i have a V6 with suspected HG Failure (bubbling in expansion tank) have taken to local garage who tell me that local Landrover agent (Webbers) suggest they "dont touch it as they (Webbers) will always replace the engine" because "as soon as you remove the heads, the liners move and it is never right again". Having had a HGF two years ago,
What are your thoughts on this?
Do I replace the complete lump?
Replace the HG's and pray?
Replace the HG's and get shot to some other unfortunate?
Send the engine to an Engine Specialist and have it rebuilt?
Chuck it in the dustbin?
Try changing the lump to a TD4?
Any ideas or experts wanting to volunteer?
(even more gold pieces for you Clutchdust?)

The Mad Hat Man said:not sure its easier - and a lot more expensive. Bear in mind OAT aint cheap - so drain it all down (not sure how yu get it ALL out) and refill with £70 worth of NPG.
where are you gonna get two cooling pumps, all the fittings and get it done for £70? Although I agree an electric additional cooling pump which assists the normal one and runs after engine-offf till temp comes down to (say) 80C should kill the overheating probs ( and who knows - maybe HGF as well)
