Running Hot.
Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2007 7:26 pm
Hey guys, My 3.9 Disco' been running a little over temp for some time.
I think I've posted on this subject in the past, now I've changed the thermostat, replaced the water pump, and two weeks ago just finished giving the old girl a head job.
When taken to a radiator specialist, he stuck his sensor thingy in the expansion tank and declared "blown head gasket" Hence the head job.
Now, she still runs just as warm as before all this was done.
She doesn't overheat as such, and the heads were pretty straight when they were skimmed, just a bit warmer than she should.
In saying that when pushed too hard, for instance up mt Ousley (Sydneysiders will know the on) she does over heat, and I've had to stop.
I'm going to replace the radiator this weekend, as far as I can tell that's my last resort.
Any suggestions as to what it could otherwise?
Thanks guys.
