RE: Overheating - 4/23/2007 7:48:32 PM    Disco Mike Posts: 10365 Joined: 4/27/2006 Status: offline OK, now I am starting to be concerned about this mechanics technical ability. A coolant leak when tested properly should show up in 5 minutes or so. Has he actually done a coolant pressure test, how about a chemical block test. Mike (in reply to bamarover) Post #: 11

But he is trying to run a business and i am getting him to fix it for free. I know there is a leak and he knows it too. He is wondering why there wasn't one when he looked. he said something about running a pressure test this morning. I have to go to work but will be calling him. i'll let yall know what happens. _____________________________ Steve 2001 Discovery II SE (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 12

Call him and ask him to do it. You can't just loose that much coolant and not find the leak. Mike (in reply to bamarover) Post #: 13
