overheating PLEASE HELP!!!
Hello,
I have a 1996 range rover 4.0, and at times it overheats. I shut the engine off and turn it right back on and it's fine. It doesn't do it all the time, but I would like to fix what ever is wrong with it. If anyone might know what would cause this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Justin

Is it leaking..are you loosing coolant? if you are and there is none on the garage floor, then it could be going through the engine, or leaking out the heater core, which would be noticible in the wet carpets.Do you notice a gurgling sound behind the dash? if any of these sounds familiar, then there is coolant loss, if you cant find the leak, check the plugs. a very white ceramic plug looking nearly new will indicate a pressure washed plug due to leaking in the cylinder, which in my case was a head gasket failure but could be worse a sleeve which has dropped. If none of these are true, then check basics such as thermostat and or fan clutch, or electric fans if you have them for proper operation. good luck.

I am not losing any coolant, but the other day it overheated, and the return line where it goes back into the radiator popped off and spilled coolant every where. I looked at it, and the lip on the radiator where the hose slides on had deteriorated and broke off. I put it back on, and since then no leaks.
When I turn the A/C on, or even just the fan, it overheats. Any thoughts?
