hi everyone im new to landyzone but not new to landrovers however i am new to freelanders
Iv just brought a 2002 freelander 1.8 es with the head gasket gone iv done the headgasket brilliant runs fine however i am having some problems withthe cooling system it all gets warm inside heaters temp gauge stays spot on where it should be all the time but i have a problem withthe bottom half of the rad staying cold if not most of the rad and i mean its bone cold and the bottom hose that gose on to the inline thermostat the stat and pipes before it are red hot as they should be the pipe in to the bottom of the rad and the bottom 3/4 of the rad are cold.
I have changed the stat and made sure the dummy stat is fitted on the back of the water pump the waterpump is brand new the only thing i can think of is if the rad is blocked has any one else had this problem iv blead the system 5 or 6 times and got no air out.
The top hose after a 30 min drive are quite pressured up not solid still squeezable but u can feel there is pressure there.
any help would be most appreciated many thanks dale
