iroc Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Check the fan clutch and the electric cooling fans. Else check the radiator for any block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natvar Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Mechanic have already check the main clutch fan and electric fan first before advising me for the thermostat. Looks like this weekend i should be getting my radiator flushed and cleaned from inside completely. Good heads up iRoc, you def Roc. Thanks a lot.

bmwdoc Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 The heater not working could be that the pipes were disconnected by previous owner due to water leakage from the heater matrix up under the dash board or could be as you suspect a blocked cooling system, be very careful not to run the engine too hot as these are alloy heads and you will blow the head gasket quicker than you can blink, the overheating can also be the cause of a blown head gasket, if in any doubt take it to triple A (AAA) no I don’t work for them I just use them for my repair work as they understand land rovers better than anyone else in Dubai. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
