Cheers thanks. I've read about the water pump issues elsewhere on the forum so popped mine out this morning, the plastic blades were in two pieces and the back bit had fallen off! I've got a replacement one with the metal blades, only £40, will fit it tomorrow and refil as per the above...

Will give it a go! Cheers

How do I check for air in system? I filled it up via the top hose and the heater blows hot, as it was warming up the coolant rose from max mark to the top of the bottle, I splashed some out and put the cap back on and very soon the hoses were solid. Waited a bit and carefully took the cap off...

Hi. Yep just done it, it was a breeze, thank you! Bad news - just fired her up and the system is pressurising, guess I've got a head gasket to play with next!!

Thanks for the email datatek.

Crikey that's not too expensive. One bit that was worrying me is that the nugget who owned the lemon before me has attacked the viscous fan nut with god knows what and mutilated it! I do not think that it will remove easily?? Any tips??

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply, yes it has air con, any cheap fix would be fab. The engine was hot, it wasn't my hand, used the wife's!! I do miss my old 110csw, yes she was a V8 but what a machine!!

I have just changed ours from air to coils, best thing I have ever done. Air was totally unreliable, going down whilst towing on the M1 wasn't funny. The ride is no different and I can once again trust my D2! Ps it gets used on and off road, tows and usually has a decent load in the rear.

Hi, I have a front bumper in blue and two headlights all in perfect condition from my 98 freelander 5 door after doing a 2004 upgrade. Any good to anyone? I'm in Wakefield, West Yorks.

Not if you're handy with an angle grinder!!! :) Mine broke just as was starting the job (typical) so all I had was a hacksaw which did the job perfectly. The new headlamps are bigger and won't fit into the recesses in the old front panel so you just need to make them larger. I took about 2 inch...

Hi, i've just completed this upgrade today on my 98 freelander. I have got two headlamp wiring connectors from a rover 75 which fit great however - I have worked out which wires do what from the car and partially stripped the new headlamps so I can connect the wires from the headlamps to the old...
