bummer...parts and service costs are very high for that turkey..good luck with that turkey...run a compression test and cooling system leak down test to see what you r dealing with...glad im not you...

if you can, take the vehicle back and ask for reimbursement. this was the biggest landrover mistake they ever made. that is why they stop making this model. it has nothing but problem. back to your problem, it indicate the headgasket or cylinder head is leaking. anytime the engine use oil and coolant, it is leaking internal so you cannot see the leak. a well train mechanic have the tool to confirm it..

What did you expect it to run on - coca cola ?

Unfortunately, this issue is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Land Rovers are terrible products. They sell based on prestige and styling alone, but their reputation is awful. That's why used Land Rovers are so affordable.

Wish I could offer help but can't, just a little sympathy for the money you'll spend.

If there is oil in the coolant, I suspect that after they replaced the head gasket they did not flush the coolant system fully.
I am a little concerned about the fact that the car is using water and oil. I suspect that the head gasket may have failed again. My advice would be to get your money back.
Ja.

its a land rover, it will do that i suppose, just be happy water is free and as for the oil again a land rover is huge so it is probably supposed to do that. If i was you, i would take it to the garage from where you bought it and ask them if its unusual.

don't expect to get the same mileage from a huge tank as from a buggy
