Hi Rob from Northants.
I'm Nigel from Hayling island, how do you do?
Nothing wrong with a 1.8 K series engine in a hippo, perfect family car with a bit of out of the box off road ability.
Just make sure you got AA membership and a new head to go on it and you'll be golden.

Hi dieseldog69,
The head gasket, waterpump, and belts have all been replaced but I have a coolant leak from where the thermostat sits in the steel tube at rear of engine. Just fitted a new thermostat housing thinking it was that, that was leaking, still losing fluid though, through the joint between steel pipe and thermostat housing. Apart from the O ring on the housing itself, should there be another O ring inside the steel tube as well.

No idea, not my area of expertise.
I might suggest heading down to the Freelander forum and asking for help there, them fellas know them inside and out.

Thanks very much for the welcome Hippo. I’m in the process of sorting out a leaking coolant pipe at the mo so will reserve judgement on whether this is a good or bad for the mo haha
