    Gas smell.

    Brand new full exhaust last October. It smells like domestic gas and there is a drip coming from the rear diff. I have been on Bells engineering and under their symptoms section it does describe the ''noises'' I have been getting on a full lock reverse. It looks like the end of the road for...

    Gas smell.

    2000, W reg, 1.8 petrol. I have an intermitent gas smell coming from my Freelander. Having searched the forum I have come across this reply to the same question. The gas smell will be your rear diff over heating and burning the diff oil. This is mainly caused by mismatched tyres and...

    electric window cable

    Hello, I am currently in the middle of changing the pasenger side window cable after it snapped. Everything going well until I needed to remove the t-20 screws from the back of the regulator. The last one won't come out and the thread is starting to wear down on the inside. Does anyone know of a...

    Head gasket failure

    Yes, I know, but there is very little choice where I live. Some of the prices are scandalous.

    Head gasket failure

    I'm still having to use it until I sell it. I can't afford to fix it(if it has gone) and I don't want to sell it to some one else and they come back a week later saying it has gone. I am having trouble selling it without virtually giving it away. The second hand private values are terrible. Some...

    Head gasket failure

    I'm not losing any coolant or overheating. Not sure about which gasket fitted because I bought it after this had been done. If I hadn't checked the fluids yesterday I wouldn't know there was any problem at all. I'm trying to sell it anyway but I may have to part ex at a dealers.

    Head gasket failure

    Just seen my mechanic and he thinks the mayo is from too many short runs. The oil is probably from the last time the head gasket was done,june 2007, but it is possible it could be the first signs of failure so it's best to get rid as soon as possible. Thanks to all who replied.

    Cold start, now overheating.

    No, this is the mechanic who does everything properly and is straight. There's not many of them about, unfortunately. The other works for the garage who sold me the car in the first place. I have had a lot of trouble with them and the car. They even replaced the tail door handle with glue when...

    Cold start, now overheating.

    Just had it looked at by the mechanic. Absolutely no anti freeze in it whatsoever. No obvious damage and everything seems to be working ok. Getting sorted tomorrow. A very lucky escape. Thanks to all who replied.

    Cold start, now overheating.

    Just been out and started it. Heater working normally, starts ok, no sign of leaks or anything. I have noticed a gurgling sound behind the dash and a tapping when I press the accelerater. Also the expansion tank isn't getting hot even though the engine ran for 10 minutes.

    Cold start, now overheating.

    Coolant slightly brown, not sure about tasting it though. Could this be a major problem if I have run it and it was iced up?

    Cold start, now overheating.

    I ''assumed'' that the anti freeze level would have been sorted when the head gasket was fixed, but knowing the garage I'm not so sure now. Would the heat from the engine block not melt any ice if there was any? Is there anything I could check to see? Thanks.

    Cold start, now overheating.

    Hi All, Frosty night last night so when I started the Freelander this morning it made a horrible crunching sound, but it did start first time. Left it running whilst I scraped the windows. When I got in it and drove off there was still a slight crunching noise from the drivers side of the...

    Brake lights not working

    I haven't yet it's to dark now. Would they both go at once? I've never known two to blow at the same time, but it is a Freelander.

    Brake lights not working

    Hello All, I've just noticed my brake lights aren't working but the one above the spare wheel is. The rear side lights aren't working either. Everything else seems to be fine. It did rain heavily overnight if thats any help and they seemed to work okay yesterday. Many thanks.

    Won't f**king start

    Decided to charge the battery yesterday and while it was off checked and cleaned all the electrical connectors in the engine bay. Nothing obviously wrong. Put the battery back on and it started. Probably the damp and a low battery combined to cause the problem. So fingers (and everything else)...

    Won't f**king start

    The lights don't dim at all even when I turn the key. It had a long run on sunday daytime so the battery shouldn't be a problem. Only the last couple of times has the engine actually tried to start. I'm 99% certain that sunday nights rain has caused the problem, but in which part of the...
