Freelander 1 Can I get a 1.8 exhaust manifold heat shield?

siwalkster · Sep 19, 2017

Hi
I acquired a Freelander 1 2006 1.8 and the wires in the vicinity of the exhaust manifold are getting toasted.
I can't find an exhaust heat shield part listed anywhere on the web (I haven't asked a dealer, preferring after market prices).

Does this part exist and where can I get one (for not too many pennies)?

Conversely can I protect the wiring harness with standard off the shelf heat shielding instead? Then manage without a manifold heat shield.

Thanks
Simon

I think you're after item 5 on this page...

I would suggest that your best bet for a reasonably price part would be a breakers. Make sure you get the bolts for it as well (if there are any that aren't on your engine).

I'm pretty sure it's the same as on the Rover cars with the K series motor to that could be another source.

Yes, you're right: it'll be a standard part on any k-series - I have a hunch it's the same whatever the engine size; a check on the part numbers will confirm.

The wiring can also be protected with an aftermarket heat protection material. It comes in self adhesive or tie on forms. It's designed to help reflect infrared heat radiation away from delicate wiring and pipes.

Like this. Cheap and affective. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/5cm-x-5m-R...%3A9eba41ad15e0ab14e0f4799afff1caf3%7Ciid%3A2

My heat shield is missing too. So I wrapped sticky aluminium tape around the alternator's cables and then added a piece of flexi cable conduit also wrapped in that aluminium tape.
