    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    Well I for once have good news, means I'm a bit of a moron, but that isn't new information. I was removing the inlet manifold today when I noticed a stud was without a nut.... I asked if someone had taken it off to a resounding... no... That's right I have 6/7 nuts holding on the inlet...

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    Thank you both, really helpful! that means I am to replace the gasket and O2 Sensor coming soon, I will be sure to update here on the news, I should imagine then to replace the gasket the coolant needs to come out?

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    You'll have to forgive my innocence and stupidity, how does the inlet let coolant in? Does a coolant jacket / coolant galley run past/ through the inlet manifold? But even then, in my brain it would enter the combustion chamber and steam clean the pistons? Maybe it's best i take the manifold off...

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    That's looking down at the piston through the spark plug hole, that is the piston itself. Inlet manifold can let water in? as in just water like rain and puddles or coolant? I replaced the gasket when replacing the engine so it should be okay but maybe it got caught somewhere?

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    Excuse my incompetence... Shiny Fire Ring? I didn't think any of the HG sat over the piston/cylinder I take it you mean the Ring that sits on the edge of the HG:

    Drinking Coolant / Head Gasket

    Hey! As per usual I am having issues, at this point I work on this car for mechanical experience and not for the economic value 😂 Though recently the engine has been drinking coolant so I think it's going to need a HG so I ran a compression test... 175psi on all cylinders, It could be that my...

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    With no MOT i can't bring it down unfortunately, though I appreciate the offer, tried to bleed the brakes today but they won't? No air is coming out but the pedal goes to the floor and there are no leaks so super confused on that point but that's another story haha! As for the emissions I'm...

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    Guess once the MOT is done I will get looking into why that doesn't work, much like all other cars I've owned it should show when I turn the key to the accessory position right?

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    How interesting... Mine is a 50th anniversary 1.8k so I should imagine then it does have an EML, the car has a slight misfire, I should imagine that would show the EML? I don't have a P-Scan yet :(

    Older F1 EML? (SOLVED)

    Hey all! Thought I would ask for everyone's opinions as recently my MOT place was super confused as they think my EML has been blanked? Now... I thought that because this car F1 1.8 2000 is technically before the OBD-2 Requirement it does not have an EML hence it never showed up, I've seen...

    Freelander 1 All bolts etc Metric?

    Maybe Landrover thought let's switch it up for LHD models and use imperial, they've not really been known for thinking intelligently 😂

    Freelander 1 All bolts etc Metric?

    Personally I used all metric on my 1.8 engine swap, but even then most imperial have a slight crossover in sizes so to me it realy doesn't matter just use the right size 🤷‍♂️

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Fitted the Extended Brake hoses that I bought from Muddy Mods a while back, finally got around to it: What a sunny day!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Finally sorted the soft clutch after replacing the gearbox, new bracket and Slave Cylinder was needed so installed those, and while I was there, fixed a horrible squeal that we had on start, tightening the alternator, what a lovely start now 😂 Please forgive the state of the engine bay!!! I...

    Freelander 1 Engine support tool .. query. [ td4 ]

    Used this when I replaced my gearbox, and actually used it and some brute strength to remove the engine, problem I came across is that the engine sits very far forward in the engine bay and so you end up with the having to pull the engine backwards, which when trying to get to the coolant pump...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    100% The shape of the chisel I ended up having to use a pry bar make the gap between the UJ and bolt tint slam the thing in that smack it as hard as possible into the bolt to slightly move it, bit by bit, honestly might just buy another propshaft next time!

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Finally got around to those whirring VCU Bearings.... Oh Boy I hope I never have to do that again... The Middle to rear shaft popped off without issue... The Front to Mid? What a story. I started off by just me and a friend pulling. No Luck, so we decided to heat up the splines area to hope...
