With the information on this forum you should get your problem resolved quickly and working on it yourself
worse case you can spend 20-30 k on a new car or spend 10 k and get a brand new motor of needed
I would spend 10 k on a new engine because I hate the junk that's out there now
a must for our engines
ultra guage
proper coolant
right thermostat
proper maintenance

High engine temps and the front driveshaft were my two biggest concerns after I bought my '01 Disco 2 in 2016.
I quickly replaced the thermostat with a 180 degree one, added a Dorman fan, a Hayden fan clutch and Zerex G-05 coolant.
Been smooth sailing ever since with temps getting up to 197 degrees rather than 232 degrees that was monitored on the UltraGuage Blue.

overheater and leaker
I admit i have a problem. I have had this problem for several years. Gallons and gallons of coolant and water consumed.
New coolant pump and head gaskets 2 years ago. Continued coolant loss.
After complete replacement of hoses, clamps, throttle body heater plate, 180 degree thermostat, radiator, Evans system flush liquid, 5 gallons of Evans Water-less coolant and still a problem.
I thought for sure my leak was from a hose or the rad, but alas when all was done, it was the .95 cent pump gasket and stripped coolant pump bolts thread.
So, after loosing a few gallons of the Evans Water-less coolant (~90 dollars worth), I am set to drain my coolant again, pull my belt and maybe the rad (again).
Going in this time (after pump and coolant are replaced) with a Dearle Performance Dual Tornado Cooling fan.
Hopefully, I can come away without a leak and lower temps, although the Evans Water-less Coolant's boiling point is +/- 375 degrees.
Lets see how this goes.
