First i changed the thermostat, big mistake cause thats not the problem its like $80 at autozone but i went to bap.com and got it for $30,
2nd thing i did was changed the hose cause it had the screw hole broken where you bleed it, it cost me $106 at landrover dealer place but bap will order for $80
i noticed that my throttle body was linking and was like damn how do i fix this, i called landrover and ask them how much does the throttle body cost he said $600 dollars i was like damn i dont got that kind of money my shet is leakin water from there whut am i suppose to do, so he said we sell the plate for $50 i was like theres a plate? he said yes, with the 2 tubes coming out, bap also had that but it after market and the seal broke on me so that sucked it was $38 i put a shet load of sealant around it just to make sure that shet didnt start leakin again. before i couldnt drive for 30 to 45 minutes now i could, later ima make a youtube video of how to fix it pimppappi702, i aint advertising on here either im just sayiong try to go to napa or bap or places that sell import parts, ebay sells parts for cheap too so im here to help u guys, my car still boils but im thinkin thats normal

First, a few periods won't break the bank on the smart phone monthly plan.

A. You most likely bought the wrong thermostat, there is a 180F soft spring one that will cut your temps across the board.

B. The throttle body heater can be bypassed if you are not is a cold area. It keeps the throttle valve from sticking open due to icing. Not real expensive, comes as a kit for about $25.

C. The T bleeder screw is about $7 from a BMW dealer. Or you can homebrew your own T.

D. It is not normal to be boiling, or have coolant loss, or heat gauge above 50%. Normal operating range with factory thermostat is like 195- 205, at 212 the electric helper fan is supposed to come on. You can see temp in digital fashion with a scanner or Ultra Gauge.

For a Rover, you get shet at Napa.
You gotta put in a REAL 180 degree soft spring.

You need to buy all your parts pretty much online or at least research them on a site such as this to see where you can get them the cheapest. Do not keep overheating your truck, you will be in for a new engine.

Actually, the combination of auto complete on smart *** phonez plus Red Bull plus Rover Rash plus no sleep from wrenching until 2:00AM tends to wreck the English language.
