Had your head gasket, thermostat etc. done and your Freelander is still overheating or the fans are coming on and staying on?
Think you have checked everything and still cannot find the problem?
This could be an issue with the coolant reservoir cap, particularly if your Freelander is a petrol model.
Taking EXTREME caution, after a run try to open the coolant reservoir to see if you have pressure there. If there is little pressure then try replacing the cap.
Also check for hairline cracks around the coolant reservoir neck, and if these are present replace this too.
Hi Sue
I have had clutch changed on my 1.8 05 freelander .the fitter drained the coolant then refilled shortly afterwards the low level coolant light lit up .theres nothing wrong with coolant levels all running fine .not losing or using coolant .
how can I turn warning light off please.

Hi Lewis,
It sounds like a faulty coolant level sensor – try replacing this and this should sort the problem.
All the best,

How does the new type of expansion tank pressurise in my 1.8 petrol freelander as the lid doesn,t seem to tighten whatsoever??
Hi Billy,
The new caps should turn until they start to click. Once it starts clicking then it has sealed and will hold the pressure. It is no longer a case of tightening it until you cannot turn it any more.
All the best,
Sue
Hi Sue,
Its been a while since I answered you due to ill health,anyway during that time
I fitted a new water pump as I noticed red coolant on the drive on the drivers
side (antifreeze) & put new hose clips on all hoses, also while I was at it I
fitted a new expansion tank. Just to say before doing all that work we
checked all round the head gasket & found no signs of seepage. We then
flushed the system to clear any air locks & buttoned it all up. I took the car
out for an hour or so & all was good & the temp gauge fluctuated about half
way so when I got back home & stopped the car steam was belching out of
the top of the expansion tank. I was positive we covered all angles & expected to be trouble free but the only thing that put a slight doubt in my head was screwing the lid on the tank,,, It ran down the threads but instead of tightening the way a normal lid would do it just clicked & wouldn,t tighten any further so I naturally assumed that it was set to a certain pressure &
couldn,t be faulty but now I,m having doubts as this seems to be the only weak link in the system. Has anyone come across the same problem & would you think this is the cause of water loss & what can I do to fix it.??
Hi Billy,
Yes, once it clicks it should be sealed. We have known the caps to have issues however, so it could be worth trying another cap on it.
If it is the 1.8 Petrol model did you bleed it from both the bleed screws?
All the best,
Sue
Olá Sue, bom dia! Preciso de ajuda. o Modulo está desprogramado o motor não funciona. não é sensor de Rotação. o problema é o Modulo que DESPROGRAMOU. A caixa de transmissão/marcha não entra a RÉ.
fiz reparo troquei os discos , solenóides filtro da caixa de transmissão jf506e da freelander 1 e recondicionei o conversor de torque. O problema é que instalei o Conversor de torque no motor sem colocar òleo no Conversor, e agora o que devo fazer?
Hi Joslas,
Unfortunately the best thing to do is to go back and put oil in and refit it.
All the best,

Oi Joslas,
Infelizmente, a melhor coisa a fazer é ir para trás e colocar óleo e montá-la.
Tudo de bom,
Sue

Olá Sue, Boa noite!
Instalei nova caixa de câmbio, na minha Freelander 1 e não consigo tração na marcha RÉ, e o Tiptronic não funciona.
O dono anterior, tirou o Radio original, instalou um Kit Multimídia de outra marca criando vários problemas eletrônicos no carro.
Por favor, me oriente.
Hello Josias,
When filling the gearbox with oil which plug(s) did you undo? There is one plug which can be mistaken for the drain plug and if undone you will loose reverse gear and unfortunately the gearbox will need reconditioning or replacing to rectify the issue.
With regard to the electrical issues you would be best to go to an auto electrician and explain what has been replaced so they can trace through the wiring that has been changed / disturbed.
All the best,
Sue

Olá Josias,
Ao encher a caixa de engrenagens com óleo que plug (s) você desfazer? Há um plug que pode ser confundido com o plug de dreno e se desfeita você vai perder marcha inversa e, infelizmente, a caixa de câmbio vai precisar de recondicionamento ou substituição para corrigir o problema.
Com relação às questões elétricas você seria melhor ir para um eletricista de auto e explicar o que foi substituído para que eles possam rastrear através da fiação que foi alterado / perturbado.
muito bem sucedida,
Sue
Não tenho tração na RÉ,só nas marchas 1, 2, 3, 4, e 5. o Tiptronic agora funciona. Não sei o que fazer….
Hi Josias,
Are you not getting reverse gear at all? Has the gearbox oil recently been changed? If so then it is possible the wrong plug has been undone causing the gearbox to lose reverse gear. Unfortunately if this has happened then the only way to remedy it is a complet recondition of the gearbox or a replacement gearbox.
All the best,

I have to keep topping up with water
Hi Billy,
Which engine does your Freelander have?
Are there any signs of a leak in the engine bay?
Is there are creamy substance on the oil filler cap?
How often do you top up and how much do you add?
How many miles has your Freelander done?
Are you getting any white smoke from the exhaust after the Freelander has heated up?
Do you lose the water when it is running or when it is stationary?
All the best,
Sue
