    Range rover radiator

    Hi Guys, am in need of some help have a 05 range rover v8 hse. In short for the past 3 years I am having to have my radiator replaced. Without fail within 6 months it springs a leak. Have had a pressure test done on heads came back fine, and had the blue dye done came back all clear from a diffrent mech. But my regular mech is 98% positive its the heads causing the leak. Is there anything else that could be causing it? Have no over heating problems and the car runs like a dream. Any help would be great! Thanks.

    Which engine? BMW M62 petrol?

    If so, what rating is the coolant reservoir pressure cap? It should be a 140kPa cap. Look underneath it. Early cars had a 200kPa cap.

    see the first thread (the sticky) in this section of the forum.

    Its the bmw engine. Original front, no vertical reflector but has place for it, so has a strip place where it could be.
