I was looking into the cooling system radiator cap, and came accross this video
$5 PART WILL SAVE YOUR POWERSTROKE FROM SELF DESTRUCTION - YouTube
If you watch the entire video, you will see that the guy in there test the old style of cap which appears to me the exact type as OEM for Freelanders KV6.
He says that a lot of old caps vent at much lower PSI, in turn lowering the bowling point.
I think this is a potential explanation to the various V6 Freelanders that are now having HGF here in USA and Canada.
I will be buying a new cap, (I cannot test my old one, I drilled it before I saw this, doh!)
This is the part number for that cap:
stant 10238 (there are many copies of this by Gate and such)
Using this information
http://www.stant.com/documents/12270 Testers section.pdf
I was able to find the stant part number for the tester adapter.
12026 to test car
12029 to test cap
And more importantly, the cap size and threads pitch to make your own tester:
M52 x 2.5
