Hi Has anyone any idea's about head gaskets? Coolant running through far too quickly, over heating & cold air blowing from the vents - presuming head gasket problem unless anyone can correct me? I know this is supposed to be a common fault but has anyone any idea's of how expensive its going to be to fix? Any recommendations for any good garage's in the north west? Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool area?? Given the history with my last landrover garage - dont think it would be a would idea to return to him!!!! Many thanks in advance. Ange.x

Ok now Im really really worried. Ive just done a quick google search about freelander head gaskets & i keep reading that once its gone the cars a dead donkey & needs a new engine!!!! hhheeeelllllpppppp - surely not????????

Hi guys, Sorry Ive been away for a while. Definately front break pads doing a lot of grinding & squeaking, & given that these were supposed to have been changed at its last service last june I think I may need to complain. Do you agree? I havent checked the fuse in the door ( to be honest I didnt know there was one!! Ooops ) Can you please point me in the right direction of where to find it? Also has anyone any idea's about head gaskets? Coolant running through far too quickly, over heating & cold air blowing from the vents - presuming head gasket problem unless anyone can correct me? I know this is supposed to be a common fault but has anyone any idea's of how expensive its going to be to fix? Any recommendations for any good garage's in the north west? Warrington, Manchester, Liverpool area?? Given the history with my last landrover garage - dont think it would be a would idea to return to him!!!! Why why why have all these problems happened at once ( I love my baby landy but fear it may be time to part ways with her if this is the start of many problems Many thanks again for your responses so far & thanks in advance for any responses to follow. Ange.xxx

Thank you BogMonster!!!!! I knew some cleaver person on here would know the answer ;o) Just another quicky - should brake pads last longer than 12 months? Garage is saying no - seems a bit fishy to me.. Ive had it since it was 6 months old is now 6yrs old, The brake pads were replaced last year on its service, but now they are making that sqeeking & crunching noise again, Garage says new brake pads needed again. Surely not? Im not an F1 rally driver you know!!!! Any advice...... Thanks A.x

Hi guy's sorry for being a newbie but ive searched the archive & cant find a related topic. I drive a 2001 5dr station wagon. The back door has packed in, the window neither drops down when you try & open the door or when you press the button inside the cab, or when you press & hold the unlock key fob. But clueless with all the technical jargon stuff but have read the manual & changed the fuse in the fuse box as a just in case measure & still nothing!!! hmmmm I cant seem to open the boot in any other way. Has any nice person got any suggestions before I take it to landy & get a whopping bill!!! haha Many thanks in advance A.x
