    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    Hi Alibro, having gone through the service history the HG was done around 15k ago and was apparently running well until it lost power. I have taken the cam cover off and aligned the top pulleys. I have then checked the bottom pulley which seems the line up ok. I haven't removed the crank...

    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    I have checked the fuel pressure which was ok 3.5 bar on idle Changed the inlet gasket in case of a leak I've since removed the cam cover, lots of mayo type deposits under the cover. So water getting in somewhere although coolant not going down which is strange.

    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    Right I've come to the conclusion the engine is beyond repair and will prob just scrap it now. I don't think a HG change will sort it. When it does start bogging down after a few minutes of idling it can be improved by removing the breather going back to the inlet manifold. Reading up it seems...

    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    Right I've changed the plugs over today and it's still running poorly. The coolant light has come back up again so I'm picking one up tomorrow. I found the fault code for it inside the instrument cluster. I have re-checked the compression which is 16psi on each pot I did notice on one...

    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    Thanks for getting back to me It will some times tick over which is very lumpy, and will not rev. No power. The coolant sensor goes to half way when you turn the ignition then shoots up to red with the light illuminated once the car has been started. The coolant looks clear possibly not much...

    Freelander 1 Freelander woes

    Hope someone can give me some pointers. I have just recently purchased a 2005 1.8 freelander with some running issues. Possible head gasket problem was my thought. It was running and driving when I picked it up, but the next day it's barley ticking over. Could the HG of completly failed and is...
