now its stopped raining I have had a chance to have a good look,Landy has got new belts, I think I have found the water problem as you look down on the belts you can see the stat housing and a pipe about inch diameter held on the housing with the "clamp tipe jubilee clips not the screw ones...

We thought so, probably either do not want this sort of work and if they get the job there quids in.The first garage who did the belts and imagined a water leak. Its seems impossible to find a good local garage. I will go back to using mygarage in Hermitage They are popular is the only problem...

does the quote of £867.43 seem realistic for pump and stat housing replacement?? seems a bit much you can probably get a clutch done for that They quoted £470.63 just to do stat housing is that not next to pump? as I said earlier checked again this morning and the coolant level seems to be the...

morning Nodge and thanks once again, I contacted Newbury 4x4 yesterday there mechanics said pumps do not often leak but the housing for pump and stat is plastic and that is what normally leaks There prices are to replace stat housing £470.63 then to do pump as well wait for it £867.43 double the...

exactly our thoughts on the matter, will have to check if they actually changed the belts, can they be viewed from above or should I take off the side of the engine bay cover?

Funny you should bring this up, I topped up the resevoir bottle to the full mark-usually have it half way between full and low mark Sunday checked this morning before going out still in the same place checked it 5ish miles later at tesco it has not moved,Now I use to run a garage many moons...

aparently garage says there is a leak its very slight going by water loss which is hardly anything as I have not topped up for quite a while

apparently when they did me Aux belts they said there was a leak its not alot hardly notice it but as they were fair with pricing the belts I thought I should get it done along with the thermostat I read somewhere best to do both.

could someone give me a time for a water pump and thermostat change so far i have anywhere from 2 hours to 4 hours I need an idea so I know if the garage is giving a realistic quote many thanks in advance

morning everyone, Had me belts done, went to open the bonnet to repair bonnet catch the garage had firmly closed bonnet in getting it open I detached the "spring" It looks like it touched the radiator (there is a line of fresh copper grease on it) anyone who has had this problem Is it likely I...

Finally found a small proper Garage locally to me charged an hours labour plus cost of both belts

Thankyou

Thanks for that just as I thought, must get prop put back

I thought that (Formulae 1 auto centres) BUT at the moment the only other option is Halfords or LR main dealership

Front wheel drive for the moment no prop fitted with the Traction control will it keep me from get stuck on the verges as these have to be used when another car passes on some of our roads??

Going to let what passes for a garage do it as weather is really bad for at least another 2 weeks I have not got a garage You will never guess how much they are going to stiff me for :eek: :eek: £163.97 of your English pounds Can I assume Air conditioning is on the car as standard?

Thankyou, living in the country we have a lot of muddy verges this time of year the vitara I had was rear wheel drive and managed ok without resorting to 4wd with the traction control will the freelander manage as well without its prop?

Good afternoon everyone, I will have to have my belt/belts changed at a "garage" My usual place is booked till the end of the year and i have no idea how long they/it has been on there mine is a 2005 Not sure if it has air con has the switch on the dash and a pair of pipes going into the car...

Oh ye of little faith;)
