Freelander 1.8 overheating Hi All
Not sure if I'm doing this right or not but Hello, I'm a new freelander owner for my sins
I have a 1.8 2002 Freelander which is causing me a few problems. He keeps overheating, at first I thought it was the cap on the expansion bottle which I replaced along with the bottle, it still overheated then I bought a new thermostat and fitted, still overheating. My temp gauge reads normal, until it blows its top and then go's straight up to the red and from what I can tell my fans don't kick in at all. I've tested the fans and they both work with a direct power source, so the last 2 things I can think is the temperature gauge sensor or the relay. The car runs fine as long as you are moving once I get stuck in any traffic he starts to boil,
Thanks for any help
