m8 theres only one idiot on here and thats you u prik
I have been giving advise thanks unfortunately they dont fall into other peoples motives. This site was dorment from Oct 20th to Oct 30th...then all of a sudden Dont Buy gives us..... If you are reading this discussion, and are even thinking of buying a 1.8 petrol Freelander 1. Just telephone any garage in Somerset - but not a Land Rover Dealer - and just ask them if the head gasket failure on a Freelander 1.8 has been sorted. 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. Just wished that Land Rover had applied it to the Freelander 1 1.8 petrol. Stewart (nice pictures) stop drink the wine, it fuddles your mind!!! Dudkat, stop giving people false hope, the Freelander 1, 1.8 is an all time LEMON!!! You say that the Freelander 1, 1.8 petrol engine has been sorted by Land Rover. TOTAL CRAP!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!! So the engine liners could drop causing head gasket failure, and Land Rover has not recalled every Freelander 1, 1.8 petrol? If this happened with Ford or VW or Volvo or Renault they would have recalled all the cars, there is nothing on Wikipeadia on dropping engine liners on their cars. If you unfortunately own a 1.8 petrol Freelander 1, ring any Trade Dealer to see what it is worth. You will be very very disappointed. If you are thinking of buying a Freelander 1, even if it is at a very, very low price! Don't bother, this car will let you down, this car will cost you lots of money, especially if the head gasket fails, and it could happen. My advice is buy a Honda from a Honda dealer, they will treat you very well!!!! Hey Dudkat and Stewart you can change what Wikipeadia are saying about the Freelander 1. Its only a matter of time before they say it was an ALL TIME LEMON!!!!! And then we get.... Dudkat and Stewart please take note. Dudkat keeps harping on that the headgasket problem has been sorted, but obviously NOT. If Mitch's repair was done in 2008, then Land Rover would have used the new modifications. If you think for one minute im going to break bread with this self important inflamitory halfwit then you are very much mistaken.
Follow Dudkat and Stewarts advice, spend yet another couple of grand to repair your Freelander 1.8, then it goes wrong yet again with head gasket failure!! The only one who is winning on their advice is Land Rover who are supplying the parts, not once but twice!! Great advice!! I don't think so!!!
I know you are happy with your Freelander 1.8! No headgasket problems in 18 months, and you check the water? Was it every day or every week, I have forgotten!! LOL LOL LOL
yes i check my water ofter... maybe if you had done the same you wouldnt have lost all that money you keep harpin on about LOL LOL LOL LOL awww Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
It seems that you are the only one that can repair the 1.8 Petrol Freelander. Well done! Unfortunately Mitch has had her repair done by a Land Rover dealer, and how long did it last? Perhaps you should contact Land Rover, they could send all their cars to you for repair and then all will be well in the Land Rover 1.8 world. The garage that I talk to are still saying that there is a problem with the Freelander 1.8 and also with the Multilayered gasket, perhaps everyone is fitting it the wrong way, well Mitch's repair was done by Guy Salmon, Stockport who are a Land Rover dealer. Why not ring them and offer your expert advice, I am sure they will take it onboard! Watch out there are Prats about say that the Freelander 1.8 engine has now been sorted!! Well in their world, not sure its the same world that I live in!! If Land Rover are not fixing it, how can you or anyone else!!! I take on board what you are saying Dudkat and Stewart, but I just do not agree!
I checked mine every week, but still suffered headgasket failure! Wished I had fitted that warning buzzer on the water level.
Personally I don't like to eat too much bread, it makes you FAT!
You have your opinion, I have mine. My opinion is that if you own the 1.8 Freelander 1 and the headgasket goes, its a waist of time spending hundreds if not thousands of pounds fixing it, if in my case it is going to happen again, which it can. Cut your losses and sell. Dudkat you cannot sort the problem, if Land Rover can't do it, how can you. The garage I talk to says that the Freelander 1 headgaskets are still blowing. Lets agree to differ! You can call me what you like, I don't care, I owned a Freelander 1.8 petrol, been their, done it. So I am NOT going to sit back, when you are saying you have had no problems in 2.5 years, unfortunately this is not the case with the rest of the world. Carry on carrying on!
Yup - I spent an Hour and more preparing a post a mile long - and did not save to Word!!!!! At least now, I can be polite (not a Wino?) Dud's - you confuse me with your emotional 'repetition' of other's quotes on your Posting (Looks like you stomping on ME?) - or did you not write your last post? Why have you not prepared a Parts List with numbers for Mitch? Filrabey - CLocks - Synthetic lubricants, glorified and simple Gearboxes - on the bench and, no 'on the floor' activity ! Stu - keep smiling, and driving. Steeluk - how's your 'on the driveway' repair doing? Robert - Get a life, and let me know when you are planning the Cape Town visit to learn K18 Motor Rebuilds (Your Sweet Wife can be subjected to my Sweet German Lady's 'Audi' Volschrungh Technik! (sp) Mitch - Yup, I have not mastered German, Computors, nor technique with 'Roberts' of this world. Just Clocks, MGB's and K18 Engines! You can have the rest - it Freeks me, and vacuum cleaner's and Bosch Dishwashers! YOU MUST KEEP YOUR BEAUTIFUL FREELANDER ! Who knows what happened to the motor. But it must be properly diagnosed and repaired according to the (VERY IMPORTANT) LATEST, UPGRADED Specification. You can PM 'Private Message' me, and I can help with your Tech. Dudkat, Telfor, D. Hammil and Kaiser can also do if they are reading? Mitch - Just refer to Pages 171, 177 or 178 of this Forum. Read the stuff and form your own opinion. There more posts - just go backwards - Hammil's were eons ago, but his book is out now. Every Tech should have it! Signing off now, chow. Stewart - Cape Town.
NB If your motor has 'OVER HEATED', - NO CYLINDER HEAD SKIM, REPLACE THE HEAD ! with 10 x NEW BOLTS, and the MLS KIT, WATER PUMP, LINERS', BEARING SHELLS, BELTS, ETC. !!!!! I did an OVERBOARD with the MG TF, because we loved the Car! 22thousand SAR!! Stewie xx
yes i wish you had fitted a warning buzzer too and so do a few others on here then you wouldnt be here would you ? ramming your view down peoples necks..every1 knows you made your point and your really boooooring keeping on and onn and ooooooooon zzzzzzzzzzzz
You are changing your Dogs too frequently. How FAT can you get? I still have the same Gun Dog - The 'Bunny & Silly Dog' Hunter! Recognise the Ears? xxxx Stewart W - Cape Town.
Hello hope your well,you must be a mind reader coz i actually had my h/g repaired on my driveway ! heres what happened.. i bought my freelander then 2 weeks later came upon this forum and thought "noooo what have a done buying 1 of these ! " a week later i was loosing water and thought "here we go h/g gone" rang round for quotes which ranged from £900 to £2000 sooo i did some exploring on the net and found a guy whos a self employed ex landrover tech whos main earner is repairing the freelander h/g ..the difference is he charges less then £400 and that includes bolts/'Oil Rail' water pump/h/g (obviously) ect..and a timing belt ! i rang him and when he stripped mthe engine he found nothing wrong with the h/g it was actually the waterpump that was leaking...buttt after reading the stories on here i told him to do the h/g anyways..so i had it all done for £385 on the drive ! because the h/g hadnt actually gone there were no problems from warped head ect.... and now over 18 months later im more then happy..i only paid about 2000 for the car in very good nick..as you all know you can get em cheap in good nick..my advise would be if you get a f/lander have the modified h/g fitted b4 the old 1 goes..starts 1st time i use it to tow my trailer for work every day and after over 18 months im used to it and wouldnt get rid..im happy with it anyways. can i come to africa *!#%!@ av always wanted to go on a safari ! hope your well
