2003 Range Rover hse problems
2003 hse range rover, overheating, the truck will sit at an idle and not over heat ever as soon as you start to drive you lose heat and the temp gauge goes up, heat comes back and instantly the temp gauge shows normal, brand new thermostat and housing. if the temp gauge goes up and you lose heat if u sit at an idle in drive slowly u have heat and the temp gauge shows normal. any ideas? head gasket? no coolant loss.

You might be right about it being a gasket. It could also be a number of other things, so make sure that is what it is before the engine is taken apart. Your radiator might also be plugged up. One easy test... Wait till the car warms up and see if the coolant hose is stiff when you squeeze it, that will tell you if the cooling system is pressurizing. Careful not to burn yourself of course .

Find someone with a block tester or buy one and check for carbonmonoxide in the coolant reservoir. that will tell you for sure. But also make sure you have all the air out of the system. You can also drain it and refill it using a vacuum filler. Engine needs to be cold and you will need a air supply (compressor). If the blue fluid turns yellow.....cry!
