    Freelander 1 Hydraulic lifters

    Well I did buy brand new lifters however one or two are noisy... Kind of a mess is there a way to tell which one or should I buy 4 and replace the area I hear with Stethoscope? It's on topic.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    My washer motors also packed up, both. Time for an el cheapo replacement, will renew the bolts and clips so if it packs up again will be a few min job.

    Freelander 1.8 K series hgf - more data

    Late here, but head gasket never pops. I will give signs... so I would address that ONLY if you have a hint that's one foot in the grave. Same with my case, did not want to touch it until I saw some oil in coolant.

    Freelander 1 1.8K Head Gasket Replacement

    I've done it today as well. However, got a brand new cylinder head for 180 quid (offer accepted) Would cost me around 130 to pressure test, skim, valve reaseat and what not so why not throw in a new one. In my case again liners were flush with the head. So BW750 was used since I've managed to...

    Freelander 1 Best way to flush coolant on K series 1.8 FL1

    In my case pretty much all piston sleeves were flush not sitting proud really. I will have to gamble as I am not getting another block, no time. It has been done today so after a good run (so tappets will fill up) I will do a compression test.

    If yours is gen3 software cannot pe upgraded. Gen4 easily, providing you get the calibration files which you may not be able with sdd offline.

    Freelander 1 Best way to flush coolant on K series 1.8 FL1

    I've done it, 50/50 bleach/water. Two flushes, all clear now. The reason for oil in coolant was fitting an el cheapo MLS gasket on flush/uneven liners. I even suspect the bolts were not torqued down properly.

    You can connect to jlr server, it won't lock the software or interface. With the right patch that is, which only connects to jlr to download calibration files and as_built nothing else is done online. I am not sure how old versions are behaving, but after 159 if you don't update it in a...

    Everything JLR SDD related (feel free to add experiences/help).

    You don't need the old ECU to program the new one. It will ask you if old module is present, just say no and it will write the file with options from CCF and/or AS_BUILT data and perhaps prompt you on some info. However you do need to download as-built data for that vin at least (there is an...
