I have 3 options of head gasket to buy here: OSAKA KANSAI Britpart Victor Reinz How is the best?

50% OAT 50% water. I'm going to buy the original head gasket now. The original LR is Victor Reinz?

I think the problem was the poor quality of the Britpart head gasket. I removed the gasket from the other head which is original and was in perfect condition.

Hello all. In December of 2015 I changed the front head gasket because the head had a small crack in the part of the cylinder 5. I sent for maintenance and soldered it and solved it with a new head gasket. After changed I runned about 10,000 km with car, but began to present the problem of...

My engine is showing problems in the head gasket again, because morning in cold start gives "hydraulic lock". I have also seen bubbles in the return of the expansion tank pipe. I didn´t check the spark plugs yet, but I believe that the cylinder 5 is the failure again. The problem may be the...

or oil radiador with small hole inside. Check this topic: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-v6-overheating.289813/page-8#post-3652862 My V6 already have the HG failure in cylinder 5 and I changed it. The temperature of the engine after changing was between 92 ~ 102°C, but with...

Possibly the thermostatic valve must have cracked.. Remove the engine cover and look in the middle, between the admission entries. If broken, the water comes out of the middle of the block and runs to the corners.

I used Britpart head gasket. Changed only the front head. The back head is very dificult to remove exaust bolts because the IRD is in the front. The ECU FAN turns on when the temp sensor inside the E-Box reaches 35ºC. If the ECU module overheats, it lights up the MIL with error code of...

Solenoid Failure in autobox causes the "4" flashing in LCD after a few seconds. Check the barrel connectors if they are connected correctly. Hippo video helps:

The automatic transmission, when 4 flashing in LCD indicates that is in emergency mode (4th gear fixed). Maybe the problem is the CAN-BUS communication between ECU and Jatco Module inside the E-Box. Check the yellow twisted pair wire. If it is broken, there is no communication between the...

In the fuel rail has a pressure measuring point (like bike tyre valve). Connect a manometer the pressure must be 3.4 bar. If below that, the filter may be improperly fitted (O´ring failure) and leaking before the pressure regulator...

Fuel pump failure does not generate error code because it is dry contact relay. The KV6 engine has no pressure meter in the fuel line. What may generate error code if fuel pressure is low is low level of CO2 in the lambda sensor.

First check level from ATF oil using the level plug with the car running with autobox temp at 35~45ºC. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/jatco-automatic-gearbox.69336/page-2 https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/jatco-band-bolt.280304/ I was having problems in the upshift from the 3rd to...

The temp gauge stays in middle with the temp is in range 75ºC ~ 115ºC. At 120ºC the red light go on. The MY04 (2004 year) have 2 temperature sensors, one in the block and another in bottom hose. When make some service in coolant system, is good has an OBD scanner connected to read the...

Hello all, On last week I reinstalled the cylinder head with new gasket and run 700km with no problems. :) The coolant did not lower more and the temperature is around 99°C. The temp rises in climbs to 102°C and will go down to 99°C after a few seconds. Downhill drops to 96°C. Also fixes...

Yes, crack was gone. :) Before: After: I measured the block surface and head with a ruler, and theya are straight, not warped.

Cleaned the block with sandpaper 400 and 600 and decarb.

Today the cylinder head returned from skimming. Good job. Waiting the gasket and reinstall all parts. As the head was washed, I´ll will drop engine oil before closing the cover to the tappet and camshaft not working dry on start.

Check brake switch. This switch have 2 contacts, one from brake light and another to ECU

Now looking more closely, I have identified a fissure in cylinder head 5. As the problem was identified now, I decided that I will not disassemble the other head, because the job is too big.
