2004 Discovery overheating
In need of help. My new to me 2004 disco with 82,000 miles is having some problems. Started with coolant being low when I bought it, so I added some. When I added some it started to spew out of the expansion tank. This went on for a couple of days. After those couple of days it’s started to overheat many times while driving down the road. Thinking it was a stuck thermostat I replaced it today with a 180° t-stat and a new line going from the engine to the t-stat. I also flushed the coolant system and added in 2 gallons of new peak 50/50 coolant and bled the system by unscrewing the bleeding screw on top of the radiator area. I went on a 50 mile drive and it ran perfect. However I went out tonight to dinner and all the sudden it started overheating again sitting at a red light. I pulled over immediately and found steam pouring out the spew hose on the expansion tank and coolant to be very low. I unscrewed the bleeder screw and steam constantly poured out. I added in more coolant and still overheated. Not sure where to go now. Need help!!

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ll give that a shot once I limp the truck back home. Does that explain for the loss of coolant though?
