The Volvo got us to the hospital and back as we required, but not much further before the ominous sign of coolant in the exhaust appeared again.
Of course, it's good to do a job twice, this time I had it all apart in less than half the 5 hours it took me the first time. I had been recommended a engine workshop that was able to machine the head for me next day. Here's the result.
and from the top, mounted on the engine.
For 800 Kroner, that's about £80 I was really pleased, I hadn't expected it to come back looking like that. He'd even vacuum tested the vavles, which were fine. I think this will be a good place to know in the future. I might need to involve them when I start trying to persuede the Landrover to quit smoking.
The man who did the job pointed to the area where I thought it was leaking and said that there was a low spot there. Good to know.
This time, I decided that 115 Degrees would be exactly 115 degrees not just "there abouts", so I bought this angle gauge. I'm sure I'll have the chance to use it again (but hopefully not on the Volvo head bolts).
