Freelander 1 1.8 snapped head bolt trouble

1.8 taken apart due to snapped head bolt. Caused internal oil leak and it burnt the oil.

Will add more links to this post if he adds a further video about this fix.

Bloody good video, and very educational. Who'd have thought that the head bolts tightened into a removal assembly ! Bloody lucky really he didn't have to drill out/use an easy out or retap into a blind hole, using a plug (No 2) tap!

Thanks Hippo.........ebt

The ladder rack is removable, as you are meant to replace it when doing the headgasket.

LR released modified and strengthened ladder rack to try and reduce hgf.

Its along with modified coolant pipes , modified headbolts, modified thermostat, modified headgaskets , modified head dowels, modified coolant sensor, etc etc etc

modified coolant sensor? not heard of that one.

i didn't change the oil rail when i did my hg but is probly a good idea. Did do all the other stuff though

its a low coolant sensor - fitted on later coolant bottles. theres a thread on here about it.
