Noticed i seem to have an end plate missing on the head, assume the spinning part is the end of one of the camshafts. HG replaced recently but i can't remember if it was on before then. anyone know where i can get one from? cheers.

Losing coolant again unfortunately, no leaks spotted but this does look iffy? i guess if it gets really warm driving it could be boiling off? not head gasket as i tested it again!

the paid version didn't work for me, wouldn't connect to the ECU so i went back to dashcommand. that seems to work once it connects. good thing is there were no fault codes. idle once warm was showing at around 750 but still a bit lumpy and low for me, felt like it would stall a few times. water...

BT ELM module turned up today so i had a quick play on the drive (oooer!) , using an app called Dashcommand but it only allows free for 30 minutes before you have to pay, and i don't pay. any free apps recommended? there are a couple called Torque or thereabouts. anyway the dashcommand reads the...

Found one on Amazon, ordered! Hopefully it'll read the water temp too

You'd think wouldn't you, but it just doesn't work, the only thing it displays is the voltage of the battery, but at least i know the alternator is good and pumping out 14.4V!! i'll have a look at one of those dongles. sounds like a plan!

looks like the guage is incompatible with my OBD2 protocol, you'd assume these would be standard but no it seems not!!! bugger!

ah i get you now, mines not very posh but it'll do lol

yep, chinese, posh and fangled, not sure it'll comply with the old english half arsed nature of a freelander :-)

mines a 2005 1.8 petrol. i got the gadget of my son and plugged it into the port in the passenger side footwell but while it powers up it just says "searching protocols" and its meant to be OBD2 compliant. but it may be a fault with the device so i'll have a look at the instruction manual. i am...

good call,. yeah mine seems to go from a third to a half in traffic then back to a 3rd again when moving. i think my son has an OBD plugin that can monitor temperature etc. i might try that first.cheers

i read on another post about the IACV might need a clean, can anyone tell me where it is located, i can't find any pictures in the previous posts. cheers.

my gauge typically reads about a 1/3rd on a run, only goes up to the middle in traffic. was just worried i was cooking the engine. HG has been replaced recently but coolant had dropped slightly so i topped it up and ran a HG leak test again and all good. i'll check plugs and leads next. i've...

only one sensor, its screwed into an aluminium hose elbow coming from the head. i would just expect them to come one when it gets really hot as in traffic the guage goes right up to the middle and the engine seems a lot more lumpy and the idle wavers about. when its cold the engine idles...

Morning, well i know the fans work as i disconnected the temp sensor and they came on full blast!!! they just don't seem to work in traffic

no worries, i'll have a poke around and trace the cables back from the fan controller

cool. i'll check it out tomorrow, cheers dude

be great if someone could identify the one to be disconnected and i can try that tomorrow. cheers

Tried the aitcon, made no difference, fans are definitely not turning, even slowly

its a 1.8 k series. got 2 fans, but i'll try the aircon switch and see if that makes a difference. it just seems to get hot if stuck in traffic and then runs lumpy
