My '87 has been using a little water for a while but I thought I could get away with it for a while longer. The car never runs hot even with the summer temperatures.
The car has started to run roughly with a low tickover so I suspect I need to pull the heads off and check out what is going on. The expansion tank is pressuring quickly and there are bubbles coming to the surface.
I have read the manual and it all seems easy enough.
I have never dismantled an injection system but it appears not too complicated.
However I live tucked away in a small village in France without easy access to LR parts quickly or for sensible money.
Apart from a head gasket set, what else should I get to guarantee a worry free strip down and rebuild? I was hoping to to get it all done in a day.
Am I dreaming? Should I expect to have to get the heads skimmed? The car has 50K miles and appears to have had a gentle life.....
Any advice gladly received. Many thanks in advance.
A few of these will be needed surely?
