Thread: 2013 Range Rover Sport blown head gasket

Hey all
Ok so where to start
While on holidays towing 22ft caravan I got the low coolant light n then engine shut down long story short ended up splitting the plastic cooling part that bolts on under the throttle body
Replaced that and also replaced the thermostat housing refilled with coolant bleed the system a 100 times but just keeps pressurising header tank untill coolant squints out of the cap (hot or on cold start up) SO
I'm 99% sure I have a blown head gasket iv took the car to a few mechanics and all seem to think the same but they are telling me the its goin to be a new /reco engine as they have had motors in the past that machining of the heads or block can't be done
Just don't seem right to me so I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else has had this same issue
TIA

Yes it just had its timing belt changed as part of the major service I got done before we left is there any reason why u can just skim the heads n put a gasket kit on it like the old days with a blown head gasket

It can be done just like any other engine, a mate had his 2.7 done over 2 years ago.
You could try contacting Automotive Skills as they repair these engines.
