RE: 2002 Discovery, overheating

The heaqdgaskets can be done using Rover parts for around $1400, so they are stabbing you on that.
If all the other services were current, in other words a major service was recently done, then a combined price, heads and truck at $6000 to $6500 is good for you.
I bet the truck is not current on the other services needed and that is anothr $100 if a shop does it or $350 if you do it.
You better love this truck.
Let us know what you do.

I recieved a call from the LR dealer. The price is frim at $5K and it was the head gaskets. The head gaskets replacement will cost additional$1,800.00. The bottom line will be about $7K. I have passed on this deal.

Thanks again on the feed back.

You are very wise to pass on this one. Somebody else will test drive the truck, overheat it and drop a cylinder liner and then the dealer will be buying a new engine for it AND be selling it for $5,000.
They are going to lose big time on this truck.
