Hello,
Has anybody come across this solution.
My range rover p38 overheats sometimes and there is no patern to when it happens except that it usualy plays up when im dress up smart and going out and don't want to get dirty.
I'll stop the car take off the resevouir cap. when the car is still quite hot keeping the car running and top up the lost water with fresh....result...the car runs fine for about a couple of months then then overheats once again.
Iv'e been told to drill a 8mm hole in the caseing of the therostat and that will do the job. The thermostat is new and has been in the car four six months. I've just received a new thermostat in the post and after putting it in boiling water it failed to open, i tried this three times.same result.
How do i stop my car from overheating.
Im off to devon soon 300mile trip.....a bit worrying
Any good advice.
Mike.
