    '03 SE That Could (Update - Coolant, Misfire)

    Take a deep breath. A blown head gasket but no coolant issue? Can you have your mechanic perform a leak-down test and find which cylinder(s) can't hold pressure? How was a blown head gasket determined to be the problem? Your overheating issue could be as simple as having a defective...

    Cool heat

    Nice fix. Say, by adding all the clear water, you may have diluted your mix. For instance, if the water/antifreeze mix used to protect you to -20, maybe it will only protect you to 0. Might want to do a quick check ($2 tool).

    Here I go,,,won't start.

    If you live in the Great White North, I think it is highly likely your fuel line is frozen.

    By the way, a less messy way is with the chemical handwarmer packs. Downside? They are more expensive. The potatoes have an additional upside...if you don't mind the taste, you can still eat them when you're done.

    You sure it just isn't your fuel line frozen? It may solve itself when the temps are above freezing for a bit or you can try to heat it up yourself. It may sound silly but one way to do this is with potatoes. Get a bunch and microwave them until they are nearly molten. Run out to your...

    front end "clunk"

    you could always remove the shock temporarily to see if the clunk goes away. Shock bushings can wear and make a clunking noise.

    2000 D2 transmission Problems

    How about a complete filter/fluid change? Admittedly, not the most pleasant task, but it might fix the problem. Check the linkage too...without the engine running you can be under the truck and have someone slowly shift through the gears so you can watch the linkage and make sure nothing is...

    Getting ready to leave the LR family (blasphemy)

    Disaster averted Well Joey, even though I was offered what I consider a very good deal on a 07 Chevy, I just can't bring myself to trade the Rover. (I must be barking mad.) Frankly, with the economy on the verge of tanking, I'm afraid to take on any debt. So, I'm counting on this August...

    Have you changed the oil since you put in the ATF and ran Seafoam through? If you haven't, I would change out your oil and filter and see if your problem goes away.

    put in new u joints,snaped one in 5 min of dtiving ! help

    That has to make you feel a little exasperated....I sincerely hope it didn't grenade anything else. There isn't much that can be done wrong. That said, the installer just has to make sure the caps are seated correctly and the u-bolts are cinched down correctly. Did the mechanic pump...

    Getting ready to leave the LR family (blasphemy)

    Looking at a couple of different vehicles: 08 Dodge 1500 Maxicab with 5.7 Hemi. It is huge:) 08 Silverado 1500 with 5.3. Not as big as the Dodge and gets better MPG. Anyone have any experience with either?
