    TD5 Head Replaced but nothing wrong with IT

    About 2 years ago my TD5 defender was using water the botle would go down a inch so I would top it up only to have it go down a inch again and it would leak out the cap when it was at the right level
    so I asked a land Rover center and was told the head is gasket would be leaking
    but when thay puled it down and got the head checked thay recon it was stuffed when I picked up the truck I got my head back and after looking at it for the last 2 years and reading this site about water leavels going down a inch and no more it got the better of me So I got it checked again
    and you guessed it nothing wrong not a thing
    now I dont know wether to ring them and go crook or what cos last time I was there I got told I needed a new turbo but be fore I did any thing I looked in hear did some reserch and found it to be faulty plugs and its fixed $24 for a can of contact cleaner and half a weekend sure beats $3000 for a new turbo at least I have learnt one thing ask lots of Qs before handing over your hard earned $$$$

    when they pull that one on you you take it back every month and demand a new head because this new one is obviously cactus as well...

    scribe the head so they cant do a pretendy on you.
