    oil in the thermstat TD5 II

    Hi I have just managed to get my old thermostat out. The car had been overheating. I found the radiator was cold and it was using a lot of coolant. I tracked down some leaks, due to loose clips and at the time didn't know the correct procedure to get the air out of the system. On removing...

    Td5 Coolant System Pressurised - Radiator Cold but Top Hose Hot - Temp+Heater Normal

    Hi all I'm having problems with my 1999 Td5 Disco's cooling system which I can't seem to fix, (or diagnose correctly for that matter) The symptoms include a build up of excess pressure that causes the top hose to swell and become very hard and not easy to squeeze at all. Even after being...

    1.8 Thermostat Mod - can you test them?

    Hi all, We've acquired, very cheaply, a 2001 1.8K Freelander with 98,000 miles on the clock - it was cheap enough to take the risk, though there's next to no history available. It's had the thermostat mod fitted some time in the past, and runs well, but the engine is very poor at warming up...
