Damn near every single one has blown head gaskets.
Wholesalers are trying to sell them off as just needing thermostats.

WTF!

 

Don't do it I just purchased a Land Rover and after fighting with it and two repair shops i am $3000 in the hole and it still doesn't run without over heating. I hate where i live. Dumb, dim witted, knuckle dragging slack jaw SOB. I am done with it. Three weeks of my life. I look forward to buying a stick of TNT and stuffing it in the gas tank and watch it burn.

 

Have you tried getting in touch with the guys from CROC for a reputable shop reference or maybe even some garage help for beer/pizza?
