The internet is a fickle beast!!

Hey Taffy - Did you ever sell your 110?

Thanks Flossie. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

...and now the low oil pressure light is coming on when the engine gets warm. Oil level is normal and it's currently running fine. Now what?

New pump installed and all is well. Thanks for the assistance!

After a search in the 19J section, I was unable to find an answer, so here goes. My 1987 LR 90 developed a coolant leak last week and I topped up the expansion tank. After driving it to work and back (4 miles), the expansion tank is bone dry. I traced the dripping coolant and the leak seems...

I’ll try that in the morning. Thanks

I thought the same thing at first but it is damp on the other side as well.

I just picked up my 1987 Land Rover 90 from the garage last week after they replaced the cylinder head and head gasket. The rocker cover and head were dry on the outside for the first couple days but I noticed today that it was damp like there has been some oil seepage from the HG. I’m not...

I was told the hairline crack in the old head can't be seen with the naked eye. Does that sound legitimate?

Here are a few pics from my visit to the garage. Mechanic said that there were two issues which led to the blown HG. 1- when the last mechanic replaced the head gasket in January of this year, he did not scrape off all the remnants of the old head gasket before replacing with the new one...

A hairline crack was discovered in the head. I guess that could explain why this HG blew so quickly. Now the garage is looking for a replacement. Of course, I'm losing sleep over how the price is going to skyrocket

The number is currently 879 but I am comfortable with the attention to detail that the mechanics are giving it. They sent it off yesterday to skim the head and it will hopefully be put back together by the weekend. I certainly hope this is the last of the major issues for at least a couple...

Now to guess the final cost!

I'll take note of that marty! I enjoy doing some work myself but this all happened two days before I had to leave for Germany for a work trip and it's probably above my level of expertise (and available tools) at this point. Thus far, they conducted a pressure test, skimmed the head, replaced...

Here is a picture of the blown HG. I was just going through the service history of the vehicle and the HG was also replaced in January 2017, six months before I purchased it. Should I assume it was just a shoddy mechanic who did the previous repair or is it a deeper issue? I'm going to have...

Like a bunch of cash dipped in disappointment . I wish I knew enough to be able to say what it was, but it did not smell like fuel to me and I can't really say if it smelled like coolant either. Keep in mind that I have driven petrol vehicles my whole life and this is my first diesel.

Suspected HG but the garage is conducting pressure test to confirm. This is gonna get expensive!

I'm still waiting for the garage to give me a call. It was in the queue all day and hopefully I'll know tomorrow

Thanks James. You've been helpful from starter install to this new adventure.
