Looks like a weeping head gasket to replace.
Ho hum, here we go into the depths. At least it is pension day,so I might be able to put a deposit on a top end rebuild kit.

At least you will something to do to fill in those long pensioner days

Sorry to hear it, at least it is relatively easy to lift the head - just time consuming. Good luck with it.

Gee, thanks Garry. Can't decide whether to lower the body or raise the engine.
It seems to be a long way down in the engine bay. Oh well, bend ya back me hearty. Off to the parts suppliers again,
And I thought I had put the damn tools away at last.

Hi Shorty
Check ebay out.
there are new old stock overhaul gasket sets advertised regularly.
Just drive around with the radiator cap part off to allow the pressure to vent easily till you can afford to do the job.

Bummer!

Have spent a week of not doing much, whilst waiting on parts.
Weather a little cooler, aftermarket top end kit coming tomorrow.
By weekend, the Landy will be her reliable old self again.

a bottle of chemiweld should have done the trick.....
