Heyas so my Freelander has been a huge work in progress. I had the top end of the engine rebuilt a year and a half ago, changed the thermostat late last year witch revealed some more issues. so she has a new to her wiring harness for the back bank cause the old one was completely shot and so the back bank was not firing at all. in the same time, they found that the exhaust crankshaft was broken so replaced that, the water pump and belt. meanwhile this whole time she had a misfire and running lean code, which we changed out all the sensors and put a new cat on bank 2.. so here we are 2 or 3 weeks later. last week there was no code the last few days i get randoms misfires OR running lean codes that come on stay for a day or 2 then go away..She runs rough on a cold start but is perfect once shes warm. shes also losing a little water but it is not coming out onto the ground and i can't seem to find where it's going. I took it to a land rover place who did some chemical test on the water system and claims there is C02 in the system... however there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust, no mixing of water and oil .i asked for a pressure test and they didn't want to do it.. he just wanted to take the engine apart but I said no and went to get it back... So any ideas?? I have to wait and save money before I can have them do any head cylinder work IF that is what it is..

 

Sounds likewhat none of us want to to hear. Blow head gasket. But in my case it was worse than that the cylinder sleeve in number six cracked. It would lose coolant but instead of appearing in my oil it was burning it up and damaging my cat instead. I'm on my second engine now and this one has developed the infamous engine knock now. If u can get a engine performance shop to do the work that's your best bet that's where I'm headed this time. Good luck

 

I am planning on having the freelance specialist refurbish/rebuild the engine i just need to save more $ for it. Hopefully, I did find that the fan control module isn't working the way it should. So imin search of another one. well trying to find one at least before i dish out the 500 for a new fan unit.
