Head Gasket - Land Rovers Only

dontknow · 08-11-2008, 08:33 AM

My 2000 Disco with 120k miles over heated big time! Now it is pushing water out of the reservoir tank. Can’t drive it for more than a couple of miles before it starts overheating, there was even a stream of water coming out of the tube. I assume I have a blown head gasket…

Questions are-
What can I expect to pay to have it repaired? Out of that how much is the materials?
What other things are often needed? Valve job, new hoses, or? And what is a typical ball park of what they run?
Anyone know of a shop in Ventura, CA or SFV that is both reasonable and honest?

Thanks for any info you may have!

Call roy at East West Motors in Santa Barbara, but don't drive it there and quit driving it for any reason or you will be looking for a new engine.
Good price, $1400 parts and labor plus any head work if needed. Parts, including fluids, new head bolts and a Rover gasket set will be about $275 of the total price.
Quit driving it for any reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
