Hi all,
had my 1994 Discovery 1 2.5ltr Diesel TDi for 8 months and she's been a goliath of a machine for us...until yesterday returning from a week away with the family, northbound on the M5 just before Bristol, the temp guage shoots up and the white smoke presents itself from under the bonnet.
Been looking at it this morning expecting to find a ruptured pipe (or hoping) but no, it seems that the pressure isn't being generated through the system. Turning the engine over makes the water push back through expansion tank cap straight away. I know that when cold everything should push through the engine even with all the caps off so it can bleed but it's back pressuring. The engine itself sounded rough when i turned it over too.
My theories are a blockage somewhere, failed or failing water pump or a failed or failing head gasket
has anyone else experienced this or comfortable with saying what it could be? I love this car and want it fighting fit a.s.a.p.
cheers
