    lift kits

    There is a "voluntary" one way ...down only....system been in place for about 18 months, but to date I have only seen vehicles going up the edge. (which I personally think is safer and if driven sensibly causes less damage than going down) Before anyone gets on high horse vid was shot prior to...

    dare i ask????

    12v impact guns ****e...not found one that can remove anything tighter than a wheel nut.. As youve done with breaker bar but put a jack under bar and lift it....if motor starts to lift and nut still not moving give it a couple of "gentle" blows with big hammer.....worked for me

    Front Suspension Noise?

    Check to see if youve left some marbles in there....:rolleyes: No idea what could cause the "marbles" sound but before doing anything get it on a lane and allow suspension to travel to maximum a couple of times...seems to cure many strange noises.

    landy overheating

    Not sure on 1.8 but on V6 the inlet manifold gasket is prone to letting water across into cylinders....depending on severity can be seen as drips of water coming out of exhaust (somtimes along length) ..... steam from exhaust or just a damp feeling with exhaust gasses

    Freelander 2.0di No Power???

    Sounds like you could have cooked the engine which in turn could have damaged anything even cracked the block.... good luck with it but will probably be expensive You did allow engine to cool before adding more water didnt you:confused:
