Well I suppose after eleven years it's time for an update, wifey's 1800 LPG Freelander is still running, hasn't self destructed, the doors haven't fallen off, nor has it suffered from "they all do that" HGF. A fill up of fuel costs at current prices £25, and you cover 220 miles, the bulkhead...

I have replaced in the region of 70 'K series head gaskets, on various Rover, Land Rover, MG & Lotus, and on not one single of these jobs has there not been an underlying cause, i.e. knackered radiators/ water pumps/ wrong type of antifreeze/ no antifreeze, corroded steel pipework etc etc etc...

Of course not, that's why after 220 000 miles since being converted, my Rover 214 is still going strong, I last took the head off at 170k, to fit the MLS gasket, not because it had failed, but as a precaution, and the bores still had the original honing marks right to the top of the liners, and...

Where in the country are you Ian ?, I may be able to assist! Cheers Brian.

Hi Ian, as far as I'm aware, there is no difference between the camshaft pulleys on all 16v K series, with the notable exception of the VVC engines, the tool I used for mine was a LASER 2626 Laser 2626 Camshaft Locking Tool - Rover K16 TCN2626 from Stockwell Tools Dead pricey, isn't...

See Land Rover Technical Bulletin No 0028 CDS ref L8607bu dated 13 09 2000, on how to repair the fault, only 3 days wasted, but I don't care, the petrol equivalent of 42 MPG around the doors, and if it were a diesel, closer to 45. Now why would anyone want a smelly old oil burner, with those...

Perhaps I should have pointed out here, that the injectors are cut out, via an injector emulator, so they don't actually operate at all once running on gas!:)

Nice thought, the thing you're on about is an accumulator, on the LH side of the inlet, this is designed to damp out pressure pulses in the fuel rail, the pressure as far as I can make out, is controlled within the pump itself, by means of a pressure relief valve, set at 3.5 Bar, which when the...

The top hose, tee'd into the top heater hose, the bottom hose tee'd into bottom heater hose BEFORE the lower return T. Hope this helps. Cheers Brian.

Removing the starter won't help I'm afraid, the only way this flywheel spragging tool can be used, is to remove the gearbox!, put it into fifth, and have someone stand on the brakes whilst you undo the crank pulley nut. Cheers Brian. P.S. this is the water pump you want to buy... ROVER "K"...

Hi, I converted my wife's 1800 Freelander to run on LPG, all went well, car starts on petrol then switches to LPG, and runs super, however after a run the fuel in the petrol line "disappears", and when it comes to a restart, no dice, it just churns on the starter, and after a couple of attempts...

Could anyone help me out here, where is the diagnostic connector located on an '06 TD5 Defender? Any help appreciated.:):) Cheers Brian.

Perhaps I should have pointed out, it's a 1.8, now would I be right in thinking, the master/slave cylinders, are sealed units? or is it possible to top them up? Cheers Brian.

My Wife's Freelander is a pig to change from first into second, now I've changed the lube oil in the 'box, & IRD, as I do annually along with the engine oil & antifreeze, but as I've not driven the car personally for some time, it was on my test drive that I noticed it, I also noted that the...

Took my missus' prop off to fit a new VCU & bearings, & left it off for the MOT, as my local test station has only a two wheel brake test, & incidentally, Freelanders must NEVER be tested on a two wheel tester with the propshaft in place, as it places an unacceptable strain on the drivetrain...

Finally got to the bottom of this one after much head scratching, made a diagnostic socket & plumbed it directly into the M.E.M.S. unit, hey presto after a quick interrogation all was revealed, the MAP sensor had failed on the ECU, so as a result the thing was running on it's mapped settings, in...

I may take you up on that:D :D :D :D :D :D

Bought my missus a 1800 K-series,"Venetian Mauve" (Mr Whippy Purple) Freelander couple of weeks ago, travelled 150 miles to collect it, (yet another Fleabay purchase), started up & let it idle until it got to working temperature to check for telltale signs of pressurisation in the jacket water...

Really? I've been running a 1400 K series engined Rover 200 (R8) for several years now on L.P.G., fitted at 30K & guess what, I took the head off for the first time in 245000 miles (yes 245K), last week, & the bores had the coninical honing marks from when the thing was put together in 1995 by...
