No Luck Here!

You didn't offend me. I couldn't care less where you post your questions.
I was merely addressing your complaint that no one has responded to your overheating problem, most likely because of where you posted it. I don't always read the new member introductions, I'm sure a lot of others don't as well.
If you go in to a car dealer and complain to the janitor about a problem with your car, don't be surprised if you don't get it fixed.
Of course the fact you're now asking the same question in a thread titled "No Luck Here", while it might get a few more reads, still isn't a good start. Especially since the thread is about how much Land Rovers suck and how no one responds to you.
Try, "Overheating and can't find and answer by searching".
But you'd need to search the forum first.
I'm fairly certain you haven't searched the forum for an answer because you don't mention testing your viscous clutch or testing your thermostat to see if both are good, which are two of the most common, and easiest, troubleshooting steps and are frequently suggested.

In any case, that's fine by me. Rest assured I won't respond to any further questions you have, regardless if I see wasting money and time or not.

Your nearest dealer is here in GR.
Follow this link and search the site, there is a "how to" on how to re-vamp the overly complicated cooling system of a DII into a "normal" cooling system like that on a DI or any other normal car.
Rover Tech - LAND ROVER Club V.I.
Alot of people do that modification and it solves 95% of their cooling problems.
This is of course assuming your t-stat, water pump, belt tension etc. is all good.

It sounds like head gasket to me man. You said you don't see it leaking anywhere? No drips/pools?
When my driver side gasket blew it took forever to locate it because the coolant was pooling and collecting in the engine compartment, therefore no puddles. Plus when you drove it it would all leak out no there would be nothing to see overnight.

Wolf-I just saw in another thread that you flushed your cooling system and filled it with straight coolant.
This will lower your boiling point to like nothing, the truck will overheat.
Coolant MUST be mixed 50/50 for maximum protection.
Straight engine coolant will freeze around 30*F and boil before water.
So you need to drain the system (no flush needed this time, just drain) and refill with a premixed 50/50 coolant.
Trust me on this, I used to sell engine coolant, you will never solve this issue unless you drain the system and start over.
