Hello! Thank you, that's very kind of you to reply to my plea! I actually did make a recording when we tried to start the engine - 'cos I found it was handy to do that when I was looking for a coolant leak under our poorly Alfred a few weeks ago! It will certainly make for some 'different'...

Dear Nodge68, I have just seen your message! Thank you for your very kind thoughts - very much appreciated, honestly. I don't know what I'm going to do to be honest - we're in a bit of a spot now, but my son and I are going to try to get a look at the belt around the crank pulley tomorrow...

Dear Shortbase, Thank you so much for your very, very kind words and your explanation which is exactly what is happening - the 'accessory' (as my son calls them) belts (alternator and water pump?) are turning. I WOULD say I cannot believe this constant run of bad luck we have, but sadly I...

Dear Shortbase, thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to reply to my posting - I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with my car having 'decided to spit his teeth out overnight'!! I don't travel many miles (3,500 approx. in the past year) and don't push my poor Alfred (Landy)...

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, and for your suggestion - I will investigate as much as I can but it looks as though I may have to say goodbye to my Alfred (Landrover). We've only travelled approx. 3,500 miles since we've had 'him', and those miles have not been hard driving. I...

Dear Freelance, Thank you for your kind reply! I'm so sorry for my delay in thanking you but I've only just seen your message - I don't seem to have set up any notification signal of messages received! (I have to look into that)! I'm just about to try turning the starter motor as Nodge68 has...

Dear Nodge68, Thank you so much for your reply! I'm so sorry I have only just seen it! I'm resigned to it being the belt as something is turning - there was a 'whirring' sound when I tried to start 'him'. The top pulleys do not turn. I am stunned that the belt has, seemingly, broken whilst...

Thank you! I will try to get a look at the lower section of the belt. I watched a video on how to remove the casings. I'll check out where the crank pulley is too. Thank you. Just seems such bad luck that maybe teeth have been stripped from the belt in just one area and that area happens to be...

Sorry to bother you but my Freelander is poorly again! So poorly this time he hasn't got the energy to fire up. There is no spark. He's been a bit under the weather recently but I don't do many miles and was hanging on until results of MOT (September) before I made decision on head gasket...

I wasn't looking for this exactly but THANK YOU, by (re) posting this you have helped my son & I who, this afternoon, came across wires under the rear seat when we were looking for the fuel pump access lid. Our wiring looks really poor & the rusted disc under the seat ... poor little Landy...

Hello, don't know if you'll see this after all this time but I wonder if you ever received the information you required as I'm looking for the same thing, or very similar - I have purchased a secondhand Freelander 1.8 Mk1 K-series, was in my element for the two weeks 'he' was running! Was...
