Hello All

Hello All
I have a Series 2 109 diesel when I got my hands on it (1993) it had seen little or no use for many years and body/chassis wise was in good condition the engine was another matter after the addition of a 2.5 di (TDi Landrover engines were rather expensive in those days) it was in daily use for 4 years (with the odd break to replace diffs and halfshafts), after which time it was semi retired, last October I started using it again (after a complete brake system overhaul and diesel pump service and a little welding on the rear cross member) daily driver again and looking forward to a week of snow J
Regards

ow do,how snow yu got so far?

Hello
Just a little covering ablout an inch but we can hope

hi and welcome

Thank you

Hi I have just bought a Freelander with a blown head gasket as a project. I have fitted the best of everything including genuine LR Antifreeze.
I drove the car home but after skimming the head she refuses to start. I have been experimenting and get a good spark direct from the coil but despite a new rotor arm and cap no combination of old and new produces a good spark after the distributor. My next investment is a set of leads unless anyone has any other experience or suggestions?
Most sites I find complain about the freelander but is there any site that relates experience on repairs. My pork chop failed and I could find little on how far I had to go to swap it out.
The later was easy once I released the four bolts on the Diff rear mounts with it supported on an axle stand.
I have changed a few heads, cambelts and the freelander is a breeze to work on so why so many complaints?

Update
Last spring I had to rebuild the gearbox as it had become noisey and leaked oil from almost everywhere (I had previously replaced the original with a late series 3 transmission and overdrive), I replaced 1-2 , and3-4 syncro hubs (luckily got hold of a NOS 3-4 item), a couple of bearings and bushes and corrected the end float on just about everything, I sealed it all up with sealant used on Subaru engines, no gaskets just sealant and no more leaks
The rear axle is about to go again (lost count of replacement diffs and half shafts, so changing to a salisbury axle from a defender hopefully will get this done within a couple of weeks. If anyone knows where I can get hold of spring plates and ubolts from a series 3 LWB rear axle I would like to know.
I have also got hold of a 2.5Di (Transit) turbo lump with 65.000 mile on it, this is going into the Landy as soon as the axle is fitted followed by a LT77 and LT230 when I get round to it, at which time I will turn the boost up
