Wouldn't disagree with you mate, just don't tell the others....

That is something at least. Disco's is reasonably civilised eh what.

To be fair, Hippo et al have been giving the tratterers hell lately :D.

I seem to recall birds going nuts for a fella with similar inclanations ;). Well, tis not a runner - bought it to break. Sat on my drive falling to bits slowly. Sorta slipped my mind I guess :eek:. Oh and Diesel Do owns 50% of it!! So I'm only half a murderer-wagon owner!

HA :D!! Threeche! I totally fooking forgot about than LOL. What can I say, murder-wagon ownership still hasn't sunk in fully :hippie:.

I'll never fully trust it, but it's me motor and it is what it is.

Yaaaawn. I'd rather be associated with hairdresses and gays than kiddy-fiddling murders like Disco owners are these days.

Bleddy Rover. But say what you will, they're a ****load easier to fix than modern lumps and drive as nicely when in good shape :). But what kind of regular owner is going tp put up with undoing four bolts to put new bushes in? Easier to just go on Honest John and bitch about it.

You won't be able to tell be looking at the bushes as they are inside the bracket. They don't seem to wear as much as they just go soft. But they are already too soft if you ask me.

The car jumped around alot when moving slowly in traffic, and when I dropped the clutch it would thump rather nastily. You can test it my having someone let the clutch up to the bite while you're handbraked and if the engine jumps around inside the bay then chances are they're fecked. TBH...

The coolant hasn't dropped at all and the heater still works!

Law of economics mate. Most won't last the winter with needing a fix. It's norra numpties car like the slitty tratters.

There are alot of real **** artists out there who know they can charge a premium for the badge eh. Swings and roundabouts mate.

Too much for a 1.8. £3200 max I'd say, unless it has brand new tyres and a **** load of accessories on it or something. Mine is the same but with 122k on it, valued at around £2700.

Seems to be really quietening down now, 50 feels alot more sedate than it did before.

After a few dozen miles the vibration is greatly reduced - if anything it's now quieter at around 40 than before. I guess the bushes just need to bed in a bit.

My top un was nowhere near as bad as the bottom one. But I got two in the box so fitted both.

The oil rail was standard on 2003 Freelanders wasn't it? I fitted new bolts when I did the last HG. It didn't seem to seal properly even though I had the head skimmed. Tbh I think the engine is goosed, the liners were right on the limit.

I'll certainly look into that if I do a rebuild mate, sounds really good!

It's a case of one less thing is broke, therefore I int going to complain. Hopefully the head bolt retorque will sort of the gas leak. The head bolts still feel loose though, I don't trust the rover settings at all - I went 270 degrees over reccomended on the angular tightening and they still...
