agbuckle98 said:what happens if you F one up, then have to replace the entire motor for free on a customer car? It's a complicated procedure, something somewhere will get F'd up eventually. Do you get the diesel Freebies up there in Canada?

syoung said:You'll find that the tensioner and idler are probably not good enough to use again- and many people opt for a fresh water pump too while in there. First time you do one, plan for a couple days of down time- they go faster after that, but 6hrs on the first time would be rushing it a bit.

syoung said:we wanted to replace them, but the car owner couldn't see the value in those 'invisible' parts.

Drillbit said:Just my 2 cents, lately i have been seeing A LOT of freelanders with blown motors show up at salvage auctions. Most of these are ones people blew the motors on then quit making payments. These tend to have 70-100k on them. I talked to a guy i know who is a pretty open and honest guy and he told me that these cars are very sensitive to having their timing belts not changed and can go down easily. Can i swear what he said is the reason? No Can I tell you I have seen a pile of these in the last few months? Yes. IMHO Get your timing belt changed at 70-75K no matter how much they charge its less than the 2500 plus install for a used motor (I don't want to think about a new one). Hope this saves some of you some hassle

jeffro0502 said:Well freelander certainly has the look...but the LR2 to me looks just like a mercury mariner...they all seem the same to me...I know LR2 and freelander do have low gearing though.
