4.4 v8 coolant bleed procedure
Since Monday the air bleed Val e the small plastic T piece broke I've since sourced new part and got new coolant ready to go in but I don't know the bleed procedure because I can't find any information on the v8 anywhere not even my landy dealer knows much about the v8
Any help would be much appreciated
cheers Glenn

4.4 v8 coolant system problem
I put out a general warning ref this bleed valve on top of engine some time ago. It really is a disaster waiting to happen. I was changing coolant ref mileage in book etc and just happened to touch this little plastic TEE piece and it disintegrated!. Would strongly advise ALL V8 owners to replace this unit with a brass one from any Hydraulics Co. before you blow an engine. If this happens on a Motorway when you are doing 120 Klm / hr, your engine will be stuffed! I was disgusted with the very poor quality plastic used on this TEE piece.Life always good with a Landy
