Land Rover Repair: 99 disco II, crank shaft, resorvoir

Question
hi john,
i will try to keep this as short as possible.
okay, my 99 disco has 100000 miles on it.
about 3 months ago, 4 dash lights came on.  i took it to a
certified lr mechanic and they gave me the synopsis for all the lights. turns out to be o2 sensor, airbags leaking, crank shaft pulley, abs modulator ($2k), etc.
today, my wife said the car was starting to shake as she
drove it, it's been running hot (in town)taking a whole gallon on anti-freeze/water (the resorvoir is like a bottomless pit), it's starting to smoke (not like burning oil smell, but weird smell, i noticed moisture on the pavement), and when you crank it, it makes a single popping sound almost like it's not going to turn over, but it cranks.
i got this vehicle, used, in june 06' with 92k on it and 2 months later all this stuff started to happen to it and it's been very costly to me.

any ideas on the situation?
thanks

Answer
If teh car runs hot and took a gallon of coolant you have a serious leak that needs to be addressed right away.  That may tie in with the running rough and the moisture.
