Hi there.
I have a 2001 Freelander 1.8 s which has had a head gasket repair 5 months ago.
It has been driving like a dream until now.
On start up i get a little white smoke from exhaust, a sweet smell but drives perfectly.
Once the engine is warmed up it starts to missfire and after a small drive the coolant level drops.
Yesterday i went for an hours drive and when i pulled up at my destination steam was billowing out from the expansion tank. Once it had cooled down and coolant was topped up it drove fine and this morning was all good again.
Is this a head gasket problem or something else?
I love the car and just want it fixed. Any help will be appreciated as i have read so many threads and still can't pinpoint what the problem is.
Thanks
Steve
