Hi,

My partner bought me a 1997 Range Rover P38 4.6HSE Auto with a Zavoli LPG System fitted for my birthday

The problem now is that it's started over heating:crutch:

I've replaced the following:

• Thermostat
• Water Pump
• Fan Coupling
• Header Tank Cap

With no evail, I've asked various garages on the Isle of Wight, and there are not many that will touch a V8 never mind one with a LPG system fitted.

So, far I've been quoted a minimum of £1100 for a rebuild.

My Question to you fellow L.Rover 4x4, is that now I thinking of swapping engines for a Chevy 5.7ltr V8.

Has anyone done this fitment before? Does anyone know of any good websited that can help me? Is it a wise decision or should I just rebuild the V8?

The car has had alot of money spent on it from the previous owner like:

• Full Stainless Steel Exhaust with Large Bore Exhaust
• 23" Alloy Wheels with New Rubber Boots
• Tinted Windows all Round
• Rear Tailgate Spoiler
• Every Electrical Item Works including:
• Air Suspension
• Heated Electric Seats
• Sunroof
• Alarm System
• Original Radio and CD Multi Changer with Steering Wheel Controls
• Air Conditioning with Climate Control

Your opinions would be greatfull.

Thanks

Paul

Have you checked the air bleed pipe and needle?

Top right of the radiator to the header tank, needle is moulded into the header tank and may need a compressed air line to clear if blocked.

Hi Listerdiesel,

Have had a look at the pipe running from the radiator to the header tank, when you rev the car to 2000 to 2500 rpm there is a steady stream comming through.

So, I guess its a engine swap or rebuild.

Does the coolant smell of lpg or petrol

No neither of them, just smells of coolant very hot and steamy coolant
