Ok help! Gordon is booked until late January so I took it to a local range rover shop that does restorations here in Oly I was stoked to find....but after a grand later.... I am told I only have a leak and they fixed it. That the headgasket is fine and pressure testing proved it. However I get the truck back and it won't start the next day. I am told that although my plug wires are new they are not what they recommend(although rr of seattle put them on) but they are out of stock so I drive it home and the next morning it won't start. They bring the wires over replace them still wont' start.... So they change the plugs and it fires up....verdict...fouled plugs. why?....any way back to coolant. Car runs fine although a bit rough at idle when in "drive" position for two days then it gets hot again. I top off coolant and now its running fne again. What gives???
Now when I start the truck there is a clank, clank, clanking like the fan might be loose? it vibrates a bit and then will stop. From inside the car at drivers seat I hear gurgling but no water on carpets....just lots of gurgling. Periodically I am getting steam(white smoke out the exhaust)...like this morning on start up nothing but after a few seconds massive white then nothing.....no water in the oil....no consistent white exhaust....I am totally confused. Although mechanics is not my thing I was raised by one (my Dad) so I feel comfortable under the hood but I truly am at a loss here. Other weird stuff....my fan doesn't seeme to be kicking in when I think it should. Why doesn't the check engine or low coolant light come on when it get low or hot. I never see a low coolant light on bulb check when starting but have read on here there is one. Just before it heats up the heater blows cold. And some days the rearview mirro lights wont come on and then minutes later they will???? Ghosts in the machine lol! Any help is appreciated!
Also anyone have any experiences with British Northwest Range Rover of Olympia?
