Land Rover Repair: My 02 Disco II, fan clutch, head gasket


Question
Hi, My coolant needs to be replaced every time i drive it. I can't spot a leak, I just put a replacement fan clutch in & the coolant seems to be disappearing at an even faster rate than before. Should I be looking harder for a leak? what is the likely problem? Will a diagnostic help identify the problem? It has 102k on it- is it common for this to be happening?
I need ur help!
Many thanks in advance, Jessica B.

Answer
If the coolantn is not leaking onto the ground it may be going out the tailpipe, in which case you have a failed head gasket or a failure within the engine block.  There's an article that describes both in more detail on my website, www.robisonservice.com > service > rover > advice.

Either situation is kind of a big deal, I'm sorry to say.
