Replaced the head gasket on my discovery after it broke down and I was advised on this site that was what it probably would be, and thankfully it was!
It now starts and runs (a bit smokey just now cos of all the water that was in the cylinders I guess) but the water is coming out of the expansion tank cap as it appears to be under too much pressure. Engine is quick to heat up to the middle of the guage and then just stays there. I've drained the system,and re-filled it and it's still the same, only thing is the heater doesn't get warm even though the engine's hot now. Thought it could be an airlock and that's why I drained it and re-filled it but it's still the same and I ran the engine with the caps off the top of the thermostat and radiator hoping this would cure it but it hasn't. Is there any other bleed points or ways to get rid of the airlock if that's what it is that's causing the problem?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm desperate to get to drive it again!
Cheers, Tam
