Its about 2:00AM and I was up doing some reports for work. I went to get a gallon of milk out side in the garage (another refrigerator) and could feel some residual heat from the Discovery as I walked in front of it. Weird,? since I pulled it into the garage at around 10PM.
The radiator hoses are still hot to touch. I can leave my hand on them but still hot. I have a point and shoot infrared temp. gauge and it was reading 118 at the radiator hoses and the same 118 F when pointed at the resorvoir liquid. The glycol is clean, pinkish color.
I did not notice the temp. gauge in car reading anthing other than normal. Its been very hot (90's) in New england, but this eve when driving it was cool as I had all windows down and breeze flowing. SO I think the hot weather issue is not a factor.
I fear the worst.
Coincindentally I called to bring in for 30K oil change yesterday and they can not take me until Aug. 22nd! WTF
By the way its a 2003 with 30,123 miles on it. and if anyone asks I'm NOT going by the LR recommendatiosn in regards to oil change interval. I'm doing around every 3-4K.
I hope I'm being paranoid but fear I'm not.
Any thoughts?
