The cooling system is pressreized a little over 14 lbs when its hot the leak is likely the sorce of the problem

  • JOHN LAPIER Dec 11, 2010

    Do you have some other type of question about this system on the range rover ?

  • JOHN LAPIER Dec 11, 2010

    Canyou see where the leak is coming from. If its the radaitor witch is likely the cause then you may be able to have it repaired sometimes they can be fixed however it will have to come out of the vehicle.Some however can't be repaired there plastic and glued to the cooling fins you would be best off to replace the radiator. But if its a hose or gasket leak that can be repaired relitively easy because you must know parts for landrovers usely don't come cheap well good luck

Suggested Solution 2002 Land Rover Discovery Series II Logo Problem with 2002 Discovery Series II Starts fine when cold, after running dies on idle then wont start 2002 land rover discovery, starts fine...

The ignition system is controlled by the ECM. Check power at fuse box in on right side under dash. Check fuses right side engine compartmentlower dash panel if all OK check power to ECM located right side "A" pillar in alloy box. this unit could be faulty if no spark at coils, assuming they have been connected correctly. may have to get tested for codes at L/R dealer or someone with test tool. Another source of problem may well be flat battery in transponder key. The indicator light on the dash willflash rapidly for 10 seconds if the vehicle has been unlocked with the remote and the drivers door is opened if the battery in remote is getting low

2002 land rover discovery II overheated, it will start but won't keep running

Honestly it sounds like you eighter blow a head gasket or the intake manifold gasket. Do you see white steamy smoke coming out the tail pipe or if you pull the dip stick out do you see white fomey yellowish **** on the stick .Or if you look inside the antifreeze reseveor or radiator cap oil floating on top of the antifreeze. If any of these things are happening then the problem is antifreeze is leaking into one or more of the cylinders and the vehicle will not run good and this will reck the engine fast if not repaired quickly. So look for oil in the antifreeze or antifreeze in the engine oil

Starts fine when cold, after running dies on idle then wont start

Sounds like the fuel filter is dirty and needing to be changed. It's cheap and easy to swap out.
