Looked at a 2006 LR3 TDV6 today and was told by the guy in the garage the head gasket needed replacing. He 'guaranteed the engine was fine other than that though it had no battery and he didn't want to start to in case it would overheat but agreed to do so if i was buying it and test it immediately prior to purchase. Id need it to check suspensions anyway as it was sitting down at the rear. The oil filler cap was clean and the dipstick was pure oil only and no sign of any oil/water grunge. I probably should run mile but ... I always liked them and had a few Discos and am an amateur mechanic so not phased by hard graft. Having read many posts, there seems to be varying trains of thought from hose bleed valves to EGR coolers to thermostat housings or a full bullet head gasket and heads (2 i expect ?).
I would greatly value someones wise advice and direction.
