I clearly don't know how to properly post photos.
This question is about the Disco, but it's a 4.0 Bosch. I've been adding about a pint of coolant a week, and I don't drive it a lot. It has 165,000km, and as far as I can tell, the HG's have never been done, so I guessed it was time. I removed the heads, and I was hoping to see more definite evidence of bad HG's. I'll try to post photos again. Also, are #6 liner there is a slight brown streak, but liners all look intact, and slightly below flush.

Thanks Richard
Thanks. I've had the 2A for 26 years, the P38 is coming near 3 years, and the Disco about 9 months.

I guess I still haven't figured it out.
Maybe I figured out how to post photos? Here are my 3 LR's. I'm a bit of an LR nut, but I think I'm in good company here.
Isn't a very slight pull to the downward side of the road normal?
The top 3" was proper looking gravel. Under it was mire! Thank God the right side stayed on top!

Hopefully the photo connects. This was us on Saturday.
Yeah I've wondered that too, and I also suspect a breaker bar is more likely to shear off the bolt or stud, but it's always a one off, so hard to know.
Well thanks to both of you guys for continuing to be so willing to help out on both sites. I don't go on .net very often anymore, but when I do, I see your posts all over.
I know some tire shops zing the lug nuts on with an impact and then check them with a torque wrench. They will probably be way over torqued this way.
There are some nuts where a good impact wrench is invaluable. Like the wheel hub nuts for example.
Sorry, hit reply before I finished typing.
My experience with rocker gaskets is cork, but I haven't had my V8 Rover ones off yet. I will in the next while though as I need to do HG's on the Disco.
Cork? You're right,
I'm not sure if the rocker cover bolts back off over time, or if the cork gaskets compress, making the bolts looser over time.
I haven't had an issue with mine over heating, but it feels hot, especially in summer. I've been leaving the lid off for that reason, but maybe that's not a good idea?
I looked at mine, but NAS must be different, or they changed between 96 and 97. My brake lines don't run along the axle at all, but come off the frame on each side. Sorry I can't help.
I tried removing the mirror mount from a parts P38 and took a big chip of glass with it. Maybe if you heat it up before removing it?
Do you guys get enough sun in the UK for that?
