can anyone tell me if the head gasket problem has been fixed on these things; mate told me about the problems previous ones had, about 48 hours from picking mine up.

also who makes the engines for the 2004 freelander 1.8s.

thanks

its still a rover engine, they've modded the head gasket now but 2004 models will still have a problem

dunno but L series was ok, never had probs with them apart from the odd injection pump packing up, only ever done one head on an L series and that was cos it was cracked near an injector and seeping coolant out
