What are the symptoms of a Head Gasket problem?

Common symptoms of head gasket failure are:

• Engine overheating
• Excessive coolant loss
• Coolant in the oil (this looks like a milky sludge on the dipstick, or oil filler cap)
• Oil in the coolant (this also looks like a milky sludge, but in the expansion tank)
• Engine misfire, excessive white smoke from the exhaust, or hard/ non start.

Which Head Gasket Replacement should I have?

Which head gasket replacement you go for very much depends on what has happened to your Freelander V6.

If your Freelander has not overheated and you are looking to change the head gasket from the original single layer head gasket as a precautionary measure then you will only need the standard head gasket replacement.

If your Freelander has severely overheated then it is recommended you use the deluxe head gasket replacement as this addresses all the parts of the cooling system that could have caused the problem or could have been affected by the overheating.

PLEASE NOTE: If your engine has excessively overheated, it may have caused further damage which the standard head gasket replacement may not repair.

Can you change the cam belt at the same time?

Your cam belt should be changed every 72,000 miles. If your vehicle is close to this mileage it will be cost effective to have the cam belt changed at the same time as the head gasket is done.

A cam belt change when done with the head gasket is only £295 (normal price £795) – this includes all three cam belts, tensioner and idler.

What if my Freelander is not drivable?

If your Freelander does not drive and you need to get it to us to fix your head gasket why not try:

1. Phoning your breakdown recovery service, if you have one. These will sometimes transport your car for free, or at a reduced rate.
2. Giving us a call on 0780 9575 421 and we will arrange to transport your car to us for a cost of £1.80 per mile (calculated one way only to IP26 4RH). We can collect from anywhere in Europe (ferry crossings will be charged additionally where applicable).

Where are you?

We are based in Norfolk, postcode IP26 4RH.

If you don’t have a lift home after dropping your car with us, and are looking to use public transport, we can drop you / pick you up at the railway station – our closest is Brandon, however if you are coming through London there is a direct train line from Downham Market which is not too far either. If Thetford is more convenient for you this is also possible.

How long will it take?

To replace your head gaskets takes about one week, this is due to the machining which is required.

If you need your Freelander back on the road quicker than this just give us a call on
