does not make sense. the car will bereliable only after rebuild it?

Probably a good car to you. I choose one to carry my dog and my mountain bike on the roof... among other things. thats all...

Sao Paulo - BRAZIL

too late. .the kv6 is mine! And yes, I know - get rid! The car is a craprover, gaylander, etc..etc... HOWEVER... We have 2 enginneers in brazil that works with kv6. They have actually very good reputation in fixing LR better than the main dealers. Lets see. One of then is working on mine. The entire engine is being checked, valves, o rings, block etc etc. So far 2.5k pounds burned! The shop will extend engine warranty for more 6 months, and yes, they know very well the project errors on Freelander 1 (rover engine problems; overheating; good transmission with bad cooling sistem; carp sunroof; only front disc brakes with a ABS??? and so on...). Defender has also a long list of technical mistakes as well as other LRs. Now, statistically 20-30% of petrol K series seemed to had problems. Do anyone have another number? specially differentiating 1.8 from kv6? Ive heard only people weeping on their rover engines or others telling same things as to stay away from then. Only descriptions. Note, hard to believe that such potential carp auto has been sold for almost 10 years without any changes!!!! OR BMW, FORD or Honda were getting rid of LR as suggested by Mr White???? Good luck to TATA???

just bought a FL1 KV6 - 04 petrol' and sent to garage for revision. bad news... need to check coolant loss in the engine. Seems to had an overheat in the past and now i ve to pay the bill. Ok under warranty, but is possible to fix and get the car ok again or need to pray for not have the engine blown?

I do the same question for kv6 engine. If rebuild correctly can be reliable engine?
