Sequential HGF is not unknown on the K series petrol engines.
The only proper fix (and even that is debatable) is to do the head gasket,(with the correct gasket), the lower engine rail, the remote thermostat and an EWP.

in your opinion ,hgf done properly with no other issues is enough
 
Semantics. never go for a petrol freelander unless you have deep pockets or an interest in rebuilding motor vehicles :(.

Wonder if the VCU is still there? :eek:

Hmmm

I love mine, but get yer point for the rank and file they are not ideal.

same with any car, do a search on common faults etc........

like the lack of a rear prop :(

unfortunately that is not true, apart from the usual get out clause :eek:.

I could equally say that No Landrover K series engine would suffer HGF if designed and built properly.

Your statement "hgf done properly with no other issues is enough" is only true in as much as as "Any vehicle which suffers more than one HGF cannot, in your opinion have been carried out correctly, otherwise it wouldnt happen again" A nice "catch all" statement, but not one that helps anyone.

Q "how do you know if HGF repair has been carried out correctly until it fails again? At which point you know it wasnt!"
 
you dont know ,but hopefully you use a mechaniic /engineer who knows what hes looking at and has enough experience to make judgements were necessary ,for it to go again it has to be a fault not cured or poor work or poor parts ,theres plenty running round were all parts are okay and so no overheating problem ,is your solution to fit a bigger fan to failing rad or fit new rad etc

fine words James - Who goes to a known dodgy mechanic / engineer?

Everyone goes to a "mechaniic /engineer who knows what hes looking at" until it is proved otherwise :mad:
 
thats one of lifes risks ,weres the issue with that ,fitting bigger fan doesnt cure poor rad just delays
 
No-One but you is talking about bigger fans :confused:.

Anyway none of this bickering helps the lady in question. :eek:
