Hi! Yet again, another problem with the P38. Loosing coolant this time. The heater stopped giving hot air 4 weeks ago, checked the coolant level to find the header tank empty, it took 3 litres to fill it. Can't remember when I last checked it prior to this though, prob
2 months ago, was fine then. Couldn't see any external leaks, so kept using the car. Re-checked the coolant 2 weeks later, it required another 1 litre. Driven it now about 250 miles since and it's not lost anymore, so far. I've checked the obvious, loose hoses etc, nothing. I've also done the "radiator hose squidge test" when the engine was hot, and they are not presurizing, hopefully indicating that the head gaskets are OK. Don't tell me, it's gonna have a cracked block? It's booked in for an "exhaust gas in coolant" check and a coolant presure test next week, the independant LR dealer says a cracked block can be sealed with some sort of special sealer, which they can do. Anyone had any experience of this, and does it last?Cheers!
