I would post this on this forum. This guy has done quite a few 1.8 head gasket jobs. His posts are very insightful. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=146867

I am glad you are still to be around for KV6 relates posts!

I would also do a leak down test and a combustion gas test before taking anything apart. Since you are in the USA the testing equipment is dirt cheap at rockauto amazon or harborfreight. That many misfire is strange. Were you very careful with the knock sensor wire when you replaced the...

What makes you think it is not a prt thermostat ?

The clamps prevent lateral movement of the straight pipe between the water pump and the thermostat. I used a combination of zip ties and a metal hose clamp. All from Home Depot for dirt heap. Only do one side outside the car, I had to undo and redo the 2nd set of clip in the car.

Pm me your email for a PDF version of rave that you can read. I changed the inlet (intake for us) manifold gasket without any additional sealant. I went with copper anti seize on the manifold bolts. The bolts are stainless and the engine block and threads are in aluminium thus dissimilar metals ..

I got a new aftermarket tank (in Canada parts from the uk are just so expensive. Might not be so bad in the USA). I also found the expension tank cap from a Ford Crown Victoria 2001 fits the 2nd generation of the expension tank on the Freelander. Both Gates and Stant make a cap. I had your exact...

I came across this: From www.landroverclub.com.ar • Ver Tema - SILICONA PARA REPARACION DEL VISCOSO DE LA FREELANDER Two reports of what they did 1. 65% of 12500 cst silicone oil (120 milliliters)to 35% of 1000 cst oil (60 milliliters (ml) 2. 80% of 12500 cst silicone oil to 20%...

What is on the back of that bottle? Did you buy the selonoids already?

Did you clean the barrel connectors after all? The different readings look like some sort of electrical issue.

Thanks for taking the time to write down in details. It will help others for sure. Are you buying a new abs ecu or an old one ? I wonder if other cars use the same abs ecu. If you want me to try to find other cars with the same abs ECU, can you write which one you have ?

I found this picture in my talkapp cache. I hope it helps.

I am replying to you PM here niccage. Look at the IRD part list I attached here (All I have is this, I have no legend) Removing the rear propshaft does not remove any drive to the front wheel, look at how the IRD works by looking at that diagram

Wow thanks so much for taking the time for this and the video!!

I wonder what the difference in the two polls will be...

If you mean the T3000+ from what I read on the rover site, on a Freelander K series it could read trouble codes (including pre odb2 1.8 petrol), and with a special cable, program fobs on all 4 engine models of Freelander 1. T300 Diagnostic - Advice Wanted - MG-Rover.org Forums Pre 2000...

Unfortunately the needle stays at normal for any temperature range from 95c to 115c (sorry not good in degrees F, Canada is mostly metric) Thus I would monitor the temperature via the scan tool. That needle is almost useless in my opinion. I would pressure test the expansion tank cap, to...

238F is 114C. 204F is 94C That is a bit on the high side 114C/238F. How do you describe the noises? Can you record a video/audio sound to hear? Did you do a combustion gas leak test ? a tiny tiny hole in the head gasket might leak gases into the cooling system and make noises? When...

You probably saw this already, but if I were in your shoes, I would wish someone would point me to this thread: K-engine project - A possible low cost rebuild? - The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums Loads of info on the 1.8 there
