Hello, I am new to this forum and would like some advice. I have had a Freelander 1.8 for some months and this fault has recently developed. It has been losing coolant and overheating. It has the modified in-line thermostat, which seemed to be US, (pipe on one side red hot, pipe cool the other side of stat) so both thermostat and header tank cap replaced. Same problem exists, fans have never worked, it still overheats and pipes on either side of thermostat are hot and cold. Phoned the Land Rover dealer where I bought the stat and he said could be a cylinder head gasket problem (the modified stat requires a modified head gaket). Surely this would have been evident from when I bought the car. The temp gauge on the dash always shows normal. What do I do now, other than sell the car. I have not even started on the central locking, but one fault at a time!
