We have a 760 GLE 2.8 v6 estate (1989) Recentley, all the cooling hoses have been renewed and all was well Now she is drinking water like a camel, but no visible leaks from any hoses/radiator/water pump etc. When "dry" wont start or if running cuts out, am I right in thinking there is some sort of overheat cut off system? I seem to recall seeing this in the 1988 press release The only other symptoms are a bit of oilysludge in the V between the heads ( I had cleaned this out) and the water in the expansion bottle is a bit oily, but that could be the residue of a radiator sealer that went through I have a horrible feeling its head gaskets, but any other ideas would be welcome Also, if it is the head gaskets, on a scale of 1 - 10 in nastiness, how bad a job is this? Many thanks Chris
