    Angry Shot at birth

    2010 it blew both headgaskets the friday before Christmas,
    2013 it dropped two liners,
    Now its 2015 and I believe its bleeding coolant into the combustion chamber when cold.
    26 months and 25K since the 4.6 rebuild.
    This car should have been shot at birth.

    Oh dear ... I could make a smart arsed V8 vs Td5 comment ... but ...

    That's a crying shame it's not a joking matter when **** like this happens.

    I hope your diagnosis is flawed Pete, but the video's pretty condemning!

    If it was a horse ... ?

    Good luck with it.

    Geez Pedro.
    Nothing like a sour lemon to put you off Landys.
    Hope you get it sorted cheaply.Not that there is such a thing.
    I hope you at least stick with the brand if the ride has to go.

    Has it been heaps colder than you are used to Pedro??? Was that on LPG????
    If so get it running on petrol tonite and try it again tommorow and see if its less steamy.
    LPG vehicles blow the most steam in the cold,our diesel utes were steaming like that this morning,but it was -2degC
    If your weather is much colder than you are used too it may be a false alarm.
