folks, hi,
right. 2001 K-Series 1.8i freelander, head gasket gone, quoted ridiculous amounts of money to fix it: me mum wants nothing to do with it, so i've volunteered to find ways to get a little more than £200 scrap value out of it.
first question is of course: does anyone want to buy a freelander with an engine that doesn't work (the rest of it does). no? ok, next question
second question: what's the most practical thing to do, here, if looking to fit a replacement engine? please - no "put a 1,000HP bugatti veyron engine in it, YEAH!" answers (unless they're accompanied by an offer of a donor 1,000HP bugatti veyron).
third question: i've seen an L-Series Diesel engine for £300 - what else would be needed to fit it? there's someone else who has been asking the same question on all the land rover sites - he actually got some answers here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/k-series-l-series-147251.html but there's no other feedback.
any other suggestions greatly appreciated. especially interested to hear from people with success stories about putting random and inexpensive diesel engines into this vehicle.
