what colour is the smoke?

[markbass]

could be that the head gasket wasnt the fualt maybe a cracked or warped head was the problem ?

was the head tested

[adam1181]

i had this happen to me on a 2.8td daihatsu engine. i'd brought it with the head gasket gone, fitted a new head gasket and it still chucked water out of the exhaust and ran really rough. i gave up on it then and sold it on

time to look for a new head or get it skimmed if it's not cracked

something similar happened to my 2.5 L200, i changed 2 head gaskets (damnit) and it kept troubling me (for f.... sake)... until i changed the head D:...

good luck m8

Agree with everyone else here - that's the head. Been there, done that one with my 2.8. Bad news, but good luck doing whatever you have to with it [smilie=romanjury.g:

If your after a cheap new head, I got one for my 2.5 from API Engines (Google search for telephone number) for just under £300 delivered.

Not sure about for a 3.0 V6 though! :-?:-?

[CupCake]

If you have no luck with API as Mark suggests, I got my replacement head from Fils Pajero Parts down near Southampton. Was £230 + vat & delivery, so about the same as his [smilie=upyeah.gif]

not really!

Thats the idea of these forums Jack, the act as a vault of information to share and pull on aswell as share experiences, wether they are old or new.

[scorpion 42]

Yes I know that Mark, but the post is old and no ones posting about a current fault, that has happened in the last day or two, so cant see the point, is all.

Thats good then isnt it, means we are all running good!

[Nick4X4]

it does not matter how old it is.... when someone like mark comes along and post where you can get a new head from cheep it's good info..

so when someone now has the same problem and they search the forum they will now see where to get one from...
