I have set the timing correct. The cams were correct. Adjusted the tensioner so it doesnt egg. The car will now try to turn over but nothing. There is a clicking from the cylinder block. Bent valve????? I am going to do a compression test later but I have to get my boy home to his mum =[. I...

Set fire to a freelander k series. Might just set thee timing right and hope the valves arent bent

I will check if I am on shift for those days. Would be good to go.

Ok will do. Where is this bash?

Yes a locking tool was used. I am expecting to have bent valves now if it doesnt start after I have set the timing correctly. I will also put half a tea spoon of oil in the cylinders. If all else fails I will contact one of the two people that you have suggested and I will supply them with...

I am in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. My Grandad skimmed the head and set the timing etc originally. He has done them before on k series as he had the same engine in his Rover. He is an engineer I might mention so is quite read up on this sort of stuff, but even he has given up. I will give it a go...

Unfortunately it isn't a wind up. I had set the timing correct and tensioned it etc. This has turned into a nightmare.

Also when turning it was making a clicking noise when I turned the wheel reverse whilst in 4th. Is this a problem?

I will take the bolts off tommorow and 100% make sure the timing is right. I just went and checked it and the belt is tight and then loose when turned. I assume that the tensioner is moving and the cam belt has slipped? Thank you for posting the pics for reference Fanatic

I will get a photo of the timing on here. I am sure i got it right. So it is unlikely that it is the fuel pump or filter or a blockage in the fuel line.

It was below 180. It was about 125. The throttle pedal does nothing when the engine was working on tow. The cable and throttle body work fine as it was working on idle just the once before it got to this state. There is a good spark to the plugs when it turns so I dont think it is the rotor...

:boink: Any suggestions:D I am glad you are a happy person.

Hello, I am Ben. I have been using this site since I bought my freelander. =] Happy now Freelaner ;) I was driving to work when the car decided to die. Just killed the engine. I managed to rill it into the car park at work as it was mostly down hill. I popped the bonnet and tried to start it...

Can anyone help. I know this is an old thread but I dont know how to make a new one. I have recently changed the head gasket on my k series, It wouldnt run unless it was bump started. The gasket wasnt sealed properly. I took it apart again and started over, new head bolts again. But now it is...

My landy is off the road at the moment. The clutch slave cylinder went. Had it towed back and the recovery worker noted that the handbrake didnt work too well. How do I adjust the cable. It has had new shoes within the past year
