    1.8 engine stops without warning, one to get your teeth into

    Sorry, forgot to update the solution. The problem was a worn fuel pump. When the fuel level was low the bearings in the pump overheated and seized the pump, stopping fuel flow. When allowed to cool down fired up ok. A full tank kept the pump cool. Changed pump, all ok since

    Hi,l After owning a number of Rovers and my freelander and rebuilding the 1.8 K series as home projects, I love the engines. There is a reason why these light weight powerful engines are the power plant of choice for racing. However, the engine was released without enough testing so the weak...

    Freelander 1.8 under cooling

    Hi, Rather a long answer but to diagnose I have included some background info on the rather technical way that Rover show the coolant temperature and how they manage fuel intake. Despite the knock I think that the 1.8 k series is a stunning engine and I own a number of '75s as well as my...
