Here are images of the coolant level sensor incorporated into the 2005 1.8i K series !!!

Hello..... 2005 1.8i Petrol Engine. Have been reviewing the Low Coolant posts on the Freelander Landyzone and the Haynes Manual & the original Owners Handbook and cannot find the answers, so hoping some bright spark can clear up my confusion. Firstly, I have the coolant level sensor fitted in...

Hi all, replaced head gasket as the start of small amount of mayonnaise in the engine. Obviously have drained the engine oil out, have yet to remove the old oil filter (which was only a few weeks old). So now is the time to start the refilling of the fluids. Should I buy some flushing oil (5...

This was the response from DMGRS "The waterpump you've had previously has an 'evaporation chamber' fitted - this hides small leaks by evaporating small amounts of stray coolant. As you can imagine, on a K Series engine this is a very bad idea - it's important to be made aware of any coolant...

Hi, Took pictures of everything, before removing the head, but 'forgot' or didn't take one of the camshaft positions, when the camshaft sprockets are properly aligned. Does anyone have a picture of the camshaft position i.e. the position off the actual cams, when the sprockets are properly...

Hi again, Need help again !! Right, so have replaced the head gasket and now going to fit the new water pump (from DMGRS as a kit with the Timing Belt & tensioner) but whilst the same overall shape, the new one is missing some of the metal support i.e. where the 'Pillar Bolt' fits. see attached...

Thanks. Do you do each bolt straight to 20nm and then 4 x 90 or progressively tighten them individually say to 12nm in sequence, then 14nm, then 16nm, then 18nm to 20nm) and then finally 4 x 90?

Hi all, another (possibly inane) question. Assume I'm fitting either a Payen BW5750 or BW750 (according to Federal Mogul web site) then what are the Head Bolt tightening procedure? I know the head bolt tightening sequence, but with the Payen, is it an incremental tightening each bolt in...

Peoples, I need your expert help again. I'm carefully cleaning the cylinder head and noticed that the two dowel holes had retained oil in them, but when I cleaned/drained this out, one end (timing belt end) has a small oil hole (about 1/2 the size of the dowel hole) in the bottom, obviously for...

Thanks for that. Have measured the liners they are all in-line with each other, and are ALL flush with the block deck. Have been told an MLS HG is not suitable and that for MLS the liners need to be 3k or more above the block deck. If this is the case, then I am back to fitting a HG with a...

Well, finally got around to taking the head off the 2005 Freelander 1, with 70k on the clock (genuine). The head gasket dowels are steel and the head gasket itself is single layer with a rubberised edge - see attached pic. Is this likely to be the original fitted by Landrover, or a replacement...

Hi everyone, Any idea what the electrical connector is on the top of the g/box next to the right of the starter motor hole? There doesn't appear to be any connector to it on the wiring loom....o_O Thanks

B34R, really, really useful. Thanks. :) Being somewhat OCD (according to the other half), I'll likely take it completely apart and check/clean all I can. Also (assuming piston liners in tolerance) will go for the new N series HG kit, so will replace the oil rail to benefit from the greater...

Thanks for all this helpful info. I assume the sealant on the cam ladder is to stop oil seeping out or down into the spark plug holes?

As I won't have access to a buzz gun, wouldn't it be better to loosen the main crank pulley bolt, as the very first job, before dismantling anything else then?

Thanks Alibro / HTR, useful advice. Have a Cam locking tool, but was considering a Crank locking tool so I can undo the crank main pulley, as I assume I'll need to remove to change to cam belt, is that a correct assumption (does the pulley need a puller to remove it as well?). Reading the...

Hi, Is there a 'pictorial' of "how to" and "what to" do to remove the head from a 2005 1.8 Landy anywhere on this site? Thanks

I'll check the casting when I lift the head and see if it needs some minor grinding. How did you get rid of the filings (paraffin bath?) from the head? On a similar note, but regarding the block itself, what do you use to stop scurf, muck, gasket residue etc. from falling into the piston pots...

Thanks again for this very useful information, it helps put my mind at rest lifting off the head. Can you give an approx length of the copper tube you cut to sleeve the head bolts? Also, any suggestions for 'breaking' the head from the block?

Thanks for the comprehensive response and pictures. I'm assuming that the liners themselves are fixed (as long as one doesn't turn the crank) and won't move etc, when cleaning up around the block and the top off the liners, so the solution you provide is only required, if one were to turn the...
