Good news!!
came home and stripped all the gubbins off the top of engine so i could get in closer and the source of the water leak turns out to be the little metal pipe that goes into the head between water pump and what im guessing is the thermostat housing? is held in by one bolt so im hoping its just a case of replacing an O ring unless theres meant to be a gasket in there? anyone know any different?
Also discovered that the head looks brand new....or to have been replaced very very recently despite me having no paperwork to back this up its blatantly obvious its not been on there long...wonder what happened there...looked like it would have been expensive anyway...
In other news i do have the old blue dot reciever under my back shelf so blue wire duly disconnected till i can get my hands on a green dot one
Going back to the spring/bag conversation the springs and shocks ive got on there are rock hard,had the trailer on there yesterday with a car on it and the rangey didnt drop an inch,if anything it was picking the front pair of wheels on the trailer off the floor at times lol but its apparently adjustable so i might try and bring it down at a later date
Don't buy a new RF receiver off Ebay, they can be an old receiver in a new box. The part number you need is YWY500170
Cheers datatek,im assuming i got to go to landrover for that?
You are right about the eas ride,it is lovely,springs are noticeably different as in a lot firmer but i dont think it helps that mine is at its highest setting,i think itll improve if i bring it down a bit,it tends to find the tracks in the road a lot more than the others i drove too which can make for an interesting drive given the state of some of our roads at the moment lol
Can't help feeling you're going to see an osteopath with springs that hard. Reminds me of a hard-tailed chopper (motorbike) I once rode-for half a mile, never again.

the oil cooler you replaced, was it the gearbox oil cooler?
if it was, i suggest you urgently check the gear box oil,
i had a "minor" leak on my 99, 4.6 hse, cost me a lot of
hard earned with g/box repair,
nb, i only know my RR, so what the oil burner type have
i don't know, just sayin'
