Hi All,

Due to pick up a '55' 1.8 Freelander on Friday. I guess this is one of the last 1.8's about, is it still prone to the dreaded head-gasket problem??

Anything else I should be wary of??

Thanks in advance

Er like welcome mib , dont worry bout all the sob storys lots about wiv no problems,just check oil and water on a regular basis ,any problems come here first, youll get all the help and support ya need, enjoy. . .:)
 
Well, the Freelander was picked up yesterday (Friday) the wife drove it home, then I went off to work.

Today went for a bit of a spin.....chucking it down, cab steams up...ahh turn air con on that'll soon clear it up I thought!! Erm....no!!

Got home lifted the bonnet, found the A/C compressor, switched on, looks as though the solenoid hasn't pulled in (outer part of pulley stationary) :mad:

Just nipped out tonight, thought....I'll just see what the different stages of lighting look like.......no side lights on passenger side..:mad:

Also can anybody tell me if the radio/heater/electric window controls should illuminate when the lights are turned on??

I feel a phone call to the $tealer coming on tomorrow!!

Cheers

Dont bother with a phone call MIB! get yerself down there make a fuss in the show room, And Dont let the ****s charge you for the A'C re-gass and for fixing the display lights etc.
You've paid for it once, It should be working!

Tell em mondo sent ya! Sort it NOW!!!!:D
 
I aint noticed my window windin buttons , but i would have thought they should illuminate when you switch on the side lights,
but then again I aint noticed me sidelights??:D
