LR answer was NO! The Freelander is still blowing headgaskets ...... Analyse the Workshop Input thoroughly Robert......??? It is time you stopped Hi-Jacking this Forum with your extremely NEGATIVE sentiment over LR as a Defunkt Entity! You are very 'SOUR' with the Manufacturer in these issues, with your GBP9500 Loss, but you will be ignored from here on. Robert. You may be very correct with your previous views and current research with LR Taunton todayin your own experience, but please STOP criticising sensible and unarguable FACT, posted by dudkat72, Hammill, telfor, Kaiser, steeleuk, woodiess (me and my 10 plus conversions in Cape Town) Hammill, telfor, dudkat and I, have Motor Vehicle Technical Qualifications to back up our ENTHUSIASM and Posts with LR,MG,LOTUS, ETC- K18 HGF, and it's so far, 'VERY SUCCESSFUL' improvement. We are NOT interested in dash or engine fires, window winders, doors falling off and transfer box issues here Robert!! This is the 'LAND ROVER FREELANDER HEAD GASKET FAILURE FORUM', Robert! In other words I personally do not like you 'Terrorising' this Forum, and need to tell you, to 'GO AWAY', and let your Kia's, Renaults and Fords pamper you for a while, with no HGF! Then you can come back and 'BE NICE' to dudkat72 and US for a change? We like our cars! Keep smiling dudkat and friends. You will enjoy the Pik! I am sending my 'Dog' as you mentioned, Robert! Stewart - Cape Town.
This thread is not just about the tech issues, although they are really useful if you have the knowledge, ability and space to do the job yourself, OR the money to pay someone to (hopefully) do it properly. The thread lists several people who have suffered hgf and are at the mercy of garages who may or may not know how to fix it properly (assuming that time will prove the fix works). Most people I know buy a car to use and not incur costly and importune breakdowns, and one look at this thread can only lead to the conclusion that the car is a lemon produced by a company that shows little regard to its customers. This thread is not exclusively for either camp (those who can afford to fix it, or those that advise cutting losses and ditching it). As I said, the tech advice is welcome to mechanically minded people, but doesnt really help the majority of the motoring public, who very often never even open their bonnet !!! I can honedtly say that my Freelander was a pleasure to drive, but I couldnt afford the <10 mpg it was costing me, and not knowing the history of it, along with the many tales of woe from this and many other forums, was greatly relieved to sell it, even at a loss. Motoring is supposed to be worry free from the start, not after having mods done to the car. I too have been following this thread even though i have been Freelander free for well over a year (now a Disco owner) and am now going to unsubscribe, and wishh EVERYONE well and thanks, regards chris
I agree as posted past, with the 'Where is LR Sentiment;! - I am sure that the guys that want the vehicle, and who have it sorted correctly, will enjoy some motoring? Us Tech's are here to keep Motors on the road - with sensible and recommended Technology. WE hve always a prerequisite - DO YOU WANT TO KEEP or SCRAP THE CAR? (Stewart and dudkat) You must enjoy your retirement. For you, the most interesting pik of Mc Naught Comet over Table Mountain a year back. Blessings - Stewart - CT.
"and tbh i cant see any landrover specialist admitting that to you over the phone" Yep exactly what i was thinking......complete and utter bull. For Dont Buy...........I see in one of your last posts that you said you phoned the dealer where YOU got the parts from for the previous repair.
Glad to see that you got the book published. Will purchase & review the finished article. Kind Regards Martin Larkin
You know everything! I know nothing! LOL!!! Headgasket failure on Freelander 1.8 still happening!!

Toyota on Preloved Lots on Land Rover Freelander Funny that!! LOL!!! Please make your own mind up on the Freelander. Read ALL the reviews on Preloved. Check out the web.
So many websites with problems with the Land Rover Freelander!! Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
My Freelander was a total disaster, but the wife loved it, if only Land Rover could have sorted the problems - they had long enough - but they did not. So many websites with so many problems with the Land Rover Freelander, be it with the 1.8 petrol or with the TD4. I personally loved driving the car. But I could not afford the running costs, very very excessive!! We are talking £1,000's not £100's. Land Rover could have had a world wide success here, let down by the mechanics, hopefully Tata will sort this. Please read all the reviews on this website and also on all the other websites, world wide, make your own mind up on the Freelander. I know nothing!!!!
My advise is from an experienced back ground of repair , so you constantly dragging the thread down is pointless. Just to let you know... I dont do things without telling people why i have done them, but i have made an official complaint to Preloved about your motives on this website....they are all there for people to see and to most its clear that your are extremely upset with the fact one of these vehicles has cost you alot of money and your intention is to bad mouth everything and everyone relating to Land Rover irregardless whether they are right or wrong.
You know everything! I know nothing! UNQUOTE......... Robert ...... you are embarrassing yourself ...... GET A LIFE or, go to Tech and get qualified like dudkat and others!!!! Oh yes, and remember the years of practice after qualification .... Go away please ...... Again ...... my Labrador ......
....you just have insulted, Robert...... as you have subjected dudkat all along! We don't endulge, just use the expression!! One thing I cannot stand, is the continued 'riddicule' of an intellectual person who has 'concentrated' more on a 'specific problem' than you have? Maybe, if I were to explain to you again, in a different light to dudkat'. Many attempts to get you to understand 'The Forum' we are associated with - 'WE ARE DISCUSSING K18 Engine HGF on LandRover Freelanders' on this Forum. Not the failure of a Defunkt British Manufacturer to support us! You have to be flexible in your non technical 'pea brain', to accept the above requirements of this Forum! I came on the Forum to understand K18 progress, share new technology with my 'K18 near failure', help with new failures, and then to hear of success. I discussed with you on PM, the 'Class Action' you had prepared and planned, which was eventually aborted! I felt the same as dudkat - 'farting against a VOLKANO' ! Instead, I end up in a Forum Brawl - Tech vs ??. I welcome you as a fellow human, to understand what we are discussing over K18 HGF issues related to Landrover Freelanders, not your past 'HISTERIOR' with fires, doors, mirrors, gearboxes, water leaks, flat tyres, and the disastrous Manufacturer who is NOW DEFUNKNT ! Times are now, VERY Heated - as is my pik over Cape Town! Stewart W - Cape Town.
Remember, that dudkat has not had a return since Mods introduced for nearly 2yrs! Neith have we with the plus 10 MG TF s done in the Cape Town Centre! I 'Cut and Paste' a previous post with reference to a previous detailed REPAIR post on page 180 (if not the umteinth time from various writers!). We are here to help you Hangem, and have full support. You just had to liase with dudkat for support and referral! Chow. Stewart W - Cape Town. Land Rover Freelander Head Gasket Failure
Technology is how you apply it....... woodiess - Cape Town.
Or ask them what 4x4 blows it headgasket more than any other 4x4's. I think the answer will be: The Freelander 1.8 petrol!!!!! Please, please with some of the forums comments saying that the problem has been sorted, check it out for yourself, telephone any reputable garage, ask what they think! If you have a 1.8 petrol Freelander, take out a reputable car warrantee. My advice is: if you want a decent 4x4, buy a Honda.
