MARKSURRY should be around in a bit ,he had 1 and can tell you all about them and there values

same happened to tuesday,so popped into local independant and it needs a degas/regas and reciever/drier £100 +vat,wouldn`t like to try them top up kits as you need to vacum it all out and put in measured lub(keeps the parts and seals moving) and refidgerant,typicial aint it on the hottest days...

nope i don`t mean that L/R will fix it for free you`d have to try knocking on longbridge`s door for that one,what i meant was ,rovers engine aye used any more and you get 3 yrs warrenty! most will comeing to an end soon,by the way doe forget ya coolent bottle with the ratchet cap that ya cor...

A thought for those of you with a recent HGF. LR have released a new HG, shim and oil rail. Make sure you get all bits fitted together mind. New headgasket LVB500190 approx €44 + VAT (~£29+VAT) New oil ladder LCN000140L approx €52 + VAT (~£34+VAT) do as ming says always change the thermostat...

LR guy whats the latest hgf you have seen (ie 2005,2006 reg)also do you find the post 2002 modals don`t seem to take the engine with them when the head gasket go`s ?,as i`ve not heard many people say they have ,as your on the front line i bet you see plenty thats only why i ask:)

chirst almighty never mind tyres veering,i`m veering out of here before its disgusting

remember its 4 wheel drive so you my not be able to spin a wheel and even if the brakes arnt binding the vcu wont allow you to,if you`ve just purchased it ask the garage but they must know about landrovers or the freelander and its drive train,pre 2002 are the bastard years,post 2002 things got...

brakes not binding?if no then you need to test the vcu if your are getting feathered rear tyres ,what year is it ?dos it feel like the handbrake is on ,try reversing on full lock dos it feel differcult,these are all the signs of vcu problems,if it is it will cost ya :mad:

£90 IMHO is a rip-off. welcome to land rover world were things that cost pence with other makes get noughts added to the end just because its got a green oval logo,i totally agree tjambarker,all i want is some replacement 3 dr sunroof catches but i aye paying them prices what the dealer is...

i aye done nothing yet,only had 48,000mile service a short will ago and i`m on 50,000 now,hippos running like a dream at the moment,so i was sort of thinking about treating her to a prezzie like slick 50 or something as a reward for not letting me down for a long time:D

nor me no link !,but have an idea what your on about,i`ve been thinking about oil additives,fuel additives and even them magnetic things that go round the fuel line,anyone have any good results from any items from this ilk .

take a look at this site or even ask the dealer as they will be wanting to shift them with the new freelander 2 soon to be http://www.powerfuluk.com/Freelander_Side_Step_&_Bar.htm

freelander originals are the dogs dangles as they taper in were you get in and out the car,you can still get a bit on your trousers though,s/steel sides with black tops with rubbers in them awesome :D best accessorie the for the hippo in my book

the key as a rolling code (keeps changing)transponder in it, remote key and others cannot do it so its dealer only i`m afraid

sounds about right,i`ve not been able to find my spare since moveing house,it`s one of the jobs i need to sort when i win the lottery this saturday:D

hope the calulater helps make you know for sure what you are getting,remember also that the 1.8 petrol freelander as about 120 bhp which is good for almost most cars but in a 4x4 that power as to go through the gear box,ird(transfer),diff before it gets anywere near the wheels so power is lost...

i get about 25/26 miles to the gallon around town and 34/35 on a run ,try this site and calculate it http://www.torquecars.co.uk/Tuning/uk-mpg-calculator.php it seems a bit high and i`m normally loaded up with copper and fittings and things,by the way avoid a/c as this makes things nearer the 20...

Try this link it my help a little http://www.mgfcar.de/hgf/ ,explains and gives prices,dont reuse head bolts they are a one use item only and always replace the thermostat,while your at it check for hair cracks under coolent bottle cap and if not fitted get the later one on there with the...

ok we all know about the sealent in the old gasket that breaks down when it over heats so ford have replaced that with a steel gasket (multi layer)without any sealent around it,fine ,but the engineers found other faults as well,most of all was never skim a rover head this can make matters a lot...

what year is yours ? if its post 2002 then it as the mods remote thermostat(white can just behind rad ),later header tank (ratchet cap) that you cannot over tighten,steel head dowels in stead of plastic ,now the bad news is all of this makes not a jot of differance as i have all of these items...
