Thread: Discovery TD300 temperature problem

Hi, got home from tip today and temp skyrocketed, no warning, went from beautiful to blowing out steam, allowed the engine to cool, refilled coolant system as per manual, start engine, runs nice, put reservior cap back on and pressure builds up and water starts coming out of cap, also coolant line for Auto wore through, are they related or have we been welocmed to the world of blown head gasket?

Auot had been delaying its engagement into drive and reverse from initial takeoff for a couple of days, and its really funny that we were aware of a leak in fluid somewhere when we took it into get Auto recently serviced. We bought our concerns to the Auto Mechanic, and it would seem our standard must have been higher than that of a professional! Too many mechanics think leaks are just part and parcel wuth the Landrover and will just glance and think "thats normal".
