Thread: And it keeps on coming

Did I say it keeps on coming.

Bent conrod, not from me, from previous meathead.

Recore radiator.

There goes Christmas.

gees Simon,,,



the bent rod--
did it idle funny?
something fairly serious to bend a rod--

and the radiator?
its overheated in its past life as well???

Have a feeling that there isn't much that hasn't gone wrong with my Defender in the time before it came to me.

2 Head grinds according to Graeme Cooper.

I've got a good secondhand conrod if you need one Simon, I've already had to split up the set of 4 anyway, so no probs there.
PM if you need details

Phantom coolant loss.

So, had the Defender back for less than two weeks with new head. Apparently losing coolant through exhaust, 'cos we can't find a leak anywhere else.

I'm in Hobart for the week hoping it's fixed by the time I get back.

Mechanic didn't sound too jolly when I called, can't imagine why.

Ooh yeah, go for those easy, reliable, electronic free diesels.

I'm thinking we need a competition for Land Rover owner with the worst problems.

Needs a serious prize too.
