Looks like I'm in for headgaskets.
Like it says..
Parked the disco after work. Took the dog for a walk 30 minutes later and noticed a puddle under the nose. Looked under and the diff is covered in coolant drops. Only coolant related thing I haven't changed yet is the headgaskets. I'll know more over the weekend. Any suggestions or other things I should look for? |
tbh??

pressure test your system, probably a leak from an earlier repair
|
I'm on my third waterpump, so might want to check that.

It isn't the TBH, dry as a bone. It was also the first thing i checked, thanks though Dusty.
I am not entirely sure why, but a pressure test holds. I only see coolant drop after a highway trip. Not even at idle. I can kind of trace the leak up the left front area of the engine. Water pump, and front cover are dry. The only place I cannot get a good look at its the leading edge of the heads. gonna borrow a Snap-On borescope from one of the guys at work and see what I can see. The thing that makes me laugh is.. i just did front pads, rotors, hubs and axle seals after the amigos stopped by for a few weeks. Im still trying to figure out why the Rover refuses to recognize the new 02 sensors. Thanks for the suggestions though guys |
Keep in mind, according to the PO records, and what the dealer network supplied me with, it has never had an overheating issue, and the heads have never been removed.

Uv dye has always been a big help for me.
My o2 s took hundreds of miles to be recognized |
Thanks again dusty. ill give the Uv dye a shot.
I am slightly confused as to why it would take so long for it to recognize new 02 sensors? |
so, you are still getting "system not ready" reading?
man I just figure it varies from truck to truck. different variables.. on/offs/speed equations/ etc. took like 60-80 miles in one of my trucks/took like 600 in my current d2/ took about 120 miles on my last d2 as long as you are showing "not ready" give it a bit |
I'm just getting p0130 and 150. I clear them, and they come right back. All this according to the UG.
