Hello new forum friends:

I have an 04 LR Disco II with 120k miles and the SES light came on with the codes P0126 and P0327. So here's the problem: the car was overheating so I had the radiator replaced and then a month ago I had the thermostat replaced except now when I drive the temp. gauge does not stay in the middle, it will drop down to cold while driving, and will raise to the middle, but never above. There appears to be no coolant leaks as I have had the engine resealed and gaskets replaced. So what else needs to be fixed?

Alsok, if anyone is in the market for an 04 Discovery II, Westminster model please buy mine! I love my Rover, but it involves too much repair for me to keep up with.

Thanks!

 

First stop driving it, your temp gauge is moving around because you are low on coolant, most likely never bled or if if it was and now it is low again then you have a serious coolant leak that needs to be check by a shop that knows what they are doing.

 

Thx for the advice. I will take it to the dealership. I know it was probably improperly fixed when the thermostat was replaced. The car overheated next to a gas station and I had the mechanic there look at it since the car was not driveable. At that time the coolant splashed out entirely. However, now I ocassionaly check the coolant and there is coolant in the reservoir. When it overheated last time it was gettting so hot under there that it melted the reservoir and I had that replaced too.

If anyone has a good LR mechanic in north or central NJ please let me know!
