Hi
Got a 4.6 P38 that I've just bought.
Previous owner reckons the head gasket is gone.
Car is leaking a red-ish fluid and the exhaust is blowing a white smoke.
Can't tell if it's running rough because this is my first land rover, so I don't know what they're like.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Pull out the plugs one by one and see if they are steam cleaned if you find one, gasket has gone on that cylinder.
