I was using my rear chains and it all went good, and I even tooked pasengers

, until I could not continue, so I started to go back on revers.
It all went wrong when I told some one to tast the snow deep to make a turne so I can continue using the first gear, he gived me wrong reading and I ended stoking.

A buldozer saved the day

I now understand your question about snow chains. Looks fantastic scenery as well as great fun.

I had a heating problem in the car.
I have filled the rad. with water in the morning and driven about 170 KLM, with no problem, then waited 2 hoers and driven tha car again.
After only about 5 KLM I started to loos power (the engine was not runing any more), and it was hot.
After waiting 20 minutes I was abel to start the engine but with some sound and restop after seconds.
After pulling the car back hom, it turned out that the oil pumb was malfunctioning, so we replaced it.
I went to the mountain after that

, I will upload photos later.

Ouch. Dani those engines don't like getting too hot. If I were you I would keep a close eye on water level, oil level, and the colour of the oil (to make sure no water is getting in there). I would also get the cylinders pressure checked. Overheated engines sometimes result in blown head gaskets.

The engine also get very hot the last week , although I was at the snow in the mountain, it was after a major effort to climb a hill covered with snow, after finishing the hill I stopped the engine immediately and that when I could not started again till it went cold , but thank god nothing happened.

However I think I have a serious heat problem, and that why the old owner pouted a second fan at the outside (back to the first photo).

I would also get the cylinders pressure checked

How?

Your mechanic can do this for you. Takes out the spark plugs, put in pressure gauge, turn engine over and read the compression off the gauge. Can't recall off the top of my head what that should be.

off the top of my head I think 145psi ....check the book

to do it you want the engine warm, take all the plugs out, put the compression gauge in, crank the engine and read of the value
then do the next one etc

end of the story, the engine is broken!

disco2hse · Post by **disco2hse** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 8:15 pm

Meaning?

What is broken?

landdani · Post by **landdani** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 8:25 pm

Broken is broken.
Their was a voice alerady start from the morning( KrKrKrKrKrKrKr....)
I was at the gas station, filled it up, chaked the water and the oil (A week new but verrry hot).
It was winter, after a one hill the car stopped, I tow it to the garage yard.
The garagist said I ( over used the engine) and the engine was weak in the first place, so it get broken from the inside (a baston or something).
I admit that the voice was their from the morning, but it was only one hill on asfelt.

hmm. He may be right.

Sorry to hear that. Those engines are easily replaceable, there are many around. Will you try to find a replacement engine?

It will cost around USD 1400 for a used one

My brother will never trust a land rover again, especially he drived a DODG that day, what a car, our car was the only one that stoped and not went through the obstacles.

However, this is a video from that last trip when the car was working and sheering the audians.

Dont know what the exchange rate is but one seen running is about £100 over here ...guess there allot more common in England that with you
what would shipping cost ...I guess allot but could be worth thinking about

What are you doing with it now. Rebuild the one youve got, new engine, sell it and get something else?
