to the heater matrix with plain off-the-shelf coolant pipes, but the direction has been reversed. The original pipes have a funny cross in them, and the pipes cross before going to the heater matrix. Will this make a difference? Is the...

    HGF on a 4.6 - time for a new engine. What should I buy?

    Hello lovely people. This time it's serious. Water dropplets coming from exhaust, on both banks and a header tank that looks like a pint of beer (badly poured at that). A fountain of foam coming from the header tank cap, erratic heating and a firm top hose. So either HGF, cracked block...

    Hello all, A couple of questions from a Newbie, please. I've just changed the water pump on my 97 300TDi Disco. After refilling coolant and bringing motor up to normal temperature I noticed that the top rad hose was not hot, and doesn't seem to be full of water. Filled as Haynes told me and am...

    Do you think its the headgasket????

    Hi y'all, I have a 98 Series 1 Disco (3.9 V8). The thing overheated the other day and when I stopped and let it cool down, topped the coolent up, it seemed fine. When I rev the engine the coolent level rises and falls. What do you reckon? I am now slowly losing coolant - but no leak...
