A big like from Kerala India

How about immobiliser locked my friend took the battery off left it for 3 days can't start it now keeps coming up and mobilise the locked what's the best thing for it

Skipped probably the most important step 🤯. What a waste of his own time and mine.

Scrap it matey....no brainer

Hi mate, got an astra J 1.6 diesel and having very similar problems… how would you differentiate whether or not the issue is due to the EGR or the boost control valve? Cheers

Just scrap it. Another horrible freelander off the road 😂

why dont you start a patreon ?

Why do you think the bottle is split?? Pressure in the cooling system!🙄🙄

love this channel and your down to earth approach to thing s

the abs sensor light should go out at 10 miles an hour getting one into reverse just put it in neutral and wait a second then it will go in the wife has had one for 24 years and since she had the head gasket properly done that's head skimmed ,new 3 ply gasket along with new head bolts as they stretch and bingo you are all ready to go .do not for get those engines also went into lotuses

Full head gasket set including new head bolts cost less that £100 on flea-bay. If you can do it yourself then go for it.

I'm having exactly the same problem and I am also having a problem with constant regeneration on the DPF!! These engines are terrible in my opinion I've had nothing but problems with mine!! Euro6 engines seem to be far mare problematic than euro5

Scrap it if I was you not worth doing

Freelander 1 was terrible yet freelander 2 was fantastic

Not being smart but the freelander is one of the worst cars ever made nightmare and believe me I hade one or two in the past

Hi. I ran a Freelander 1 for years. ABS light is normal, they stay on and then go off when you start driving, it is just how they are. I had 3 head gaskets in the time i owned my Freelander. It was maintained correctly and never overheated yet had the failures. If you decide to do the job then make sure the liners have not dropped and get the new design N series gasket. Have you checked for rot? The outriggers are a bad spot. Is the rear prop shaft still there? Many were removed when the viscous coupling failed making them front wheel drive only.

I'd love to see the repair videos on it but you can't throw good money after bad at it. Shame really looks quite tidy. I'd sell it spares or repair you could make a couple of hundred on it.

Scrap it.

Don't waste your time and money on it just scrap it

Selll for spares or repair someone will love it, they do have a following of sorts.

My hot take: Honestly you should scrap it for 300 or sell it to someone for parts. It has some things going for it, it isn't rusted to bits and it doesn't look terrible. It *could* be fixed by someone determined. But probably very few such people exist.

Scrap it and buy something better with the money

Shame really coz there not too bad of a run about ! I had an 04 plate and it went less than 50k on it managed to trade it in . I think it’s probably best to send it to scarp yard heaven and get ur £50 notes

Scrap it

Is there a further video for the actual Timing Chain replacement ?

Can you replace the oil pump without doing all this on these engines? I've got a b16dtl that needs new oil pump

Growing up I never ever thought anything of these cars because I didn’t think a lot of many Rovers. Now I realise what an excellent bit of kit these are. It must be worth a lot. It should be 3D scanned it’s that rare and special. Want to see more of this car!

Hello Sir can i have your number.

I thought you said initially it had 44 miles and 58 on eco mode after a full charge , and i have learned its better to only charge upto 80% in order to get longer life out of the battery.

Hi Robert. Thanks for posting this. I have an Astra K with 98000 miles that occasionally flags a P0401 code. I clear the code and it stays away for some time but I will need to to something more than cleaning the MAP sensor periodically. As you have shown I too think the culprit is the EGR cooler and a good clean is probably on the horizon! Does this job require any specific tooling, is there anything to watch out for, new seals etc or any recommend removal steps? Any pointers gratefully received.

Hi Robert. I have the 1.6 DTL. I avoided this build-up by removing the oil gases from the camshaft cover to a decanter or oil collection tank and placing a metal gasket at the EGR inlet, in which we reduce the passage of exhaust gases to a hole of only 8 mm in diameter. There is no DTC fault, the engine gains at low revs, and no part of the intake system gets dirty with oil and carbon. If we leave the system AS STANDARD, the sum of oil and carbon will sooner or later clog the EGR, the cooler, the electric air passage butterfly and the MAP sensor as we see in your video. After 9 years and 198,000 km I have hardly any dirt (from time to time) I remove and observe the turbo inlet pipe, the throttle valve inlet, and the MAP sensor and it is almost clean. It is worth it Robert. Greetings

holy shit.. this is the easy way? LOL. great video regardless

Great video. Very informative. Watching this helped me a lot with DIY sump removal and replacement - especially avoiding nasty surprises. Many thanks.

Very nice video, thanks! Question: do you know if this is similar to the Opel/Vauxhall Adam? We happen to have a broken aircondition evaporator 😥

Mr Muscle did a brilliant job on cleaning up my varibale valve turbo on my mk4 golf. Re your DPF, it may have cleaned it but, why was it not cleaning itself is the question. If it fills up again and doesn't burn off when at the set limit there's an underlying issue. What you've done is a good idea and certainly novel but you really need to follow-up with an immediate investigation of why it was full and not self regulating.

Interesting- a bit of thinking outside the box

If the car didn't came with alarm, can I buy the OEM module and install it, and program de ecu directly, short way.. or I need to go the long way with more parts and change the wiring and other things... Or not.. and it doesn't work at all? And where do I find the his spot to install?

Common problem with after market clutches. Change the master cylinder with an ix35 adjustable rod and adjust the pedal

Its very foamy , accidentally you can damage turbo compressor wheel

GM turbo junk

Great job great video thank you

jesus F christ! i have to fix a oil leak and a/c leak and i just figured i WILL have to remove the engine! OMFG

I found that I have the same gear box on my mondeo mk4 , thanks for the video. The mondeo videoes i have looked at is totally different and I might also get another oil as the one I have is spec Ford WSS-M2C924-A but maybe not if I am lucky. Thx

Hello my boyfriends it’s having clutch slip on his dq200 dsg just wondering where u are from and could u help

Did you do a video on the basic settings side? Have one failing on 100 after gearbox replacement

Hi do you have the part 3 for this video?

So someone could reset the battery health just before selling it?

They're probably the supplier of the casting for VW and selling their own version out the back door. 😂

are they kidding, a $100 for a bottle of steel seal just big enough to do one single 4 cyl engine, they've bumped their heads..........

Is the follow up video ready yet?
