....for anyone who's keeping count. just got V6 (2001 - 40k) back from garage and after extensive tests searching for the coolant "leak"...there isnt one. No clear evidence of a HGF either, but with some steam still coming from exhaust after half hour of running and consulting LR, it looks like cracked block...or perhaps HGF after all. They also say LR are asking customers to sign a disclaimer for HG repairs as 50% apparently come back after 6 months. Sick, ****ed off...REALLY ****ed off and considering how to get rid of this sack of ****....All this in a week when the tailgate window started to misbehave and the sunroof mechanism jammed. My days on this forum are therefore numbered. Thanks to all who have helped with glitches along the way.
Another V6 bites the dust

Yu cant knock his patriotism, Mondeo - he bought British - didnt he - yu cant expect him to keep pouring money in good after bad - yu bin reasonably lucky - but yu got probs too - if yours carries on like the last two months for the next year - I bet yu will be seriously considering junkin' it. lets hope it dont! (knuckles feelin' betta?)
