Consistency and levels of fluid as they were after HG replacement. Also check them religiously now, 1/2 hour before engine cut out, they were checked.

Hi all, Own 1.8 K series (1999), had hg replaced along with water pump, battery, inlet manifold hose, oil and coolant flushes back in Oct. Yesterday I decided this is far too expensive to run and was enroute to Wales to sell. However on M4 started to judder while I was doing a steady 70mph...

Hi, After having HG replaced I said to mech about a creaking when turning full lock. Said I was worried incase VCU, he mentioned it was a problem LR were aware of and said it was a hairline fracture where a bolt and spacer is attached to the sub-frame. As I have just forked out (although...

Cheers Ianda12, Just checked the link. Will check for leaks over the coming days and weeks, if I find it to be leaking would silicone damage seals, paint work etc? Will also be removing the fuse. Cheers

Hi Willo, Thanks for that was worried if careful manipulation or brute force would damage it, but its already buggered! All sorted now. Back in place, did not silicone as I will replace motor and rails pretty soon. Cheers

Hi all, Trying to stop the little one whinging I opened my sunroof and stuck my hand out. Went to shut and started sticking, one side appeared uneven! Me and the mrs tried to straighten and shut manually. Got to the point where the front seal appears snug with the roof, however cannot drop it...

Hi all, was just looking for some advice but finally found it for myself! Read on another forum from a few years ago, that a camtec gasket is best option, also found oil rail, and head bolts. I had started the HG replacemant myself but unable to get one of the alternator bolts off. Found a...

Hi all, Have a 1.8 Freelander and surprise, surprise... Replacing HG. Found the part a few months ago for £210, but cant for the life of me find the site. Been looking again and just see links for ebay with it selling for about £60! This surely cant be right can it? Anyway just wondered if...

Cheers Sean, Looks as complicated as I thought! Should I sent the head off to be skimmed? Is that necessary or would a stanley knife blade do the trick. Is there any point in giving everything a good clean when I remove it? If so, what should I use? Thanks

Hi all, Replacing head gasket on my 1.8 petrol and also what I believe to be flow pipe (comes out of the right hand side on the top of the engine, split). Would appreciate advice eg method/technique, specialist tools etc. If it is too long winded, which I suspect it is then if you could...

Hi there, been searching google about bumper conversions and your link came up. Just wondering where you got the parts from, time it took and if you still had the pictures (the links are no longer available). Cheers Craig (landy luvver)

Cheers Carpy! Bear in mind, I'm a complete novice on the subject, But drop me a line. Thanks

Cheers guys will also keep a note of 'Dorset Vogue!' he'll be on the radar!!

Nice one Dazz. I believe I was on this site before I bought my freelander and totally forgot about it! Now saved in favourites.

Yeah definitely the 'dizzy', but about 4 inches underneath that, may just be a genuine oil spill but what is it the oil is collected on? Need a Haynes manual, is that the best one, also saw this Land Rover workshop manual on amazon for £37! Which would be the better purchase? Does anyone know if...

Cheers Sean and Optimus good advice. Think I may use a brush, will have a butchers underneath when I get it back from the garage! any advice on prep work required? Thanks

Hi all. Was told to check this section out as at some green lane days the more experienced members show the inexperienced ones a thing or two. I was just wondering if there were any specific events where I could learn a thing or 2 about my fantastically reliable freelander (signs to look out...

Cheers guys. So for a freelander just a waste of money!?

Right may not be that but if you are aware of the engine it was below the oil filler to the right, it was on the top of a surface and seemed to have been there for a while judging by the dirt in it!
