It was a Nissens one from 10, maybe 12 years ago. Looking at the prices those ally Direnzo ones are near enough the same price as aftermarket. My concern is it is only 2 core and someone on here once said the Land Rover original ones were 4 core? Direnzo is £200 whereas Land Rover is £775...

Head overtemp alarm went off on the way home but needle bang on 12 o'clock. Reversed into the drive to clouds of white steam - sh1t! Radiator cracked along the top and ****ing coolant. That's a Nissens one that has been on maybe 10 years.

So you're thinking head gasket?!

Like a P38A but everything is a little higher.

Not sure. He has his own Range Rover forum which is more technical with no banter.

No, he's lived there before. I think his father might still be there.

MoT passed although a couple of advisories. Track rod is apparently a tad loose. It isn't that old and it was Lemforder. Disappointing.

He went to NZ in 2020 and hasn't been seen since. He's marty_nz on RR.net.

Just leaks slower when not pumping?

@Marty_uk has been known to fix them but I don't think he's in the UK at the moment. @Rick-the-Pick is the gold standard.

There's a yellow seal on that one. Couldn't see one on its own from eBay. I might have to contact someone like Charles and see if I can buy a few.

I do know that Marty has repaired several WABCO D ECUs. A search of his past posts might even reveal what it was he did. He did mention the issue never seemed to occur on Wabco C models.

Started smelling oil while driving so popped the bonnet. That damn cover on the auxiliary belt tensioner has fallen out letting oil out of the engine and liberally splashing it everywhere using the spinning belt. Already nicked one off the scrapper when this last happened a few years ago...

Having gone balls-deep into the engine there's no way I would risk using head-bolts unless it was a scrapper. Or the camshaft one. Seems they put these bolts where they know you won't risk it!

My ABS sensors go into a little mesh bush which sits almost flush with the hole. Is that a rubber bush on yours? Maybe the Thor was different.
