Thanks for the advise guys, I have just completed the replacement, so hopfully that's her sorted for a while.

Is there much modification to make it fit, ie to the freeland box etc.

Out of interest what toyota is your engine out of, I've just done the head gasket on my 1.8 today with the usual mods but if it goes again I would just be looking to swap the engine for a better lump.

Out of interest is there any adjustment on the freelander clutch, when selecting reverse I near halve to put the pedal through the floor so it doesn't grind.

So its a nooooo to an ewp then.

I've just sripped the head of and the liners seem fine (not dropped) so I'm getting the head skimmed, gonna fit the good gasket (mls I think) ?, the upgraded stat + hoses and maybe an ewp. My yoke runs only 1 fan but has a space for another one, wud it be an idea to fit the second fan so that...

Oh yes here we go again. My fr1 k series has just blown the HG. After hours of reading very relevent info on this site, (no I don't want to burn it, nor does the missus want to sell it.) (Apart from this the wee truck is perfect) I was wondering wat if I just done away with the thermostat, surly...

So the ignition switch on them is like a lucas type that you find on plant machinery.

If ur mechanicaly minded you cud put a tester on the feed wire to ur glow plug, and see if its getting power, if you are then see how many seconds it takes from you turn the ignition until the relay cuts the power to the plugs, listen for the relay to click, you can check your glow plugs by...

I put 2t of quarry dust in my 109 pick up. Talk about power steering, lol. Came to the first corner and I near had an even bigger load on the drivers seat, I don't think the springs ever went back up the rite way,

Cheers: sometimes a person cant find the answer. So they need to ask. I,ll cheek that switch, althouh it doesn't do it all the time.

This has probly been asked before but does anyone know where I can buy black modular steels 15x7, possibly wheel and tyre package. My local landy place says I can't get those wheels for a freelander, they also told me I can't fit a 1.5 inch lift kit withought lots of mods, I'm fitting the lift...

nice new flat wipers and a bee sting aerial, well i fitted new wipers even though i need a wiper motor cause the wipers just stop any where they feel like it in the screen. atleast when they are deciding where to stop they dont squeek about it anymore.

i just bought the wife a 99 freelander last week and it came with a factory fitted fish bowl, after sitting in the boot for over an houre with the hose running over the roof i cudnt find any leaks even thru the lift off roof seals. but Litch might be onto something.

i,ll take that as a compliment.:cool2: under construction. 33x12.5 15 kl71, no better on/off road tyre.

im going for a set of insa turbo sahara,s next month when i figure out if im buying 15 or 16" black modulars or 8 spokes in black, to put them on, theres alot of contraversy on tyre sizes for a freelander, i normally get the wheels and tyres i want then make the vehicle fit the wheels, but the...
