Trying to think how its getting into the turbo, its fed with oil and it drains off in another pipe, dont think the breather goes right to the turbo, manafold probably so send it somewhere else. oil consumption must be serious then, but take the pipes off and trace the oil back, turbo could be...

If you get a bar or long chisle onto it, a sharp chap should get it off, it always worked for me. Probably find the bastid just spins on the belt anyway, if we bought a tool for every job the workshop would be full of tools and no motors, sometimes you have to improvise. Its probably gona be...

If you have had it for ten years and aint changed anything recently, something must be siezed, as mad says spin all the pulleys, and check the crank pulley is not loose.

Sounds like you need to be playing with the radio controls.

Brave man taking a freelander into water, best just to drive it into a lake without the snorkle:D:D

Hello rosco, there is a search facility and plenty on this problem.

Its going into a cylinder if it aint leaking onto the ground. You wont know until you get the head off, could just be a gasket, could be the head needs skimmed, could be the head has a crack, and it could be the block is cracked, although cracked blocks are uncommon and its probably just a...

Not a good idea to take pistons out, they are a pure bastid to get back in, normally I split the caliper to do that and fit a new seal kit at the same time. A couple of levers in em and pump em out a bit to see if they are moving ok. If they are sticky, pump and lever them back and forth until...

Thats the way I did it anorl, with a little tap around the edges to get it sitting fine. In the days when inertia starters were used it was common practice, not so common now tho with the pre-engaged.

Cant take a ring gear off tho without cutting it, perhaps I read this wrong and that you want to use the old ring gear but move it around a bit, it cant be done I'm afraid.

Now you would know the best way to get it stolen and burnt without getting nicked eh.;)

Ok then welcome. And now, it aint just the engine the whole motor is gash, unfortunatly. Dont waste yur money on it trade it as soon as possible.

I'll go for that aswel, I polished mine up with wet and dry then filled with a mix of gear oil and grease, been fine.

I agree with charlie, if the cam snapped it would still be there but probably not turning depending on where it broke. If a cam follower broke up the pushrod would drop onto the cam as you say, however a cam that worn would have been obvious some time ago, noise, missfire and loss of power.

Aint the 1.8 the petrol engine that blows up all the time, that makes your freelander even more ****e than the less ****e ones. Feel like I am back as school wif yur red writing, not that I went there much but I remember the red writing and the phrase yur suspended anorl.

Mines is a 97 disco and it has one just a nut head sunk into the back plate, dont adjust them too much tho or it could pick up on reversing.

Only problem with that method is that if you dont get it seated right first time you're fooked coz even with a blow torch it aint gona heat back up again and its a new ring gear. Fitted loads of them and even with the torch method you have to be quick coz the flywheel takes all the heat and you...

If you had fooked orf and bought a decent melter then you would have got em orf, so go and get one now, its a fokin landie you have not a bar of toffee. Oh and dunt let it happen again, also remember when trying to get somut off thats tight you need to use the proper language. Come off yah...

If its a new starter and you are sure of that then its the ring gear on the flywheel, all you have to do to test this is turn the engine a bit by hand and then try to start it. An engine always stops at the same bit so its one of these bits thats fooked and turning the engine takes it to a good...

Looks like its been laying up for a while, a good wash and it would look half as bad. If the engine aint been run for ages its a good idea to get oil down the bores furst, tho if its a derv then its kinda hard so just spin the fokir until the oil pressure comes up before you let it fire. A...
