    1.8 Engine mounts

    Hi all I know this sounds like a knob question and even though I have a Haynes manual and rave I still want to make sure that I get this right. The question is how many engine mounts are there on a 1.8 2003 Freelander, are they easy to replace and are they expensive. Many thanks George:confused:

    Leak from heater in passenger footwell

    Yep I agree however if you do a coolant change every 2 years including a system flush then using a rad weld type product should not be a problem ( I hope).

    Leak from heater in passenger footwell

    I had the same problem 2 years ago and its very likely the heater matrix on the way out. I fixed it with rad weld and not lost a drop of coolant since. Never heard that it's a sign of HG on its way out though.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Washed the bird crap off then spent the next 2 hours polishing paint work went in for a cuppa only to come out 10 mins later to find that all my hard work was a waste of time as the bird crap has returned. So next purchase in the car cleaning department will be a air rifle. :violent:
