normal advice is to burn it, looks like you're halfway there !

Maybe more luck posting in the freelander section, or the engine section for freelanders.

Have a td4 myself so no good to you whatsoever for 1.8

good luck anyway

Nice introduction

If timing really is spot on then you must have an air leak on the inlet side.

(I assume you mean the manifold is red hot)

I wouls check crank position sensor it may have been moved during the work you had done on it.
Your timing is retarded, that is why the exhaust manifold is glowing red

as this is a duplicate fred i'll post what i did on his other one.

it will either be a clogged catalytic convertor or a faulty oxygen sensor.

fitting a new manifold cured the same problem on mine.
