Yeah i always see it when i'm in the crapoyta, never in mine . . . .

Hi Ausfree,

On E-bay yesterday some one showed me a Freelander for $1600--/seven bds 2 days to go. It has blown head gasket. Wondering if this forum will now get someone else who has all the troubles you had :twisted::twisted::twisted:

Thanks for that John, but my FL is a V6 which is not as prone to those problems as the 1.8L four, what I had was a cracked Transmission Cooler which allowed the Coolant into the Auto box causing a very expensive repair, apparently BA Falcons are prone to the same problem!!!:)

not a bad buy though if it is only a head gasket...whats a head gasket worth not much more than $30 , some new coolant & change the oil.....

Bit more involved than that Banjo, head gasket failure is usually a sympton of slipped cylinder liners which means a rather expensive engine rebuild, thats why it is so cheap.!!!!;) If it is a 1.8L petrol, and it sounds like it, they have a very BAD RECORD for slipped cylinder liners. Wouldn't touch with a barge pole, unless you are going to use it as a project and put a different motor in it!!!!

Speaking of projects, Banjo have a look at this Thread that I have been following closely on the Freelander Section of the Forum, this guy is keen, but he hasn't finished his project yet!!!:)
