i bought a 1995 p38 range rover 4.0 lpg converted AUTO, of ebay on friday, looked nice, sounded great, being happily driving for 2 days, and then out of the blue, the engine stalled, after about 2 minutes of constant turning over it started.
didnt sound good at all, oil was very low, so topped up to correct amount,
then got to garage to ask for help, (30 second drive away) and he lifted bonnet, steam/smoke escaping, and he topped up the expansion tank, and just as soon as he topped tank up, it was coming out of the bottom of radiator,
so had it towed to a local garage, managed to have it looked at today,
got the phone call about hour ago, he said it has blown out of the bottom radiator, and is split,
THEN he mentioned that the radiator wasnt that old and signs of it being replaced recently,
he said that then system is pressurizing,
in the description to buying it he said it had a new head gasket fitted,
by landrover solutions in canterbury??? have receipts for other work but none for head gaskets,
tried ringing and contacting company but seems like every number is disconnected.
great.
so is there any ideas to what/where/how to figure this.
