Just bought a 01 Freelander 1.8 Petrol with suspected head gasket failure, mayonaise oil, not starting, blue smoke when starting, everything else is fine, new clutch, water pump, cam belt recently, now i just need a heads up on the HG replacement, gonna do it myself with a mechanic friend, dealer guy says there is an uprated gasket with shims (sounds scary), she's not overheating so probably no need for thermostat replacement, new water bottle cap? basically i would like to hear from a HG replacement success story for a 01 or close
