Hi you beautiful people, i’m new to the land rover scene so if you could bear with me. i bought a freelander 1 with the 1.8 petrol engine in it (i’ve heard about the problems and sort of know what im doing to an extent), and i think i may have messed up.

I changed the water pump and timed my engine up to the markings, but when i put the new belt and tensioner on, i believe the tensioner was faulty as it slipped and all of a sudden my engine sounded like a tractor.

i didn’t have it running for no longer than a second, is there any chance i would’ve gotten away with it? Thank you in advance

Welcome to LZ!

I think you might be better off posting about that in the Freelander section, link below.
