2005 Freelander: head gasket probs thing of the past?
Hi all - great boards here, very informative.
I'm looking to buy a Jan 2005 Registered 1.8 XEi Freelander with 6K on the clock at a good price from a recognised dealer. I've always wanted one and after doing some research it seems the dreaded K Series engine head gasket problems have now been resolved some time ago. Can anyone confirm that it's no longer a problem on the current 1.8i petrol models?
It's the Petrol model I'm after although I realise it won't be as economical to run as a diesel and may have slightly less 'torque'?
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

The head gasket problems should have been sorted by now, im sure there is a modified head gasket fitted to them after that, but dont quote me.
Personally, id buy a TD4 over the K-Series due to the fact that production of theK series is about to end, and land rover are no longer using this engine with the 2006 freelander...
