dudkat72 - I have felt this coming for a while, but thought you were a VERY KOOL Character?

YOU ARE STILL THE FORUM 'GURU', IN THE FORUM's MIND - and not worth 'losing it 'over a prik' who 'INTENDS' towards a NEGATIVE BIAS!

ROBERT - I have asked you nicely. Now I am TELLING YOU - If you do not 'GO AWAY' soon, I will personally anounce your email address on this Forum, for all to see who we are talking about !

Find me, for your Legal Suit ???

We 'stick together' like family!!

Stu - There has never ever been this type of Warranty on a Vehicle.
I and many, have suffered '*!#%!@' with Ford and VW - and pushed for an extended type Warranty or, Goodwill.
It has NEVER HAPPENED !
Why NOW ???
We have ALL wished for this, but somehow have to do it ourselves.
We WANT THE CAR, we then do it ourselves - and SEEK THE BEST WAY
FORWARD.
Get the picture STU ?? AND the likes of 'DON'T BUY LR'!!!
The majority of the Forum want our vehicles, and will sort them the best way.
Thanks to the likes of dudkat72 and others, we can ADVANCE Positively!

Stewart W - Cape Town.

Its a shame its got to this stage, I agree that the HG issue can be a very emotive one, but I for one am tired of the mud slinging on this forum (and I am merely a spectator whos interest was fuelled by my very own HG failure, supposedly enjoying the technical responces,to add to the collection already here.)

But when my email reminds me that there is an addition to the forum, I no longer view this with interest in the subject field, but ask myself 'whos arguing now?'

Let the forum be there for the technical side, not the bullSh*t that it has evolved into spreading.

Let the guys with technical knowledge feed the rest of us with knowledge so that we may apply the skills. and leave the bull in the pub/bar.

If Land Rover do say they only warrantee head gasket repairs for 3 months, then I think we ALL must conclude from this that the head gasket problem is still there! Out of all the cars I have owned, my wife has owned, all the people I work with have owned. None has suffered head gasket failure with any of the cars that they have owned, except me when I owned the Land Rover Three Grander, which suffered head gasket failure twice. All the other cars that I have owned and there have been many, have not suffered head gasket failure.

But no one has answered the question, have Land Rover or anyone else sorted the head gasket problem? And if they have were is the proof. I for one will go on and on and on about the Freelander I owned. It looked nice, the wife loved it. I could no longer aford to run it. The repair bills were that bad! Cost me £1,000's in repair bills. And can we cut out the foul language. Everyone is entilted to their opinion with out all this nastiness!

filrabey - Thank you. You obviously have 'silently' enjoyed the reason I came on board?
Let this Forum concentrate on HG (HEAD GASKET) Technical Advices between the KNOWS and DON'T KNOWS.
Thank you , and I hope it's with genuine encouragement, to bring back dudkat72, telfor, Bill H and Kaiser.
Best regards, Stewart W - Cape Town.

Yes, the question has been answered - but ONLY VERY RECENTLY.
We 'latest mods' enjoy a COMPLETE MLS KIT WITH THE REDESIGNED OIL RAIL! Now, it's over to time and useage of the vehicle.
The latest Spec came about over years of repeated issues like you have experienced.
dudkat has witnessed the improvements - but time will tell.
Regards Stewart = Cape Town.

Stu.

Dont buy and yourself DONT listen to what is being told to you , i have no financial reason to come on here and to tell you that in the 2+ years this modification has been out i have not had one repeat visit....i have told you this time and time again, but you still ask the same questions.

Im giving people another option other than scrapping their cars , which , correct me if im wrong, is the main reason for this website..... to advise and to spread information. Im able to see both aspects of this problem, ie your aspect of telling people to get shot , and my aspect of working with these cars since day one ....its for that reason im able to advise that there are other options....where as your advise is naturally biased due to having your fingers burnt.

If you have one ounce of sympathy for poor people on this site then let the people who know this vehicle advise without this constant back stabbing and advising people to get shot.....anybody can do that .

Now this is the last time , SINCE THE RELEASE OF THIS MOD BY LAND ROVER , I HAVE HAD NO REPEAT FAILURES, I CANT SAY THE SAME FOR LAND ROVERS OTHER ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IF YOU GET THIS REPAIR DONE AT A LAND ROVER DEALER THEY WILL WARRANT THE WORK FOR 1 YEAR WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND LABOUR.....THEY WONT GIVE YOU A LIFETIME GUARANTEE !!

Stu,
I've been following this discussion for quite some time, I'm under no illusion that this is a very emotive issue and its seen its fair share of arguments, even to the point of dragging some poor guys sons effort in afghanistan into the argument (who knows what thats got to do with Freelanders) my point being is, yes we need to vent our anger and to help each other through experience.but we shouldnt let in-fighting be the focus of the discussion. hell ...I love an argument but i will go out and pick my fights if there is good reason, but on forums like this... I'll make my point and leave it at that.
heres to healthy debate and technical advancements ...I hope!

Hi all Hi Stewart (Cape Town) i aint been on here for a while..just been readin the posts

All i can say is i had the modified h/g 17 months ago and i have had no problems with my freelander since whatsoever..i still check the water every 2 days as i got into the habit BUT i have never had to top it up ONCE since i had the modified H/G sooo this tells me and hopefully some of you people that the modified H/G must work... no i dont work for landrover and no i dont have shares in landrover *!#%!@,i belive dudcat when he says he aint had any repairs to do on any freelander with the new H/G as mines been great and i wouldnt even contemplate selling it now to be fair!

Dont Buy.

Ive checked out the link to the website , i havent read eveything but , it appears a bloke is a bit annoyed because he bought a car without warranty ....Pray tell what is the connection to the hg issue on Land Rover Freelander...or am i missing something here ?

Proof alone what your motives are on this website ... that being to spread as much *!#%!@ as possible.

Note to moderator......bet rid of this clown asap ...he is adding nothing.....he is the human equivelent of thrush.

The way I read it is that he did have a 3 year warranty.

After dudkat72 outburst this week, totally out of order in my book. I thought well lets give him the benefit of doubt, so this morning I telephone the Land Rover Specialist in Taunton where I purchased parts when I had a Freelander. I asked them did the Freelander still have a problem with blowing its headgasket. Does the latest headgasket solve the problem.

There answer was NO! The Freelander is still blowing headgaskets
