Good afternoon all,

I must admit I haven't been on this website in over 8months!!!

Been having a lot of problems unfortunately family, health and Land Rover head gasket,

I kept the Landy off the road during these months as I was using my Grandads Navara,

I'm pleased to say the Landy now runs and I can't quite remember how long it took for it to overheat but I did 50miles the other day and it didn't go over halfway and it didn't lose any water,

However the top pipe still felt a little stiff? Is this normal and can I happily say the Landy is fixed?

Thanks Matthew
 
After 50 miles the top hose should be like a softer tennis ball, make sure that the tank's cap is well tightened, the gauge is not the best to rely on cos it goes to the middle at 70*C and stays there up to 120... if you have aircon and the electric fan will be on after you turn ignition off then you have a problem cos it means that the coolant temp was above 110*C while driving

Sorry late reply, it stills seems stiff to me but it's not overheating, I had it running at 2500-3000rpm for over an hour last night and it didn't loose any water and didn't overheat?

It's really starting to confuse me whether it's fixed or not :/
 
Leave it alone ! when it's cold you should be able to squeeze it together when hot it's under pressure so you shun't be able to :rolleyes:

Yes when it's cold the pipe can be squeezed very easily and I seem to remember that last time I could take the cap off the expansion bottle and there would still be pressure there yet now there isn't
