About John McInnis
Expertise
Land Rover Discovery. I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.

Experience
Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.

Question
hi i own a 300tdi which has started overheating and water doesnt seem to be circulating through the system any ideas?

Answer
Hi Craig,

are you certain it is a headgasket problem?  Could it be a water pump problem? What about the condition of your radiator?  When was the last time you replaced the thermostat?

You could have the cooling system tested at almost any local garage.  This could include a test of your radiator and thermostat.  Since thermostat is inexpensive, why not just replace it?

You could also pressure test the cylinders for leakage.

Best of luck,

JohnMc
