Hi all! I'm wondering if anyone can point me towards an independent shop in the Nashua NH area that works on Disco's? I've called a couple and they won't touch them.


Basically I'd like a pressure test on the cooling system to figure where the leak is before blindly replacing the head gasket - then if it is the HG, have it replaced for a fair price.


The dealer 'round here already quoted me $3000 for the HG which does include machining the heads, but still a big chunk of change...


Thanks!

 

any big auto parts store should rent or let your borrow a coolant system pressure tester

 

Didn't think about that - that would be a good start, Thanks!


Would like to find a good indy shop if anyone knows of one. I don't mind turning a wrench, but this Rover V8 scares me, couldn't even get the upper manifold off to do the coil-packs last year.

 

Also, I'd recommend the chemical test. You can get it at autozone. Basically you put this tester with some chemical in the top of the expansion tank, and if they fluid turns a certain color (blue to yellow I think) it means there are hydrocarbons in the coolant.
