Sorry to hear digi. I feel exactly the same way about my KV6, love it way more than the 4 cylinder. When you fitted the 2 inlet manifold gaskets and fitted the greenish paper type gasket to each, please tell me that you torqued each bolt to spec and that you absolutely applied RTV sealant to...

Hi Saul, how did you go? I have a 1.8 Freelander like yours, mines Feb 2000 so it's the distributor engines from 1998-2000, not the latter glow plug ones. I had this problem like you describe now occurring and despite me bleeding the system, it would still continue to re-occur. The problem with...

Hi there, just wondering what was the fix to the hard starting issue on your v6 Freelander you experienced a few years ago? Was it fuel pump? Was it one of the sensors if so which one? Cheers, Cage.

Hi there, just out of interest, for your V6 Freelander, did you solve the hard starting issue? If so, how did you solve it? Fuel pump renewal? Crank sensor? Cam sensor or engine temperature sensor? I have the same problem but only exclusive when cold weather. Cheers, Cage.

Hey wollee, try a wreckers yard, bound to find freelanders there.. wont charge much these parts... the self service ones are even cheaper as you remove the parts yourself..

Cheers for that.. Mines exactly the same clearance as yours from the look on that photo. Mine's also a new hose I fitted. I thought if I cut the hose about 2 or 3cm short at the end where it connects to the oil cooler, it'll move the hose away from the drive shaft gaiter by the same...

Hi Hippo, that is exactly the one. It's precariously close to the drive shaft despite it's bend designed to keep it from touching. Is there any special bracket that I'm missing? Cheers, Cage.

Hi all, the coolant hose that runs from the engine oil cooler to the metal pipe at rear of engine, I notice this hose has the required bend by design, but is pretty close to the driveshaft. Am I missed a bracket or something that secures or applies tension to this hose so as to keep it...

The IRD bracket was known on some to have cracked and allowing the vibration. But the Land rover TSB states you should get a vibration at 4000 RPM whereas yours is at 2K. Get underneath it and investigate, see what's lose or moves about freely or with no resistance. See if the gearbox and engine...

The black rubbery thing you found may have been part of the seal for the wet liner. I have a 1.8 (2000) Freelander and a KV6 2001. My 1.8 doesn't have an engine oil cooler through which engine oil is cooled by coolant but quite sure that your 2005 does. Based on the symptoms you described, check...

Hi lespingu, the IRD boxes are the same types for all the Freelanders except for the KV6 and North American Standard NAS. This is the part number: TAG000230.The ones from any 2000 model should fit your 1998 one, provided that the IRD didn't come from one of the very first KV6 Freelanders which...

Hi Bippo, i dont have a diesel but both of the petrols one 1.8 and a kv6. You didnt write anything about coolant, are you losing any at all, is the level even dropping very very slightly? Did you recently do any work to it which involved the inlet manifold being removed? I guess i'm speaking...

Hi Miojala, good to know it's fixed, i guess one advantage with this gearbox is that you can access the solenoids without the box having to come out.

As above, can you confirm your crank and cam sensor are Ok? The situation you describe, i.e- cuts out immediately after starting, would be the case if you had either of these sensor/s fail. I was going to ask if you have a bad spark plug but you say you did a compression test and all showed up...

Hi Krc, I would expect you to not have been able to fire it up at all if the immobiliser had kicked in. There is an inertia switch in the engine bay attached to the firewall as on my 2000 1.8, think yours would be same, but again, this wouldn't be the issue, very unlikely, if you can already...

I see the importance of that as Land Rover went so far as to put that step in RAVE as part of the "remove camshaft gasket" step for the KV6. Thought my oil gauze/s would have arrived in Monday's mail, still haven't got them today... :(

Hi Grafos, can you confirm if it's either engine oil on the exhaust or is it manual gearbox fluid? The manual gearbox fluid will have a specific smell to it distinct from engine oil. Just smell some off the oil dipstick, then open the gearbox filler plug and smell some gearbox oil, you will...

Hi Miojala, I know one person fixed this issue with replacing solenoids. Replacing solenoids isn't a gearbox out task, they are located where the fluid pan is. I know you said you changed the transmission fluid, when you did so, did you do it according to land rover procedure? (i.e - that the...

Something else I'm going to try prior to that is to renew those oil separator gauzes from the cam shafts, just awaiting their arrival in the mail within days. Will renew and see what results are like. I may as well take the opportunity to do that since I already have the inlet manifold chamber...

Good to hear Grafos. There's also a stronger gear linkage bracket that can be fitted underneath the vehicle i show it briefly in one of my videos, improves gear shifting. But, after that and the hydraulic clutch system, you still have hard shifting, it would be time to remove the gearbox and...
