I'll give this ago. Searching for how to guides right now. Thanks guys.

Freezie went into the garage today for an MOT and I requested they have a look at what appears to be an oil leak that has been getting gradually worse over the last few weeks. The 1.8 Kalahari is 2003 model and the garage advised they couldn't see where the leak was coming from but expected it...

It's now running perfectly with the new battery.

Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post this and let you know I'll be back here if and when the fuel pump goes. I think what happened was when the car went in the garage on Monday to have the rear door latch and a weld on the exhaust and the mechanic didn't tighten the negative...

AA out and new battery required..

It is labour intensive for a mechanic to fix?

Sorry what a terribly worded starting thread by me. Freezie (nickname for our Freelander) went into the garage to get a new back door latch on Monday. Was fine on Tuesday, Wednesday then this morning took three attempts to get engine running. No previous signs that this was going to happen...

Freelander 1.8 Kalahari 2003 petrol cuts out 1 or 2 seconds after starting. Not if I'm covered for AA home start. Anyone experienced this kind problem before?

Going to give this a go in the morning. Thanks man.

Just over 5 years. Erm no comment re-service. *blushes*.

I haven't drained it ever. Is that an easy job or one for the local mechanic?

I keep my eye on the coolant weekly and top it up regularly.

Our 2003 1.8 Kalahari has an odd water flushing around the engine when the engine is first switched on. This has been happening for a few weeks now. Lately however this water flushing around the engine appears to be continuing when driving. Anyway have any idea's whats going on?

Located it. What exactly am I checking for? Sorry complete noob sometimes.. Is it as simple as swapping it with one of the other ones to see if it's working?

Perfect thanks guys. Replaced the fuse but still no horn.
