    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    Hey! I did take a look at what they were offering as my brother actually works there as a manager, but they got rid of 'em recently only Landy's they have at the moment are: Along with parts looking like this: Appreciate the thought though!

    Freelander 1 PSCAN

    No problems, Would still be good to see how it actually works, if you have the time on hand!

    Freelander 1 PSCAN

    That would be brilliant! already emailed them saying it is not fit for purpose, but would be good to see how it actually works especially if you have any pre-2001 Freelander's as I believe that is the same MEMS1.9 ECU that I've got in mine...?

    Freelander 1 PSCAN

    Speaking on this, I bought an Icarsoft V2 which I was told at the time would read the OBD on the Freelander 1 I have, but it did not and actually performs really poorly in my opinion, can't really do anything not even with my 2013 Nissan Is the PScan any good? What can it do? I think from what...

    Hello Again! (SOLVED, Engine replacement)

    The Pear shaping is entirely my fault, will take this a learning opportunity. But this is for sure a Project, we just had her name plastered on the back of the door! So even the missus still wants it!!! It will be a minute and even though the car is not financially a good Idea I would like to...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    I have tried to turn the engine over and it turned with all cylinders having good compression. But after some time turning it over again revealed a very tight spot which I could not turn through, I won't be at the car again for a while, but when cranking it, it still sounds okay it has oil...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    Had look around and for the dizzy model of 1.8 K Series I cannot find any inkling on the location of the cam sensor, should I check the crank sensor too?

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    So it took a while but I got the head off and the gasket changed, it all seemed okay, got everything back together, however the car now still cranks/turns-over but does not start it is just refusing to start. I think something is missing... I thought that because I had a slight misfire while...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    I spoke with Dmgrs and they have helped quite a lot, explained that I should use engine oil on the threads however most now come with pre oiled and if oiling them myself then only use a small amount on the end of the threads, after after hearing the failure recommended an Elasto-polymer gasket...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    Another thought, is that the engine never overheated, it seems like the gasket just failed spontaneously it was on a cold start the engine was idling okay I let it warm for about a minute then moved off and it died, I don't have a precision bar to test for warp and don't have the time to wait...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    Thank you @J_D I read through their entire 1.8 K Series guide and a thing I saw was that LR recommend that the threads of the head bolts be lightly coated in oil, I assume as it is not mentioned that they mean just use 15W40 oil nothing special? If you could let me know if anyone has done this...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    Took Today to get the head of the block to see what form of gasket I would need and I guess before I go buying a head gasket kit, what yall's opinions be and or thoughts? First of all, I didn't take apart the camshafts, I simply lined them up then took the head off, is it worth disassembling...

    Head Gasket / Cylinder Gone??

    So, Today went very badly. I finally got the exhaust fixed and replacement prop however upon finally starting the car after my last encounter where it suddenly stopped then smoked from the intake, it would crank nice and easy, however it would not start up, it sounded like it was losing...

    IRD Fail???

    @Alibro Trying to source money for the new exhaust at the moment as my daily driver Nissan has just up and went too :mad: However, that is to be fixed soon-ish may even be a couple months before I do any work on this silly car, however the good news is that the coolant is still topped up, the...

    Freelander Track Car?!?!

    I have been thinking for a while about this now and anytime I am under my Freelander I can see it. (This applies to the 1.8 Petrol I am not sure about the TD4 engine layout) First of all you may think track car? no chance on earth. But I think it is plausible yes with an unprecedented amount...
