I jetted my engine bay as soon as bought my 1.8 immediately had the same symptoms youre describing. Nice mechanics next door in Halfords knew exactly what had happened. They unscrewed I think the bits on top of the engine and just blew all the water out of each hole with an air compressor, job done, ran perfectly after that. Must say tho thought I'd fukked it!

1.8s don't like water

I spent ages waterproofing mine

you can submerge it now

Well, just in from farting around with the freelander again. No luck

I got the hair dryer and kitchen towel in there and dried plugs, wires, sensors etc....still the same. Time for food and cider methinks

On the bright side i have insured my old disco 200tdi so we are back on the road.

Thanks again for all your help and suggestions folks.
