What is access like from underneath? I have a pit that I can work from if it's just as easy for me to get in from under the car?
In a word, poor. even worse than from above

The non working cruise control seems an easy fix with regards to an air leak.... An open T piece.

do the rolled newspaper test on the viscous because a duff viscous will certainly lead to overheating.From what I saw last night, the coolant cap is not blowing off and the viscous fan is not very stiff. It felt the same hot as when it was cold. That coupled with the O rings leaking on the heater matrix allowing air in. I am curious if that's doing more to overheat the car.
On a side note I have, all my bloody big spanners have gone missing while I was away... Grrrrr
A hose with a bleed screw should not be necessary, squeezing and releasing the hose rapidly should expel any air.Bit too late at the moment, I'm just about to get the intake manifold off
Whilst it had overheated last night, I switched off the engine and released the pressure. As I was doing that, I span the fan by hand and it felt no different to what it does this morning before starting it to get it to my garage. I popped off the top radiator hose and full of air,along with the radiator.
Does anyone know if you can get a radiator hose with a bleed screw like the freelander has?

I'd put the manifold back, it really sounds like the viscous fan is fecked.
That's exactly my thoughts.Mayonnaise looks bad, but if it's always used on short runs not completely surprising.
That's exactly my thoughts.
Thanks JLR for fitting 12 point bolts on the rocker covers.
No, I've not carried out a compression test yet, it's not been in my possession for 24 hours yet.
I'll buy the interior

Wow the previous owners were big on oil changes and maintenanceI got a bit more work done today, only a few hours.
I've worked out an easy way to get the rusted heat shield bolts out.
A few photo's ok under the rocker covers. very well burnt on crap!
Near side then off side bank
