Small Coolant leak...Blow Head Gasket?
Hey all,
Just took the 02 LR DII to the mechanic to have the downpipe gasket for the exchaust fixed and got some bad news. They stated that their is a "blown" Head Gasket and that their is a small coolant leak on both heads although the driver side is the worse of the two. They quoted me $1300 bucks to get fixed. Now, I haven't noticed any difference in performance, any coolant discoloration, any temperature increase, any coolant leaking on the ground or even a decrease in coolant in the past 6 months. Now before I go throwing money at them, I'm thinking about getting a 2nd opinion from the LR Dealership here in Tampa, they said they will look at it an run some pressure test for $106 which I think might be the best idea before I throw all my money at them. I have also read that LR's are notorious for coolant leaks and that most people just live with them and check their fluids routinly. What do you guys think?
