Hi yes its very easy to fit a piston with the engine still in i have done many,
Take the sump off remove oil rail and away you are 2 bolts push it out, new piston in,
very simple with the head off

absolutely, dead engines, dont have timing which in turn, doesnt rotate an IRD
very appropriate for the title of this thread '1.8 K series fecked engine'

For the sake of the k-series enthusiasts, I hope it's the last time you'll be working on a k-series. We lose enough due to hgf nevermind incompetent mechanics, this is a school boy error made by a so called specialist.
At least you were honest, but spamming the forum within your first post, won't win you any favours,

ave seen yer "website" - looks like its just a google ad carrier
do you really expect peeps to trust a "company" who doesn't advertise their physical address and the only method of contact is via a mobile phone number ?

Like i have said im just starting out, i dont have a big bank balance for high cost marketing, i think my site covers whats needed and i have alot of happy customers i have 3 contracts with big companies rebuilding ird units, i am currently rebuilding over 15 irds a week so i cant be that rubbish.
All i have done is tried to let people know of a cheaper way to resolve there ird problems im not here trying to boast or spam just was advised by a customer to try joining some forums as freelander owners are always in need.
i'm not here to offend anyone i am actually trying to help, but seems as there are alot of either jelous people on here or just people without a life,
wanting to knock me down.
Please note i am an ird specialist only not freelander i have worked on freelanders for many years but now only specialise in ird units
All company's have to start somewhere so please dont knock the fact i dont have a flash website
regards
how about posting some images of your workshop, if only to illustrate you arent working off your kitchen table
information such as what qualification/experience/insurances you have might also help
