Always use gen LR gaskets & head bolts

In this day and age unfortunately what is in the genuine Land rover head gasket bin at the dealers may well be cheap Chinese shite. A named brand like Payen or Reinz maybe a better bet.

Indeed, that's very true. My mech was moaning the other day about the dubious origin of many LR dealer parts lately. He does insist on quality parts of known origin though unless a customer supplies their own parts. I got a slap on the wrist for using the throttle body heater plate from island as they are apparently Britpart.
 
It appears the source of my blown HG was a stressed / stripped head bolt thread in the block. Now having to helicoil.......will this ever end :mad:
 
Finally got told that the company who broke my truck have accepted full liability for the damage. Which is nice as it turns out that the wheels aren't holding air, which is nice as Land Rover don't supply them anymore. Here is hoping they are repairable. But things should be happening in the next few days to put her back on the road. :D

Fitted my new air compresser pump thanks to Kurt, I know have x2 spares 1i refurbed my self after the bearing let go and sent metal into the eas diaphragm and a 2nd which I bought shortly after getting the car.

Buy a fire extinguisher. :D:D
 
Nice. Hadn't been there before. Like the John Deere but given where I live I have to support New Holland. If I can just slide one of them under the bonnet I should get some serious torque ...
JD are over priced and break down often. Hew Holland better value and don't break down as often
 
Sorry I am late to the V8 bashing, I have a derv so just got home. Ha! Another broken V8. Sucks to be you... am I doing it right?
