That you for the responses, Colthebrummie, Did you get a gurgling sound from the heater matrix when revving/accelerating?

Thank for all the replies, its only loosing a very slight amount of water and has had the head done in 2016 by the previous owner but you can never know to what standard the work was carried out. If it was anything but the 1.8 I would not be looking at the HG, but knowing the infamous problems...

Hi all, I am losing small amount of water (about a 1ml a mile) and getting a persistent gurgling sound from the heater matrix under acceleration despite bleed the system a few times I suspect the HG has very early signs of failure. I brought the car with a suspected HG failure and have done a...

interesting, did you manage to wire it in so the dash switch could disable it, and selecting reverse turned the system on?

it does have a tow bar fitted so that does make senses :( Have fitted the new Parking sensor ECU and now when I put it into reverses I have a long tone followed by a flashing amber light on the parking sensor button, guess that means something is wrong in the system, is the parking sensors them...

Hi all, I have just quickly swapped out the Parking Sensors ECU on my facelift 04 plate Freelander in the hope that it is the reason the system is not working. When taking off the rear wheel arch cover I found someone has " customised " the wiring loom before me! does any one know what this...

Thank you, I will change the cam cover gasket just to see if its that (and looks very easy) If leak persist I will replace the cam and crank oil seal. Thank you all

Thank you htr, I took the outer cam off quickly on my lunch hour, Took these photos, there's is defiantly some oil in there but not horrendous amounts, think the tenchner looked the most oily (photo 2)

Hi all, I have not had a proper chance to investigate but I am getting a reasonable oil leak from my 1.8 Freelander, It only seams to drop anything when it has been parked up after a run, not a constant drip (as far as I can tell) Before check everything, I was asking if there are any usual...

Thank you for the info, So it sound like bell are recommended but need to watch the replacement bearings, thank for the advice :-)

Thank you Nodge 68, is a recon unit as good as a new unit? the difference in prices is quite dramatic.

I need a new VCU (and bearings) and wanted to know if anyone has good (or bad) personal experiences of VCU remanufacture company's, specifically I have been looking at bell engineering: http://www.bellengineering.co.uk/freelander-1-products/

Thank you for the replies, I will keep on the search!

That bad are they! :-(

Does any have a pair of parcel shelf brakets for the hard plastic 3 door parcel shelf for sale? I have been looking over the internet but can find any.

Hi everyone, Just a quick question, does any one have a good condition 'soft back' hood and frame for sale? I am toying with the idea of remanufacturing some? Also if any one had some good photos of how the frame worked and attached to the car I would be very interested. Thanks in advance...

Hi Nodge68 & GrumpGal, Just a quick question as you have both been so helpful. If replacing the clutch is it easer to simply lift the ending out? looks more fun than opening a hold day lying on the floor. Kind regards, Angus Redman

Very kind offer but I don't think shed make it to my local town, never mind the 12,000 mile trip to NZ ;-) P.S the Pacific might slight exceed the Freelanders wading depth to!

Hi GrumpyGel, That make a lot of senses, I will replace the bush and see if it improves things, certainly looks a lot better job than changing the clutch! thank you

Once again thank you for your help Nodge68, I will look this over first :-)
