      Hello,

      Sounds like you have either a cracked RH exhaust manifold or blowing gaskets.
      Here's a link to our page :-

              Head gasket !? :-(

              Unfortunetlly they said that part of the head gasket is missing :-( parts and labor $1775 + drive belt( + $225 ) and a I have two leaks of oil and coolant at front of the engine ( gasket under front cover -they ask for extra $670 ? gasket is $13)it's not too much for labor ? (I'm asking becouse I'm not similar with labor time needed to fix that ! ) Thks

                  Missing? I'd get a second opinion about that. The front cover usually paid about 2.5 under warranty, so I'd say 4.0 CP. And $225 for a serp belt is a rip.....they would take it off doing the ft cover. Where did you go.....Land Rover Austin?


                  And P.S.....I wouldn't advertise my license plate number all over the internet.
