Freelander 1 what is mean?

I've been working on the KV6 for nearly 20 years. I can't see how a manifold can block, unless the cat has been blocked by some contaminant. The only place where it could block, is at the cat. I think it's highly unlikely to be honest.
If the cat is blocked, then smashing the substrate out will solve the problem. I think he's talking crap personally. ;)

Agreed 100%, from what I remember of the history of this vehicle, it was with some 'alleged' mechanic who could not time the cams. So, it has now gone to somebody else who says it has no compression. The first muppet who could not time the cams obviously must have 'assembled' it - as in MADE the pieces fit. It probably now has all bent valves as well. What does he mean by 'no compression' ? has he put a gauge on - if so what are the readings. ?.
He needs to do a compression test. There will still be compression IF the cats were blocked, also, unless 100 % blocked it would probably idle. If 100% blocked it would have huge difficulty turning over.
IF he has compression *which I doubt by the history* - then remove the top lambdas on each cat and test compression again.
I think the mechanic is another total muppet to be honest.

Yesterday he explained to me, when timing was wrong and valve was bending there's more explosion happened because of gas leaking.
And he checked pressure and there is no pressure inside
At this moment i remember some this frist start manifold coming glow maybe molding from inside

This last reading diagnostic from my car
It showing there's problems in bank 1,2 with sensor 1,2, i think i have big problem in catalytic

Your fault log is showing lots of stuff that is likely to have come from historic memory. Likely from switching on the ignition with most of the sensors unplugged.
A low O2 reading, means the either the O2 sensor is faulty, hasn't reached operating temperature or isn't plugged in (heater open circuit, is the clue here).
The cam position sensor isn't plugged in either, so the engine won't run anyway.
You are still having problems with muppet mechanics by the sounds of it.

Are these so called mechanics used to working with car's? Just a thought :confused:

Iwill be honest with you, i made fault before, when i give my car to wrong person from beginning i must give to professional people
So, now i give it to correct person maybe i will bay more but this is tax my choices
 
I don't think the manifolds are the problem. However looking at the faults shown on the diagnostic screen. Some sensors aren't plugged in. The engine won't run if the cam position sensor is unplugged. The diag is showing this, so it looks like the more "professional" mechanic, still doesn't know what he is doing.

I agree, I think Elameed should ask for the results of a compression test (PSI or BAR - whatever) - even if the cats were completely blocked (they certainly do not like neat petrol !) there is still compression. Also if the mechanic actually genuinely believes the cats are blocked - as I said before - remove the upper lambda sensor and attach a pressure gauge to that whilst cranking - that will give the appropriate info.

Last news, the mechanic called me and told me engine working perfectly and change one sensor
Now i going to see it
