hi all
were do i start, well i bought my wife a really nice looking freelander on a T plate from a work collegue, its been his wifes daily drive for the last 8 years, its has had the obligetry head gasket failure but has been well looked after 95000 miles with some history nice black paintwork with front and side chrome bull bars lights ect and a nice grey leather interior with aircon and a LR / harmon Kardon stereo.
well it started running a bit rough and overheated so i thought HGF so i have spent the day in the garage getting it all apart only to find that a piston has cracked acroos the top with a small hole in the centre totally fecked
can i replace the piston by removing the sump with the engine in? or should i be looking for a replacment engine and if so were should i start?
totally ****ed off.....just couldn't believe what i found, gutted
what do you think?
