Hi, Im msecco a newbie! Id just like to thank the members past posts for helping me overcome what i thought was headgasket failure on my freelander (gaylander,iknow!)v6 that i bought last week, it was bubbling back into the expansion bottle and smelling well hot. Thanks to one of the posts i noticed some black plastic bits in the bottle, ordered one emanual , one thermo kit from rimmers and i completed the job today!!:) its a 47k 2001 v6,sheltered never been off road ex demonstrator and the thermostat was jammed up and the inteconecting plastic pipe had started to break up . Pretty stupid design the thermo in a sealed unit...! Also a pig to get to! But mission acomplished, and after running her up for an hour on the drive i even found out my previously sileny cooling fans work. I have beled it through I hope. Now looking forward to accesorising! Just one question to the jedi's when i took off the engine cover i found a block connector not connected to ought has two wires one grey and runs off the loom that runs across the rear of engine cover, rear right hand corner as you look in.All other connections accounted for, just curious if any one knows what it might be for, or is it an optional that i just dont have..? Many thanks
 
Can't answer your question (post in the Freelander section if you don't get an answer here) but WELCOME

From your first post you'll fit right in - good on you for knowing it's a gaylander. All you have to now is wait to be invited to burn it or be asked if the doors have fallen off yet:D
 
Thank you!Well cant afford a proper one, just bought a great dane, got 4 kids and an old xj6 that i just cant get them in! It was cheap and clean.. Anyone want an old jag???
