Cheers.

Yep. Have haynes manual. Looks a bit complex. My 300 tdi was easy to do..

Haha. May come to that...

Hi all.Please could you give me an idea and any pointers on cylinder head removal on the L series. Head needs to come off and planning the work in a few days. Take it the timing belt has to come off etc. Thankyou.

Thanks for that. Will try it in gaylander. Was just wondering, seems complicated in the manual.. :eek:

Hi all. Anybody tell me if its a major pain to take the head off the L series 2.0 diesel engine? Starting the job soon if anyone could give me an idea please. Take it its timing belt etc etc.. Thanks..

Im hoping its the glow plugs anyhoo. Gonna change the 3 i can sort of get to then see what happens. Providing i can sort the broken one. It looks a descent motor apart from the starting problem.

Gonna give it a try when the weather improves a little. Any idea what the heads like to take off? Major headache or not too bad? :frusty:

It's the L series.. Stupid what it involves takin glow plugs out... Thinking of tryin a tap set b4 takin head off. Think they must be the original plugs.. :mad:

Hi, Started takin glow plugs out of V plate freelander 2.0 di but one has broken leaving the outer casing in the head. Any ideas. Can i tap a left hand thread into it and undo with a bolt? Anyone had this problem b4? Thanks.. :eek:

Hi all. As well as doing my discovery, clutch and some welding.. I have bought what i was hoping to be a bit of a bargain.. (guess not). Here goes.. I paid £550 for a V plate freelander 2.0 di. Some electrical faults windows lights etc which i have sorted. However i bought it as a non runner...

Right off to start the clutch now its not raining! would it be ok to put the landrover front end up on ramps, would this give me enough clearance?

updated some details, gonna make a start tomorrow :/

thanks again for the replies all :) seriously thinking about starting this tomorrow now, lol, so will be many more questions asked no doubt, just one more question for now, how do i upload a profile pic to side of me name? lol :) thanks all :)

no clutch at all, although pressure on pedal with all fluid as usual
