Land Rover Repair: 1999 Range Rover 4.0 - Head Gasket, head gasket, gasket

Question
It appears that the head gasket as you stated may need to be replaced.  How much on average is a job like that ?  Would it be cheaper to buy a rebuilt engine ?

Answer
Hi Ricardo,

can start at $2000 and go from there.  Rangie is always more expensive.   I sent you some independent LR shops not too far from Pasadena ...  I hope they can do the job.  

A rebuilt Rangie engine would be double the amount of a headgasket job  PLUS you'd be inheriting the problems of that engine.  IF you know your own and trust it, keep it.  If you have other problems, maybe a rebuild is in order.  

Go to www.car-part.com and check out the cost of a salvaged Rangie engine.  You'll find some excellent prices on that site and many yards are close to you too!

Best of luck,

How's the weather in CA?  Must be nice right now...
