Don't know if anyone can help but I would be very grateful of any suggestions.
I've just bought the above Range Rover with overheating problems, stupid I know!
If you keep the heater on full the guage stays around half way, usually (Though not always?) when you stop the heater it raises to three quarters, sits a while and will slowly creep into the red unless the heater is turned back on.
I have had the temperature sensor replaced, along with the thermostat (Heater blows hot and cold as it should). I've had the radiator flushed and the coolant came out clean and quickly which I'm told suggests is wasn't a blockage, it was also checked for air locks at the time. The oil and water are not mixing and I don't appear to be losing coolant... It does not over heat at idle even without the heater on, I would suggest it starts getting hotter at around 2500 revs. There is a slight misfire though and the exhaust fumes smell a little rich though I could be wrong. Getting an average of around 12mpg around town if its relevent...?
Pleeeaaaasssseee help me before I commit suicide!!! lol
