new discovery engine failure info

Temp gauge needs coolant passing over the sensor to register....no coolant no reading. This sort of problem needs a coolant flow meter or the like.

Even my old Disco has a low coolant warning light.

Yes, but unless it dropped its coolant in a big heap the gauge would still be reading.

What about the low coolant warning light? Surly the new disco has one if the old one did, Ford have had them in the Falcon’s since like 1995 And that comes on if the system looses as little as a litre of coolant.

Perhaps "user error" is to partly to blame.

In saying that though, I can kind of understand why you may not be paying particular attention to the temp guage on a vehicle that has only done 2000kms.

I would like to think that I WOULD be paying attention, but hey, you can kinda understand why they may not be...

Hi garrycol, you got it in one.

This post is a total crock of you know what.

It has already appeared both here and overseas and there is never any real response when others try to get the full details.

It’s just a wanker trying to get a rise.

Folks save your time and if this clown runs true to form, the next thing you will see is a post on specific problems with new Toyotas, again ignore it.

I'm not so sure drivesafe, don't be so quick in bagging him, Jorgejhandal has been here for a while now, pops up every so often with some interesting facts from overseas, think he writes from Sth Africa or thereabouts, and has some good replies at times aswell. He takes time sometimes to answer queries, either due to his work or his situation, but I don't think I recall him ever running and not answering at all.
Hope he doesn't prove me wrong this time :-)))

Hi Pezza, I was unaware Jorgejhandel was from S. Africa.

Funny that because the original story was also from SA.

I’m trying to find one of the posts on another site, if I find it I’ll post a link and you can decide for yourself as to whether this fair dinkum or BS.

Cheers.

Hi, all ............
just lookin' around tonight and I'm sure jorgejhandel's username cropped up in ????. I think something for sale? supposedly emanating from HONDURAS ......
and offering to despatch anywhere in the world ........
will post details iffen I come across it again .

Im from HOnduras central america, and Im not making anything up
my uncle got his engine changed on december and 2 other persons that I know had the engines replaced, I dont know their failure but I did ask the dealer about my uncles car and gave me the reason I posted. I took a while to post it because I didnt get a chance to go to the dealer until I had to take a car to the bmw service last week which is the same as land rover and I know one of the managers, I asked him and he gave me the reason, cant know if its true 100 % but I know for a fact that the engines where replaced,

so sorry drivesafe If this bothered you... and there are problems with some new toyotas especially new hilux.... and if you need me to detail you some I can surely do if you dont take it personally beacuse Im not triying to anoy or bother anyone, just posting some deatils because my brother wanted to buy a discovery 3 and wanted to see the feedback of other countries

thanks pezza!!!
