I bought a 2004 Discovery with 75000 miles on it at the end of October. Had no problems with it until this morning. Last night it was 0deg F. I started the car this morning no problems. I drove about 1/4 of a mile to the local pharmacy. When I got in the parking light and parked, the truck was still running and I noticed that the temp gauge needle hadn't moved from it's coldest reading and the high temp light was on. I shut the truck down, went into the pharmacy and got back into the truck. Tried to start it, but it would not start. It would crank, but not start. The temp needle would occasionally go up to the max point, and the high temp light would come on, but the truck would only crank, and not start.
I popped the hood to check things out. I opened up the expansion tank cap, and the coolant was frozen. I squeezed the coolant hoses, and some only had air it them, and the others had slush, or semi-frozen coolant.
The head gasket job was done about a year ago by the previous owner at his local repair shop.
It is currently being towed to my mechanic.
Help please. Thanks.
