Sounds like a right pain in the arse.
Was it a mk3 like mine??
 
n reg what mark that is i do not know.he had a intermittent ip leak but he ran through brake fluid and that seamed to have swollen the seal and stop the leak for a long while then it would do it again so another dose.his main problem was towing up hills as the temp would rise,he did everything to stop it and finally did,he had it 10 years.

I think that is mk2, I think they were known for those sorts of problems, especially head gasket.

A second hand ip has arrived at mine today so I will get it tested and set to TDC.
 
Yeh that'll have been a mk2.

2.8 were the ones that were meant to have head problems but tbf mine was a 2.8 and she put up with some abuse and never caused too much bother - although I was always quick to fix the few wee issues and there weren't many, alternator and water pump were all in 2.5 years of dailying :nenau
 
no water cooled egr on mk2 water cooled egr on mk3 solved the problem.
