No matter what upgrades you do on it. And even if you check the water and oil every day. Land Rover gave up trying to solve the problems years ago. And now they do not make this model of Freelander. Well they obviously feel they have gotten away with it. There are far too many disaster stories on the various forums to think otherwise. If Dudkat and CBR freelander think the opposite then thats their choice.
Just keep on driving it. Its only a matter of time I would say that if you keep it for another 12 months, then you will definately suffer another headgasket failure. As sure as eggs are eggs. Keep plenty of money in your bank account, you are definately going to need it.
Its had millions of hits, because people obviously have a problem. Agreeing and disagreeing with others is fine, but i certianly dont see the good in having a go at the people who could help you.. Not talking about land rover either. Im sure between us all, and there are a few of us, we could come up with a solution.Maybe not a permanant one, but one thats cheap enough to do. I'll probably get slated again, but if anyone is interested, im sure dudkat could tell you what it is and exactly what model its for...If memory serves me correctly, its a level sensor for a 2005 freelander, which attaches to the hose in your expansion bottle..So when the water empties out of it, it completes the circuit and does whatever you want....buzz a buzzer or light a light...
Tranfer box There is no solution for putting the Freelander right. Land Rover did not do it. And certainly are not interested in sorting it now. I have read litterally hundreds and hundreds of people unhappy with the Freelander on all the review sites, might even be thousands by now. So my advice is if you have the FREELANDER, sell it before it makes a very very big dent in your bank balance. AND IT WILL!!!
The customer paid £20000-£25000 for their Freelanders, and Land Rover knowing there was a problem with water loss would not even do a recall to fit a alarm, this would have cost them peanuts. They could have done it as part of the service schedule. Land Rover made £££££££'s in repair bills for blown headgaskets and new engines. So that is probably why they did not fit the water loss device. Well done Land Rover
As we all know Land Rover say there isn't a problem, and that would be admitting there is. Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
Things have moved on slightly , my hands are no longer dirtied with the Land Rover filth just get covered in ink now as ive been transformed into a pen-pusher . We were very early stages with the MLS headgasket , back then the early signs looked very good and have stayed that way also which is promising. We still have not had any repeat failures as yet bearing in mind its nearly 2 1/2 yrs ago since the first were fitted . There have been several reports on here of repeat failures but my suspicions are that these vehicles had an underlying problem that was left undetected. Stewart gave some very good advice on here recently about the job being carried out 100% and not to cut corners , i still think this is happening due to some people saying to get it repaired cheapily and sell it on a asap...of course all they are doing is giving the new owner the headache and pulling more people onto this site complaining about hg failure....its a vicious circle. I vowed ages ago never to come back on here but i still do....keeping the advice the same , trouble is my experience with this vehicle differ from everybody elses and of course will naturally cause conflict because its a very emotive subject . Just every now and again though you get the odd person who ( like yourself )as actually appreciated the advice and has had the inteligence to understand what im trying to say and not to turn it round and complain that im defending LR.
Hi,i did ask you a bit back about the purge valve and you didnt reply to me,the question was if i disconnect it will any damage be done if i drive without it ? ta lee
I hear you in Cape Town. I am desperately trying to log something onto a LR Communication Site on all our behalf? There is nothing Worldwide available for an Email - Just Sales - Sales and more Sales! It's all very well suggesting Solicitors, but we all have lives and COSTS! I may well lose my T Eng (CEI) qualification, but let's get real on this stuff - LR ARE NOT BEHAVING LIKE HUMAN BEINGS! I am a Tech, and yet, I am QUESTIONING THE ETHICS OF LandRover Worldwide, let alone UK. Both you ladies' had NEW VEHICLES (and others) - but let's concentrate on the 'Cruella and Shaz issues' ? You have both had LANDROVER PRODUCTS from NEW ? You have both had similar ENGINE FAILURE's ? You have both received the same teatment and result, from the PURCHASING Landrover DEALER ? You have both received the same treatment from LANDROVER UK ? I have had Email comm with (earlier contributor) Rob about a forget it guys and gals. There is 'NOBODY' to nail! The Ex Rover Company AH's have retired with HUGE pensions and LIFESTYLES! The current LR Guys are very vulnerable with the circumstances. Telfer and I, still need to know what supplier V6 Motors you girls have in your LRs? Apert from this, I personally hear your plea - yet am helpless in solving the issue. (Like ALL of us) Best regards, Stewie - Cape Town.
Freegs - it rhymes with your God Son's Rover VVC issue ??? Check out your Buddies with Lotus Elise', too - see, it also rhymes - dadkat72 (sp) ..... Best wishes, the 'K18 Rover Series Tech' from Cape Town, South Africa! (PS If he keeps it - Please do wot I and Telfer have submitted - NB NB!)
I am the 'New Boy' on the Blok! So how is the MLS? I have moved from Tech over, to the Emotional aspects of LR. They really are disgusting with the few NEW OWNERS, even after I need you to carefully read contributions from Shaz and Cruella. Look forward to more 'chin chin'. Stewart - 'The Tech' from Cape Town. (Think I am terrible - Wait for 'the Telfor' from the Rover 75 Forum!)
I am 'EMOTIONAL' first, then Tech. You have convinced me to return to the Technical side of Rover Series K18 motors! As a new comer, I came on with 'HUGE' Tech advice. Then read the 'EMOTIONAL' stuff - Here we are, reading your re - entry to Atmosphere. Welcome home. Let's try and work on K18 HGF! My personal interest, success' with MLS - USING THE FULL KIT with Best regards, Stewart W - T Eng (CEI)
How's it going with u and yr Fby? Remember. U R the talk of the forum, having dun the MLS kit as suggested. I am interested in your 'old' reused Bolts! Stewart - CT and 'Telfor - Rover 75 Forum' are proud of u Brother. Just keep that LR K18 working, and report in regularly. Stewart W - Cape Town.
It is an 03 Vin, same as my MG TF. No problems yet?????? Must call and hear what Kms so far. I agree with your issue - but let us get the Forum together for a 'fix' and positive move. Stewart W - Cape Town.
Sorry that my previous messages have followed 1 by 1. They were actual replies to specific messages. You willhave to guess who - because EVEN the WEBSITE has gone Bonkers! Keep it going ....... I want to hear POSITIVE K18 MLS results please. Gaby and I have only covered 176kms since the SAR 21k job on our MG TF K18! Early days, 'Don't Buy a Landrover' ! I also need the detail of the Girls' V6 production. Best wishes to you all. Stewart W - Cape Town.
