    In love with my Landy

    Thanks Nodge68 for that. Confirmed my doubts and think I would be better off selling it for spares or repair. Is there a section in this website to advertise?:(

    In love with my Landy

    Hello to you all! Well, I've had quite smooth sailing for the last 5 years. Had a new head gasket put in, new sub frame and we've sailed through MOT's. However, it failed last week. It had been making strange noises below the vehicle and was told it was the prop bearings and cheapest would...

    ES 1.3 Overheating, coolant or something else?!

    Have just read through some of the other threads and have realised I often have a wet passenger-side mat and the heating controls are a bit wonky!!!! Also the fan makes a heck of a funny noise on No.1 position. Could this be involved?!

    ES 1.3 Overheating, coolant or something else?!

    Thanks for the reply. It's 12 years old now but I've had it 10 years and long time paid off. However, I've only just clocked 65k on it and I love it!!!!! To be honest, as a woman, I just need a reliable diagnosis and then make an informed decision without being ripped off :(

    ES 1.3 Overheating, coolant or something else?!

    Thanks for the replies. I'm in Yate, BS37. If it's a head gasket, surely that's the end of that engine? :(

    ES 1.3 Overheating, coolant or something else?!

    I made what should have been a 20-minute drive on the M32 into Bristol yesterday but with bumper to bumper traffic, it took 1 and a 1/2 hours! Nearly there, we were shocked to see steam coming through the bonnet and the temperature indicator had gone up! All heaters had been blowing all the...

    Tyres Direct

    I've just gone through a trawl for 4 new tyres and ended up with 3 dealers offering me 'Budget' tyres. Paid £52.50 each, with 5 year manufacturer's warranty ;)

    In love with my Landy

    Thank you all for your support and suggestions! I decided to play safe and let my 'man that can' have it for the last fortnight. His initial suspicion was correct, the seal on the water pump had perished and the consequent rust had caused a hole. It took 3 different orders for the pump...

    In love with my Landy

    That's what I thought!!! I'm pretty sure I've seen V6 on the black plastic cover over the engine though!!! I shall indeed take a picture or two tomorrow to show you. I'm in 2 minds to cancel my MOT first? It's likely to fail on emissions now, isn't it? :frown:

    In love with my Landy

    Thanks so much for all your quick responses! ;) There doesn't seem to be a leak as such although when having put fresh anti freeze in, my son said he could see it clearly dripping out below! I thought I'd seen white smoke coming out of the exhaust but it was a very cold morning.... the temp...

    In love with my Landy

    Hi All! A newbie here but delighted to find lots of other Landy owners. My Freelander (02 reg) was bought for me in 2004 by my beloved for Mothers Day! I loved the height, the electrically heated leather seats and the huge space for my huge dog and teenagers :p Beloved is now an...
