hello everyone this is my first post. now i have always wanted a disco v8 so i bought one it has lpg single point. but is not looking like a good one. there is a problem with the water system the heater does not blow hot air.iv look on this forum and saw checking the oil would be a good start iv look at the oil that does not seem to be brown so hopeful it might be something simple but i doubt it. so im looking for a garage near to west sussex that could have a look.any help in finding a garage i would be grateful as a lot wont touch a car with gas.thank you

Could just be an air lock in the system - the V8 needs to be bled through the fill tower above the RHrocker cover (at least that's where it is on the 3.5). The LPG system will should be plumbed into the heater system and this can cause airlocks as well if not properly done.

Have you checked that the thermostat is opening / closing?

This has solved a few heater issues on previous cars in the past.

If you need a garage, Chichester 4x4 are a very good bunch. That said, there's not much that can't be solved round here. I doubt the problem is serious.

This should be easy to sort - had the same problems myself before now.

The posts above contain the advice you need to deal with the water issues, I would do the bleeding first, then check the thermostat by putting it in a saucepan of water to see if it is opening.
