Disco 300 Tdi, Ah well, towing the caravan we've had two instances in the last week or so when the engine temp gauge has moved above horizontal, but immediately dropped down to normal when slowing down or cresting the hill, so with the hot weather we didn't think much of it and there are no external signs of impending doom anywhere. This time it just kept going hotter and hotter, very quickly, so pulled onto hard shoulder with coolant pissing out of system. Seems like it's pressurised the cooling system and just blown all the coolant back out through the expansion tank vents.
Just when we need it for the next four weekends and when I can't fix it myself so it has to go into the garage later today ... I'd guess expensive ... :(
Isn't it typical, I can change things like the bumpers and bloody tyres no worries, but when it's something major I have no time, so it'll cost lots, Murphys law I guess.
I is not a happy man at the mo'.
