The Range Rover’s incontinence has become a recurring theme in this project, and this instalment is no different. When I left you last time, I had a large coolant leak develop on my way home from Avenger 4x4’s work on my brakes.
And it was properly big. The thirty-fourmile journey back to Avenger 4x4 from my house was one I perhaps foolishly chose to attempt to do without the aid of a low-loader. It took 35 litres of water even with the expansion cap off, most of which was coming out almost before it went in. I’m hopeful it hasn’t led to any lasting damage, but we will have to see...
When it let go this time I was at a loss as to why, with members of Facebook groups advising that my water pump had had it (no obvious leak), that various coolant hoses were to blame, and that – in one case – it could be the valley pan gasket. The frequency of the water pump suggestion meant I ordered one anyway – while I doubted it, I have been known to be fallible before
