My classic range rover 3.9 has just started showing signs of leaking headgaskets , using water, over pressurised cooling system.
On another forum i am a member of they reckon rover v8's suffer from cracked blocks behind the liners ?
Wondered if anyone has any experience of this as i thought it only applied to later range rovers ?

My range rover uses water,check the plugs as one of mine goes a little rusty if left for a couple of days.Its more likely to be the head gasket as it was the larger engines that sufered more from leaking past the liners.Try range rover remedies.com as the have a good list of general faults on Rangies  |

Pound to a pinch of sh1t it's a knackered gasket. Oh, and welcome to the forum!!  |

Yep, almost certainly a knackered head gasket... Cheap enough from somewhere like www.paddockspares.com and only takes a couple of hours to do...! For a wealth of RV8 info, go to www.v-8.org.uk |
