I took my Freelander down to our local garage today its only 2 miles from home, to ask for some information about the "K" seies as my husband was in no fit state to explain.
The lovely chap that owns it had a look and said the car was in very good condition for the year and yes the engines have a nasty habit of being expensive to repair when they become overheated. ( NO CAUSTIC COMENTS AT ALL ).
He too sugested that the coolant mods need doing as soon as possible before anything happens. I did lose about 3 cups of coolant over 3 or 4 days which my husband was worried about due to the comments on this site but the chap in the garage found a clip had rusted and the hose was slightly loose so he replaced it. Seemed to know exactly where to look. Maybe that will fix it.
He did tell me though that this is an almost identical engine as fitted in some of the cars he looks after and they have cooling problems more than Freelanders. (He may be just trying to stop me worrying)
However he did say that they had an engineer that had done 100's on Rovers, MG's and Freelanders and so far have had 100% success rate. He won't do them unless he fits all the mods at the same time. ( Expensive if he did it but my husband will not have to hurry any work that will need doing as I use the Agila in Town as its easy to park.
Havn't told my husband yet but it may cheer him up when I do.

Had my moan so I will go back to what I should be doing
Looking after my family and patients.
Thanks to those that understood
I am sorry for the others of you that could not understand my anger and frustration and felt the need to ridicule me and my husband even after me explaing our situation.
I found this very difficult to do in such a public place, normally we are a very private family and do not share our problems with others.
I have just checked a few threads in the Range Rover forum, maybe I was lucky but the ones I read there were sensible questions and sensible answers and this was the Forum he used before he became ill.
It's my fault that has caused him all this trouble I feel very sad just how horrid some people can be when all he was trying to do was to help me.
No doubt someone will still have something stupid to say after this post.

I is a good guy and ratty, buster and buckshot are idiots
- I bin telling yu that for years .
Mrs R - I haven't received a PDF yet. When I do, I will look at it for ya.
Try and chill. Difficult I know, but the peeps that yu have criticised are amongst the most knowledgable on this site. It is just the way on this site. If and when yu or your husband meet up with these peeps, yu will find out just how helpful they can really be.

It's funny how people hide behind the word 'banter' if this guy had bought a defender or something that a small selection of people on this site think is a more credible landrover would behave been spoken to in the same way? It seems to me he came here looking for help, which he received in some ways, but was there any need for the F ing and blinding, telling him to burn his car etc etc? I feel a bit sad that the people who claim to be the most knowledgeable are also the most rude. Why spam someone's thread with insults when the guy has clearly made several posts stating he does not like it. It's a sad day for landrover zone when threads like this appear. This is a good forum but seriously what has been going on needs to stop. I know by saying this I'm leaving myself open for all sorts of abuse but I have always tried to be helpful on this forum. Seems to me a small majority spoil it for everyone.

i like this site but some times there is a childish pack bullying mentality which follows after as if trying to prove whos side there on ,it that i find that most disturbing for grown men /women,an argument including strong language between two is fine or more if robust constructive or firmly held beliefs,
See folks!

My dear Mrs. Renger,
You come across as being nothing more than a hypocrite and an insensitive bully towards your husband.
This is a public forum and we all have the right to our own opinions, they may be worthless to you or to others but they are important to us, however, that is all they are, opinions. Yet you seem to assume you have the right to demand that we should understand, "get" and blindly accept your opinion.
You then ask "Why the hostility?"
You seem to have the opinion that is it ok for you to be hostile towards us. Isn't that double standards and hypocritical?
You go on to claim that we have no compassion and rant about a terminally ill child. If your allegedly terminally ill family member is nothing more than a figment of your imagination I doubt you know enough about any of us to justify the claim that we have no compassion. Nor do you display much in the way of compassion towards this aforementioned child by using him/her as a weapon to heap unjustified, disparaging remarks, carte blanche, upon members of this forum.
Then you state that "There is no way to ask or say anything on here" etc.
My experience has shown that most of the "inane" or "stupid" responses have been offered as "tongue in cheek" witticisms rather than personal attacks and the persons who tend to make these witticisms are the ones who know that someone with the correct information you seek will be along shortly to dispense his knowledge, in the meantime, the witticisms let you know that your post has been seen, read and is not being ignored. By adding witticisms these people are (deliberately or otherwise) helping to keep your post near the top of the index pages where it will be noticed much quicker by those who have the information you seek and are generous enough to offer it freely.
Here in the UK we are fortunate enough to live in a free country and we have the right to freedom of speech. Sadly, the way you come across by stating things like "I have told him to stay away" etc. makes it seem like Mr. Renger is incapable of making decisions for himself (or has had that right revoked by your good self) and is totally under your control, a sad state for any self-respecting person to find themselves in. As a free-thinking adult, I would find this a very stressful situation and when heaped upon my shoulders, especially if I had a vulnerable and seriously ill child to care for, it would drive me to the verge of instability or insanity.
Therefore madam, I would suggest, with all due respect to you, that you should try looking nearer home for the problems in your lives. Once you see these problems, if any actually exist, I would respectfully suggest you ask a professional body for help with them instead of venting your anger upon a generally helpful, well-meaning, cheerful and up-lifting community of people who frequent forums such as LZ.
Finally, Mrs. & Mr. Renger, if your situation is genuinely as you describe then my heart goes out to you and I thank mother nature that I do not find myself in such a horrifying set of circumstances as you do.
May your God go with you and your family.
