Freelds are great vehicles but like everything else you have to take care about the engine you are buying, best of all are the td4 turbodiesel german bmw
also isthe 1.8 land rover td engine . There also 1.8 16 valve petrol which is pretty goog.

 

Not really depends on the engine you have. Let me know whats your problem

 

i THINK YOU HAVE A BAD HEATER MOTOR, FIND AN AFTER MARKET ONE , IN UK IT´LL BE AN EASY JOB,

 

depend on the type of engine you have, most of makes recomend tbelts every 75.000 km,

 

You can download the RAVE (PDF version of the factory repair manual) from a sticky in the D2 forum. This will give you the technical information, and it will also reference the special tools needed to pull the heads. They are not that sophisticated, and can be purchased on EBay UK if you do a search.

In general, the engine's greatest bugaboo is overheating which causes the heads to push the liners into the block. After that point, they will no longer seal, and cannot be made to seal, without restoring the liner deck height above the block. I have developed a way to lift the liners using a shim, but it is no small amount of work.

I've run the repaired engine hard and it is holding well after 10k miles.

 

Hei chap, youhave to remove the heater motor, clean it on the bench an try it if is goos whith a goo source of 12volt power, , Second check youre heater core. could be leakink,
