k folks i kinda have a prob with my freelander heard a little pop sounded like a ballon popping then a min r so after i get a flashing engine light on the dash now someone says could be the head gasket which i hope its not as the im told the head was done before i bought it a couple month ago and the discovery i had died when the head went :Cry::Cry:so ant 1 got an idea? also getting a chemical smell coming from the water bottle. any help would be much appreciated :)
 
it is using water but not all the time seem tempermental chemical smell worse then usual its a 2003 1.8 petrol been told the head was done @ 53k has 70k on it now only got it couple months ago so cant say i noticed a difference in driving it or the sound.
 
I presume its the ubiquitos head gasket munching K series?
Check the oil, is it mixed with owt?
Check t'water has it got oil in it?

If still unsure, compression or cooling system pressure check should confirm the doom.
 
I had something like this. A small bang and lack of water. then niticed water on the floor under the car. It turned out to be the heater matrix.
 
well thanks 4 that folks head is def gone now it fried n died wen was takin it in d garage but hopefully they can work there magic fingers crossed
 
well got my freelander back from garage after over a week been advised now to get rid of it as im told the petrol are pants and give loads of grief :( thanks all for the advice :)
