    it can if its preventing the cooling system from purging correctly.

    without the purge line letting the head bleed correctly you can wind up with hot spots in the head that then flash boil the coolant as it circulates....

    That is sadly an expense I cant afford... darn landrover's sent me broke haha. Any money I made offf the parts would go towards a car and even then probably wouldnt have enough.

    lol she doesnt just get the soccer mum crap when my parents drive, she's also a BNS ute, our farm runabout and a mean 4wd whenever I get the chance to pack up and head off... usually has to travel around 500km trips at a minimum once a week to do the shopping as we live a long way from anywhere...
    am not sure a fleabay one would withstand it. How much would I be looking at for a decent one if Dad and i put it in?
