Thanks Nodge68. I bought the Freelander with a blown engine, so I have no experience as to what normal might be on a Freelander. Still..... I am wondering about the thermostat design. As I understand the system, the thermostat is fed normally by the circulating coolant through all the...

I decided to run it as it was and things were seeming OK until one of the heater core coolant hoses sprung a leak. I repaired the leak, etc and decided to drive it myself with my Mac Mentor scan tool hooked up. I monitored the temperature on my 30 mile commute and can confirm the running...

Spent yesterday trying to sort out the problem, and thanks for the guidance. Yes, as mentioned, the noise is coolant boiling. I made a basic assumption that the new coolant recovery tank with a new cap would have pressurized the system to the required 16lbs...it did not. I do not know what...

I agree the temperature seems high, but the temperature gauge holds rock steady at normal. I am getting the readings from engine coolant temperature, which I assume is the on the top of the block under the intake manifolds. The noises are clunking, like boiling water starting to boil in a...

Thanks for all the welcome messages. I will work on getting some pictures. oldyankee

Hi Mike, Is done as you suggest, and thanks for taking time to respond. Regards, Denis

Just joined the forum today and Mike suggested I introduce myself. I have been working on British cars since the mid 60's and owned many along the way. My first driver was a 1962 Sprite. My favorite is my 1962 109 Station Wagon, which contains only the minimum number of bolts to hold it...

Many posts about overheating on the forum, but my question has to do with engine noises after shut down. I am trying to find out if these noises are normal for a Freelander V-6...I do not think it should be making clunking noise or percolating in the expansion tank via the bleed hose. It does...
