Hi Guys, I have a 2001 freelander KV6. I have the 3 amigos and looking for some help to fix it. I took it to local garage to get the codes read and here (Attached) is what I got. As someone mentioned on this thread, I also hear a tinkling sound (like a metal strip scraping against a syrface)...

Thanks Nodge. Do you think the low compression on 2 cylinders could be due to timing issue? We changed the 2 link belts when changing the head gasket.

HI, Thank you for kind advice. I found another mechanic who specialises in Land Rovers. When discussed with him, his view was that it could be a timing issue. Since we replaced the timing belts along with Water pump when we opened up the engine for head gasket. We did not have the specific...

Hi Nodge68, Sorry for delayed response. My mechanic's father was not well hence no work on KV6. The PSI is apparently 25 and 50 in the two pistons diagnosed with problem. Where as the rest are close to 200. Numbers can be tad different as he mentioned it a few weeks back. I would like to...

Yes, the valves are sealed properly. Thats what I have been told. Apparently the piston is loose in the bore and compression is not as required. Can over heating do this? The original problem it had was engine heating. The mileage on the meter shows 76k (could be tempered). Whats huge mileage...

Hi guys. So the gasket and timing belt was successfully replaced. Engine fired up but is missing. Apparently compression in piston 1 and 3 is not correct. My mechanic thinks that the pistons should be replaced. Can someone guide me with the colour coding...

Thank you everyone for your support. I am really glad to learn that the land rover community is strong and supportive. I guess we all feel the pain and joy of owning a LR. After much deliberation and practically no input from the local LR dealrship, I have decided to replace the Head Gasket...

Thanks for suggesting a way forward. Just spoke to tge LR guys and they think its an issue with the fan. The temp where fan should kick in, it stays off. The fan doesnt kick in unless Air conditioning is turned on. They have put fan off of ECU and on direct for now and ran the car for 25 mins...

Hi Just bought my first landrover despite all advice against it. Its a beautiful 2001, Freelander 1 with a 2.5 V6 petrol engine. Its in good shape and the mileage shows at 75K km. First drive (30km), I noticed the fan running really hard, at around 60km, i noticed the temp gauge go up very close...
