Freelander 1 - TD4 thermostat replacement ?
Hi all, can anyone advise me please ? How difficult is it to replace the thermostat on a facelift 2006 FL 1 TD4. I can see it is TRICKY to get to but on the face of it there looks to be just 5 torx headed bolts 3 on the housing and 2 connecting to the rear of the head area, I have wondered if...

There's 1 thermostat, it's under the inlet manifolds.
Sounds like you need to change mechanics.. Wonder if he is thinking of the heating rheostat.... I mean they sound the same right..... Could it be the CRYOSTAT ? nahh change the mechanic.

Kv6 is a pain of an engine, probably didn't want to work on it..
Looking at those pics I dont blame him....Thermostat on any car should be a mandatory 30 mins max.

I've come across that on several occasions.
There is only one correct way to change the thermostat on a KV6, which takes about 3 hours. The keyhole way doesn't always work, as often the link pipes don't seal correctly, meaning the inlet manifold needs removing anyway, so I just do them that way. Sometimes what seems to be the faster way ends up being the slower way.
