Hi all. How much does a 1.8 k series engine cost to buy and fit? I have a 2005 facelift freelander 1.8 petrol. Was leaking coolant until eventually power loss on motorway with smoke coming from exhaust. AA recover guy said suspected head gasket. Towed it to a garage near home expecting to pay a...

Sorry buddy I'm from doncaster.

Sorry to anyone I'm annoying. Don't mean too. Honestly didn't search for the first question regards the light guards as that was a personal question to anyone who knows first hand the difference and quality of the clip on front light guards. The second question I asked about the interior...

Answers to what? How can I search for an answer to a question asking for people's opinion on light guards?

Sorry to bring up my old topic. But just a tiny bit more advice please anyone. Just ordered light guards. Proper ones for the rear but opted for the "clip on" ones for the front. Purely because of the price difference, £75-90 for the screw in ones compared to £30 for clip ons and the advert...

Thankyou for the info on the white/plasma dials. Will be ordering that tomorrow :) Does anyone know if those clip on front light guards any good? As I won't be off roading but won't buy em if there utter babba. If not I'll get the proper ones, just only seen the bolt on ones for £100. Bit steep

I won't even try to pretend I know anything about freelanders or cars in general if I'm honest. Takes everything I have to remember it's petrol not diesel lol only thing I am capable of is painting interior bits as I once did it to a ford focus. That's why I'm asking all these questions...

Phoning a garage is on my to do list. No harm in asking people who have experience with land rovers. Isn't that one of the main reasons for owners clubs and forums? For people who have the same cars to chat and ask about them? If everyone had same attitude of "why post when you could ring or...

Hi all. List of questions if anyone knowledgeable fancies helping out. 1. Anyone know a good 4x4/land rover specialist around South Yorkshire. 2. Is there such a thing as the above being paid £50-£100 just to look around your freelander and tell you if anything needs fixing or looking...

Got my car back as of yesterday. Phone conversation was quite brief, to the point I can't remember exactly what the problem found was and when I picked the car up the person in question wasn't around. All I know is it was something to do with a "shaft" of some sort that was seized (he asked me...

Just a quick update. Called them this morning and they told me to bring it in and they'll look at it. Took it back to them at noon. Mentioned the problem in question which there gonna look at over the weekend. Also mentioned the little problems like the sunroof not closing using the button and...

Trying to ring my local cab all day but no one picks up. Will try again 2moro. Does anyone know the facts about fit for purpose or consumer rights. Basically car was on auto trader and on description there was zero mention (obviously) about these problems. He also stated face to face it runs...

Assuming all my rights have been waived though being sold as seen and no warranty per his words "we don't offer warranty on cars this age"

Richard your a charming one rnt ya lol I don't need 4x4 but bought it for the same reasons I assume people buy bmw's/mercs/audis. Don't need that luxury or expense but they like the look and get em even though a good old 53 plate astra or something would do the same job of getting them from a...

Now you mention different wheels. First thing I noticed was 3 of the tyres say max psi 36 and one of the back ones says max 44. Dunno if that has anything to do with anything? Couldn't be causing that hellish grinding/crunching noise when turning surely? Worst case scenario what are we talking...

Auto trader :/ not even trying to pretend I know anything about 4x4's lol Gone from a mg zr to a vectra to a freelander purely cos I liked look of em. Only chose this one cos it had current mot and guy gave it all the spiel about how well it's been looked and how nice it looked. No rust or...

Hi all. Complete brand new 4x4 owner of any type. Bought a 99 freelander 1.8 xei s wagon. No clue bout this car except it was black and looked nice.... :/ Checking search engines I think I'm done for. Out of a list of problems I think the main scary one is, when I turn corners a loud...
