Hi node, Yes new cap and tank, I also thought about incorrect house routing too, but today I discovered a not too surprising but dissapointing none the less issue. The oil looked fine last time I was tinkering with the car months ago but now it's a caramel milkshake. So I'm considering my...

Hey folks. I know it's been a while but I finally had a chance to dive into the freelander again today. I removed the engine block bleed bolt and it appeared that pretty much only coolant came out, not any air, but it's hard to be 100% sure. Then opened the top bleeder near the firewall and...

Thank you for the picture, always easier with a picture. I haven't had a chance to play with the car yet unfortunately but now I know exactly what to look for, so thanks :) Ben

Thanks so much guys, i'll give this a go as soon as I get a chance and report back with the results. Ben

I had a whole lot of stuff typed out but somehow it got lost so i'll try to condense what I can remember. Some questions, some answers, and some statements to provide possibly relevant information. I tested the thermostat and it appeared to be operating correctly I did not test the...

I meant to add that the over flow bottle and cap are new, with the cap appearing to hold pressure well, at least until the coolant in the bottle starts percolating. Also I had a hose filling up the over flow bottle as I filmed the video, and only had the engine running for around 40 seconds so...

Hello, I thought i'd start a new thread as the old one was under a different heading and that problem was solved thankfully. So i'm trying to diagnose the ongoing overheating problem on my v6 freelander. Coolant starts to boil in the overflow bottle after about 20 mins idling. I've have...

Hey everyone, I ended up ordering a new header tank from over your way. Got it fitted and fixed up some broken vacuum lines and put all the intake/engine cover back on and gave it a run. All seemed to be going well so I left it idling while i tinkered with other things. After about 20 minutes...

Well thanks again everyone who offered assistance, it appears to be fixed. It's back on it's wheels and i've driven it up and down the street a few times and everything appears good, apart from a hopefully minor cooling issue. I've followed the land rover instructions to bleed the system...

Thanks, I fitted a bolt smothered in thread sealant and it appears to have done the trick. I've almost finished re-assembling everything. Getting the auto fluid level correct is the next challenge haha Ben

Bit of an update if anyone is following :) Upon closer inspection the hole is actually threaded and there is no ball bearing in there. I can only assume there was a bolt/plug type deal in there but who knows how or why it was ever taken out. It turns out it's a rather uncommon thread pitch...

Thanks for the responses so far. I think Nodge68 has provided the answer, but it's not one I was anticipating at all. The leak is definitely not the large o-ring, it's coming from higher up and as soon as you start the engine its like a running tap. So having said that, yes the engine does...

Hello everyone, This is my first post but i've been looking around for a while now and this site has been agreat help with my current and previous Land Rovers. My current problem has been driving me absolutely insane for some time now and I think i've just partly figured it out. A brief...
