    BEAR IS BROKEN!!

    Went to servo filled Bear up
    checked all fluids (as I do at least once a week)
    Headed towards Adelaide and 10 k later Bear was sluggish
    temp just under centre. No lights etc
    stopped and checked under bonnet .. can hear the water in the hoses boiling!!!

    Checked overflow and there was less oil in the water when the Exxon Valdez went down

    So BEAR is now home and I called Lr assist
    they‘ll collect him tomorrow and full lift to Adelaide to Solitaires to see what happens..

    I fear the worst. so anyone else had this occur?
    I have had all recall etc work done so hoses all appear intact..

    what is the go..and how long does it take as I‘m pretty stuffed for a car while its gone!
    (And HANS has no brakes at the moment!)

    Very depressed at the mo..
    (And wasted 4 tickets to Afl now)

    This was about to disappear to page two of the general stuff. Thought I'd bring it back to the top. Probably should post this in the appropriate vehicle forum (110 defender I presume) to get tech assistance. Sorry cannot help you myself. All the best though. Reference to exxon was scary...

    If Bear is a 2012, then at least he's still under warranty. However, oil and water together sounds head gasket-like and unlikely to be a 5 minute fix.

    Bummer.

    Wow, for such a new vehicle this is very odd.

    Maybe have to scrounge the ford forums to see if they have had problems. Will have a scour around today if i get time and report back.

    Im also replying to have this on my easy reference postings so i can follow your progress. Good luck and im sure you can scalp your AFL tickets.

    Perhaps this is the best outcome! You'll get a new engine. Much better than a slight fault that lingers for ever and never gets fixed - like overheating on hills etc.
