yes it looks like it's not the head gasket. So after spending a packet on other new components, only to fix the original misfire I now have a different problem, overheating and it looks like more than I expected and may be the cylinder head. So before I put it back together if anyone is interested it's on eBay. Just want to get rid now, I will lose a packet & it will be a great buy for someone in parts value alone. So if you are interested here is the link

Range Rover 2.5 DSE 1998 on eBay (end time 24-Jan-11 16:46:33 GMT)

forgot to add it comes with a Faultmate, also software & cable for EAS & of course an unused set of gaskets & head bolts. And a camchain tool.

Should have put the faultmate up for offer on here, Im sure someone like me would have been interested...?

surely bmw cylinder heads are easy to come by, have you had the original head pressure tested?

That's a shame, it looks like a nice car.

It would be locked to the car VIN so you would have to buy the licences which are the expensive bit

sassanach · Jan 18, 2011

well did the op see sense or did it sell?

nisbeam · Jan 18, 2011

eBay have removed my item from sale because I used naughty words "make me an offer" and this breaches their rules & implies I want to sell outside - I didn't.
However I now have to take their 15 minute on-line tutorial if I want to re-list - who do they think they are ffs

Yes the Faultmate would have to be unlocked so it's hardly worth it to be honest.

sassanach · Jan 18, 2011

so are you having second thoughts or is it still for sale?(personally if i was the op i would take a couple of days to calm down.

nisbeam · Jan 18, 2011

sassenach, you are right I should take a couple of days. But as I only have a few hours a week to work on it it has taken me a few weeks to get this far, so am a bit fed up. However I may put it all back together and try some of this SteelSeal head gasket fix and repair product fixes blown headgaskets & Cracked Blocks
you never know it might work.
