Found out the problem with my Landy :)

Head cracked! :(

How this happened, still trying to determine! First thoughts, water shortage, but cetainly not in the last 18mths or so.

It's done less than 2,000 miles since the head was skimmed (supposedly crack and pressure tested) and replaced with new gasket!

Any thoughts most helpful, cheers and I hope your all having better luck.

Hi,

Many thanks for your replies, help and offers.

When the head had problems before, it was taken to a garage recommended by a friend and the RAC. So I can only assume, it was done correctly, Bushmills did the head.

According to the service history, no head problems in the past, in fact overhauled in 2000 when the whole engine was done. It's belt driven.

She's at Keith Gotts now, at least she'll be right after this. But I'll be showing the head to the last mechanics.

Thanks again, Mark
 
Heads can crack when the head gasket goes, so this one could of fractured a while ago and has just split open now.
