To all that posted back in April thank you. Now in funds and not being a spanner chap, I need to find someone preferably in Scotland that can undertake the re-engineering of my engine. I thought I had found a place in Glasgow but have been warned off and am rather uncertain about buying a prior...

Thanks Dan & Moron, rads ok, heat camera indicates reasonable verticals spread of heat and fan is good..the trouble is and this is where the judgment call comes in, those in the trade..say liner..the head may be slightly warped but given the gasket is still intact there would be a slight leak...

Additionally I should probably mention this all happened quite suddenly, hilly route etc. Having just done 1500 miles the prior week with no discernible problem, including London traffic then a 15 hour return to the H&I's

Thanks norseman, sorry not wanting to write too long a post... additional info, flushed the rad, no broken fins or crimped and had a heat sensitive camera on the rad showing graded heat flow vertically. Also a camera in cyl 7 showing white spots on the top of the piston where as the others were...

Hi engine gurus, My 2001 4.6 looks as though it needs replacing with a newer liner fixed unit. Mine is doing, as I now find out, the classic over heating other than when driving on the flat at or under 1500rpm. I've changed the water pump thermostat and expansion bottle cap and bypassed the...

It does I didn't go far enough down the forum page, have now and there is an Engine subgroup...durgh..thanks

Well fingers crossed, I paid £130 at a beakers plus an hour labour so not too hefty. Quick question I posted in the questions discussion part of the site re Engine replacement! Is it the wrong place, being a new boy?!, to get some input..I couldnt seem to post here!

Dan, similar lights came up on mine a few weeks ago leading to no brakes and diagnosed as a failed pump! The man in the independent garage said if the pump doesn't work for a few seconds..or more when ignition turned on its failing..if it is that beware.. A distinct sphincter moment follows...

That's a great heads up thank you i'll call on Monday..cheers

I've been looking; Bilstein c£75 fronts c£65 rears each..Rimmers a whopping £142 & 108..for originals or c £25...am i being a numpty but a third of the others for good kit, can that be true? thanks Orangebean..Brit Car looks the best source but slightly confused of the H&I's .. OPR2 Boge and...

Brilliant thank you and the part numbers too..outstanding..off to source them now

Thank you for your replies and distinct warning as mentioned re who to believe..i'll ask the forum next time! Interesting though until you drive one that's not showing those symptoms what is 'normal' I of course now know..but the technician who used to work on Thor & Gem engines said the black...

A heads up just in case anyone else had the same signs prior to the 'failure' 2001 4.6 with 135k on the clock, with the three lower left lights coming on when applying the brakes, spoke to a couple of folk that said I shouldn't worry, it's probably a small fluid leak in the main pressure...

:D Rick & Wazzajnr, Thank you both, I downloaded the LR P38 1384 page manual! Found where the pipe work went and felt it until I found a crack, replaced it with some rubber pipe I had and hey presto, it worked..so thanks to you and the forum for your assistance..back to 'cruising' around the...

Thank you, un happy coincidence I think, not having used CC for a while prior to flat battery, all other fuse related items working(ish) as normal..is there one thread or post that is best re CC do you know of the top of?

I have a 4.6 2001 MY Vogue, that recently had a flat battery, drove it for the first time in a while a distance and tried CC and it didn't work! I've checked on here and many posts re loss of CC, which I will go back to, but none I could find related to a possible relationship to having recently...

EKA worked...wife suitably impressed with the v8 rumble..just need to source the batteries now, thank you to those for the advice...

Thanks neilly it does have an EKA ...

Thanks so much I have the EKA as a last resort, will try resych..can't believe I've been such a numpty!
