I hope so as the car is very clean and passed MOT without even an advisory. Luckily a friend has sourced a supposed good ready skimmed head for very little. If it turns out good it will be fixed next week. :)

Well it gets worse head is cracked :(

Tried an inlet gasket to no avail. Had head off tonight and gasket was knackered. New gasket here so i'll get head off to test and skim tomorrow and hopefully back for weekend. Car had metal dowels so take it its not first time!!!

Well I was warned but didn't listen. My landy started to misfire ever so slightly for about 15miles then the temp guage took off to top. I stopped it right away and need to add 1litre of water. I then got it home(10 miles) just before gauge started to rise again. Is this looking like an inlet...

thanks for 2 out of 3 comments :)

what kind of range do you guys get out a tank full. Mine did about 280-300, is this good or bad? I was hoping for more or should I be looking for a problem? 1.8 2001

Got one from Dingbro yesterday for £42 and a bracket from Land Rover for £10. Its easier to get into gears but still low biting. Looks like clutch soon :(

Guys, My clutch biting point is very low and when hot struggles even more. I need to replace master/slave units soon but having probs sourcing. CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER this looks like both parts in one but I tried rimmerbros and it looks like master and slave are sold seperate. Can anyone give...

cheers guys, i'll maybe hold off with diff just now. I'm going to replace prop bearings and VSC first and see if road noise calms a bit before doing anything with diff. I'll have spares soon anyway so car won't need to be off road for long if it needs rebuilt.

anyone?

I'm going to replace my prop bearings and have read loads of bad posts on Britpart bearings. Should I use Genuine Landy ones or is there a good aftermarket type. I also will have a spare diff I was going to try and rebearing it myself and swap. Is there a kit other than the britpart one I could...

Yeah, i'm expecting some costs LOL but hey its all part of the experience!!! I think I may have a VSC away as its a bit tight feeling when trying to park into spaces and has a cluck when turning over bumpy ground (suspect diff bearings or ball joints). I think spare car could come in handy so...

thanks Tim, Here she is this site has loads of good info but some major freelander haters lol :p

Hi guys, I've just purchased a hunter green 2001 plate 1.8ES and have a couple of questions. I know it has the K for Kettle engine but it was a good price, well spec'd and clean. Anyway 1. The clutch has a low biting point. Some one mentioned at a local garage about an upgrade bit that might...
