anyone?

All, I havea bad master and two leaking brake cyl in the rear of my wife's Gen I 2000 Freelander. Can I use the same brake cylinders and master cylinder from the V6 on this car? I can get these localy. If they are specal to the 1.8 I have to ship half way arond the world. Can anyone confirm...

Has anyone tried running without a Tstat on the 1.8? My housing cracked so I ordered a new one. I hadn't seen the upgrade kit before I ordered the part. My question is this, Has anyone tried running this motor open? With No Tstat in the housing? It is very hot here all year round, never...

179,000km so far petro 1.8

Ok, So my wife picked one up with 179,000K on it. 1.8L and now we live with it. I am in the tropics so even at night the engine is never under 25 deg C I wonder if that has anyting to do with the ticks on the clock? I did just have a Tstat let go. I wish I knew about the other kit as I just...

This is the old one. I made this tool to pull the broken part out of the block. I got away without pulling the waterpump. Parts ordered.

Ok, pulled the T stat out of the block. 3 Tough bolts to get out under the intake. If I had access to parts I would have pulled the intake to do this job. Now I need to figure out how this O-ring sits on there. Any one have any ideas? Mine dosen't look like this. There isn't a ridge for...

Ok I know this isn't the best read on the board but I am still working on a plan. I am going to pull the T-stat housing out tonight. If I can repair or replace the O-ring I may be back in busness. I found some instructions on burping the cooling system on another site. Does anyone else...

Could somone confirm the T stat housing on this one is the PEM10025L There is no dealer on the island so I have to guess my way through the part numbers

I just scoped the leak and it really looks like the leak is between the pump and what I believe is a T stat housing. How do I pull that chunk of plastic out of there safely? I only see one bolt. Is there any chance that could be the leak? How do those two parts seeal?

I have a shopping cart filled out with Famous Four, just waiting on confirm of shipping info. Is this the site sponsor? Nice if I can pay it back. I tried to buy these parts out of Miami and wholey cow you would think I asked for parts for the Space Shuttle! 1.8L? What's that?

It is Lhand drive so I may want to take the other wheel off :eek: It is funny they moved the wheel over but didn't bother with the hood latch!

Thanks for the info. I have no books or manuals. Everyting I have is in dutch and no good to me. It is laid up till it is fixed. Does anyone have a good link to order the kits, tools manual or online manual? Fed-ex takes 5 days here so I need to order this stuff today.

Gas 4cyl (thank goodness! That v6 looks tough) Gen I Year 2000

My wife's freelander is loosing water very quickly. I think I have tracked the water to the back of the water pump. Everything is dry on the timing set, just wet on the back. Is this a common problem? I am having trouble gaining access to the bottom of the engine as there is some sort of a...

All the bolts appear to be intact.

Not sure how to check if it is square. Folks down her do what they have to to stay on the road.

I just went out to the car and all the tires are 235/55 r17 Now for the odd part. I put a tape on them from asphalt ( not perfectly flat but close) LF is a pirelli scorpion 66cm RF is a pirelli scorpion 66cm RR is a Michelin pilot primacy 67.3cm or so LR is a Michelin piolit mx4 67cm Spare is...

Ya, me too! I only spent 5 min under it and that didn't catch my eye. Well it was cheap, so let's see what life is like on a tropic island with no dealer parts or rover mechanics... :D I have a good welding and and fab guy at work so I am not too worried about the weld. I have a...

Oh the rear sub frame is freshly welded to the car....
