So it took longer then it should have to remove the engine out of the freelander, but I succeed, and it came home with me. I popped the heads off, and found the gasket between 3-5 was blown. The heads looks ok at first glance, still need to clean them up, and the block looks like it is ok as...

I was reading about your engine issues last night, thanks for a better picture, hopefully it won't be that bad, but I do have a few other hippos to choose from as well. Thanks For the replies so far.

Awesome thank you, I was thinking of doing all that, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything else.

So, if you remember way back when I was trying to fix a low oil pressure in my wife's hippo, we had decided to just let it run its course and wait until the engine exploded as I could not find a replacement engine. So fast forward to today and the wreaking yard now have a total of 4...

I'll be heading back tomorrow, hopefully it won't be raining. I'll have to check out the window regulators, as well as some of the plastic lights. The engine and trans.... Who knows, I'm assuming it's a hgf. As for the trans, same kinda deal, I can't hear it run or drive, all the accessory...

So as the title says what spare parts do you keep for the freelanders? I've come across a parts car, and I've grabbed the parts I need to fix the wife's freelander, ( cam sensor, and crank sensors for the hard starting and coil pack for random misfire) what else do I need to get? I've waited a...

More issues have shown up in this hippo, so now it's starting to look like the wife wants something more reliable for her daily driver. It's starting to look like we will be parting ways sooner then later, thanks for the info on the bearing shells, we will see what she wants to do with the...

As well is there a good supplier for bearings? I'm searching ebay, but not finding much at he moment, as well do you know what the P/N is, it makes searching so much easier. Thanks

That doesn't sound too bad of a job to do, since I already have done the timing belts, installed a new oil pump. No gaskets is a bonus, in a cheep rebuild. Is there a way to know what shells were installed already? Or will I have to open it up first and see? I'd like to have everything sitting...

The removal is not a problem. If I'm gonna do this on the cheep, besides for the bearing shells, anything else that I need to order? I haven't looked to much into it just yet, I'm not looking at doing a full rebuild, as the car is not worth too much so the less I put into it the better. I'm...

So I'm bring this back from the dead, I found a new oil pump off ebay, that was a reasonable price but still more then I wanted to pay! So the last 4 days I've swapped out the pump and did the timing belts since I had to remove them anyways. Started it up, no issues with the timing ( no tool...

I've seen that pump, it's 195 us plus shipping of 20 us, it's just shy of 300 can. If I knew this was gonna fix the eng I'd spend that kinda cash, but....... I don't. I was seeing if someone had a hgf eng and swapped in another eng and had the hgf engine lying around waiting to go for...

100gbp turns into 200 canadian, plus shipping, so it's minimum 300 to the door, the last time I searched I was closer to 400 with shipping. I can't have the car down for repairs for long, so I'd rather swap out the pump with a different one, just time wise. And if it's not the pump, I'm gonna...

So, still have the issue, been searching for a freelander with a bad engine to scavenge an oil pump from. No luck over here on this side of the pond, there were a bunch when I was having issues, and now that I'm needing parts they are all gone. So does anybody have a oil pump from a kv6...

So I pulled the relief valve out, it was fairly clean, but I cleaned it anyways. Well it didn't help at all, I still get the light flickering on at idle. I didn't clean out the cooler yet, but that's gonna have to wait untill my days off again. I'm gonna try and get a pump order up so I can...

I'm the .......3-4 owner maybe not really sure. I didn't get history with the car, when I got it it had a bunch of minor issues that I've fixed over the last year or so. I'm currently on the hunt now for an oil pump, wait untill one showed up in the wreaking yard so I can get the parts. I'm...

Awesome, thank you Nodge, I guess I know what I'm doing this afternoon, instead of playing with my triumph tr2! I went out to the auto wreakers and all the freelanders are gone, so if it's the pump I'll be searching for another freelander to show up in the yard! I sure hope it's just the relief...

Sorry forgot to mention that I had removed the oil pick up pipe and the "O" ring was good, then replaced with a new one. How do I check if the oil pump relief valve is good, or the springs? Do I have to remove the eng to do this or can I pull them insitu? From the looks of the online manual, I...

Good afternoon from Canada So, our freelander with the kv6 has recently developed low oil pressure issue, only after it get up to operating temperatures. So a 10 min drive on the highway at 100 km/h get us into the city and then the low oil pressure light flickers at idle. So upon searching...

I haven't seen the car yet just pictures, but it's listed as a 03/04( don't remember). I often see them with blown motors, up for sale, just never being parted out. I guess I'll be grabbing the bits I need to keep her car going/fixed I guess Thanks
