It took 3 miles to loose the coolant lol.
It took about 15 min to diagnose.... I also checked the oil to make sure no coolant was finding it's way there even though from the geyser under the hood I was pretty sure where it went. Also pulled a plug and checked to see if it showed any abnormal signs on it. The motor looked and sounded just fine until it was run long enough to puke the coolant and get hot. It's my un-educated guess this is the source of the running issues.
Cooking it's all good that's what being a Rover owner is all about. Helping each other when our rigs are kicking our asses.
oh and the roof bars are already mounted up on my rover, thanks brother
