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.

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

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.

Ok thanks for that info.

Prop is there. No rot at all.. amazingly clean underneath…!!

@@Roverturbo That's great. If the body is solid and without rot then it may be worth a punt if you can do the head gasket yourself. There is also a modification you can do to the coolant plumbing that does away with thermal shock affecting the head when the thermostat opens. Some K series owners would drill a small hole in the stat to allow some warm water to flow through before it opens.

Freelander 1 was terrible yet freelander 2 was fantastic

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

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.

It’s actually in very good condition underneath, actually… it’s in amazing condition l….it would only need a couple drop link boots for mot.

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.
