Hi all Thanks for all the reply's and suggestions and here's where i am at the moment. Pretty certain i don't have a leak, as I have crawled all round underneath both with it running and switched off and cannot find anything, where i park overnight is white concrete and nothing there, also went...

Very good point :), I know on my old 200Tdi the light would come on and if I ignored it would go of again and then come back on 10-15 miles later, just not that brave in this one

Pretty certain no leaks and oil level not gone up or has a "dieseley smell", and also not been chipped, although i have thought about it, just worried fuel consumption will go up even more. kermit rr I get your point about filling it up which i will try but as the fuel light seems to come on at...

When the fuel light comes on i reset the trip mileage, then put in £20 or £40 worth and reset the trip, noting distance to garage (reserve fuel) Then when the fuel light comes back on note the mileage deducting distance to garage. Then convert litres to gallons and divide miles by gallons, I...

Nope i drive it like a old man. and there is no smoke at all. No but the wife says i'm a bit chubby. There are not even any rear seats in it (got 2 large dogs), Bill

Hi all Vehicle is a 2002 Discovery Td5 Auto, not had it long and think the fuel consumption is to high as i'm only getting 12 mpg :eek::eek:. Now i knew it wasn't going to compare with my old 200 Tdi but surely 12 cannot be right, the vehicle has just had a new brand new 15p head and gasket set...

Hi all Well been a hectic few weeks and would like to post this as a big thanks to all the peeps that have given advice, and to say what has happened. After deciding the cause of the coolant being pressurised was the head gasket i booked it into a local Land rover garage for the work to be done...

Hi all Firstly thanks for this , , unfortunately they will take up to 10 days to get to me, asked about quicker but got told no. rang Wurth who are only 40 miles from me and they don't do a kit as such only individual items and unless i can tell them the thread length of the stud they cannot...

Hi, thanks for reply, From what you say I think i will take out as much as i can with a 1mm slitting disc and then a grinder disc for the rest, any special reason why you took out the stud holes to different size's ??. I'm not having any problems with the manifold at the moment but from what i...

Hi all My 2001 Td5 auto is going in for a new head gasket next week, now my question is as above, should i get the manifold dewebed at the same time, and if so what is the best way to do it ??, and does anybody have any photos or diagrams of how they have done there's, don't want to take of to...

Yes I've heard about this, think i need a new thread to try and get some pictures of how to do it, costing enough for the head job as it is

I'm a pritty boy me, worth at least a groat :p

Well my latest update. Stanleysteamer, the address didn't show up, wonder if the site wont allow for some reason ??, but thanks for trying :). Today the kit recommended by Hellastoney turned up i tried it and yes it changed colour, not a lot but enough to make me sweat, just to make sure i...

Yes, not solid but quite firm, going to look on the tinternet now for a cheep sniff tester, looks more and more like headgasket :eek: but need to be sure before spending shed loads of cash

Hi Well todays update, ran engine up to temp from cold with no cap on, both pipes on heater got hot and heater worked fine, pipes were more squishy than with cap on, only thing happening in header tank was a steady stream of water from the return pipe, no other bubbling at all. Put cap back on...

Well todays update, Got a cap from breaker (from running motor) still blows water from overflow, got new cap from Landrover, still blows water from overflow. The pipes are firm but not rock solid, I can squeeze them with a bit effort, the heater works and seems to be o.k, next thing on my list...

Ah right, good to know. No it hasn't overheated (yet) the temp needle sits on the halfway mark, but I'm sure if i didn't keep a close eye on it it would, one strange thing i have noticed is my old 200Tdi used to get to just below the halfway mark then i assume the thermostat opened and it drop...

I assume you mean after it has been run ???, and if so what does that point to ??

Well chaps a update After a lot of time crawling over it and under it after dark with a u.v torch nothing was found, so today i tried this "Secure a bottle over the short overflow pipe on the resevoir and see if it catches the water. If so I think you'll find you need a new pressure cap and it...

"Don't know if I have ever heard of this magic colouring stuff that can even show if coolant is coming out of the exhaust, but i am prepared, as always, to learn something new." Hi thanks for reply and link. Both wurth and ring sell the uv dye, i find the wurth one is best and normally run it...
