here goes,
3.0l has been loosing water...somewhere?
checked all the usual.
on start up its very lumpy with a big missfire. cures after a few seconds.
this morning on startup,....crank, crank, then almost as if it was constipated & stopped turning......
tried again, fired up with missfire....
i tend to get the idea whats wrong, but thought i would throw it open to you. :y

I'm not saying its head gasket for sure yet but with it missing for a few seconds and the fact it sounds like its turning over slowly and stops, could be water in a bore :(
