Hi forum!
I love my red 2003 3dr Freelander.
I just had my timingbelts & drive belts replaced by the dealer. After picking her up, she went back 3 more times to silence some new belt-squealing noises and a pulley. Was not making noises before this expensive work. The car only has 70k miles. I drove the car for a month seemed fine - but a few extra noises arose. A tick noise almost a ping that has got louder in the past weeks in a 1/2 second interval.
My camshaft plug just blew off and spilled oil EVERYWHERE. Luckily I found it before driving far distance without oil. I have an appointment on monday and I am really helping you guys can tell me what the dealership needs to evaluate because they dont seem to know much about this car. Well, cars in general =(
Here is what I have found:
"Yes they will need to hook up a pressure gauge to see whats happening definately sounds like back pressure blowing out the block
the cam belt must be changed every 72k miles"
Any extra info will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out the visionx LED lights I installed to lightup the ocean for night kitesurfing:
These lights are used by nasa on spacevehicles. I'm about to drive 3500 miles. I see this car as a classic I want to keep for 20 years. Please help me get the dealer on the right track!!!
