Ok. I am back. The 1995 Disco with 175K miles. The truck is giving me more trouble than it's worth now. After replacing all the coolant related hoses (The Hose Kit from Atlantic British) the Coolant still dissapears. And there is a leak in the Intake Manifold area (The Gaskets need to be replaced I guess) and it sgetting kinda oily there.
I did a chemical test for Head gasket leak and it is borderline. So possibly the head gasket developed a small leak as well.
Since I am very busy with my work and a new baby (Born on December 18th 2004) I'd probably have someone replace the IM gasket and the Head Gaskets. Should I just get a valve Job done instead and get the IM Gasket replaced?
If I get a indi shop do it how much $$ should it set me back (In the Wash. DC area)? I would really like to turn this truck into a realiable vehicle again.
Help Please.
PS. Also I started to get a whining noise that increases with vehicle speed (Not RPM)......What could it be? Drive Shaft? U-Joint?
Thanks in Advance.
