- Replacing the Thermostat on my Freelander 2 as it is opening too early. This causes the engine not to warm up and the heaters blow cold. This is also the same engine as the Range Rover Evoque TD4, SD4 and the Ford Mondeo 2.2 TDCI

One of the best Chanel's I have come across, keep up the interesting content it's really appreciated
Thank you I appreciate it! Glad your enjoying the channel 👌
Very informative. I have same issue as you so now feel confident enough to give it a go. Thanks
Thank you. Its not a bad job to do. Just go steady with that rear pipe and the plastic one with the metal clip can be a bit tight to get on and off.
Great tip on the studs.
Lovely.....I just LOOOOVE Freeloaders.....everything about them is so quick and easy to fix :)
Don't you know it!! How's the gearbox coming on?
@@lifes.projects ...slowly mate....have had to sort Xmas stuff, and my back isn't quite sorted yet....but I'm probably just making excuses! :)
@@GrumpsBarn 🤣 It will soon be over once you get the box back in you will be laughing.
Where exactly andcwhat was that bracket you removed from the rear of the engine??
i know its 3yrs since you put this vid up,but my freelander2 2008 when i switch the heater on as you know you can hear the blower but mine now as rarely any blow on it just makes a quite noise,could the drainage pipe need a blow out?thank you...ROB.👀
The leaves in the scuttle panel were bugging me 🤣😅
Don't worry they are no longer with us 🤣🤣
Excellent video I have just got an 08 freelander 2 but my heater doesn’t work and when I park after a drive the fan is on but I have no idea what it could be
Thank you. Where does your temperature guage sit?
Sounds to me like you could be having circulation issues. Ive never really come across the fan running in FL2 apart from been sat in traffic or having the AC on.
I would be checking the coolant is circulating and that your waterpump is working correctly.
@@lifes.projects it sits in the middle
@@shovelreccy deffo check your coolant is circulating. If it in then look at the heater controls and the heater matrix is clear
@@lifes.projects thanks for getting back to me 🤙
Hi Jim
I am facing heating issue in my freelander 2 2008 I remove thermostat valve but problem still not resolve any advice?
Is the water circulating? If the water isnt then your heaters will stay cold. If the coolant is not circulating. its more than likely the water pump thats failed.
Looking for help on a 2001 Freelander td4. After a period of driving the temp gauge shoots up to hot but engine is fine temp. The fan comes on and it goes back to middle. Or if you turn off and on it resets. Have you done any videos on replacing this ? Before I take it to a garage and get charged the earth ?
Is your coolant level ok?
Sounds like either the water pump is not circulating the coolant or the thermostat is sticking causing it to overheat. Are your heaters warm as if they get cold quick then you have a circulation problem (water pump or blockage) if they stay warm then it would change the thermostat and see how it goes after that.
@@lifes.projects yeah so the coolant level is fine. Heating is hot and cold is good aswell, I bought it cheap. Had been sat for a short time. I'm planning on getting thermostat changed , the temperature sensor is inside this aswell is that right ?
@@chriswhite1644 yeah i would definitely start with the thermostat. Off the top of my headi think the coolant sensor is on the front of the cylinder head on the right hand side
Hi Tom
Would value your opinion I'm thinking of getting a td4 freelander auto what's your thoughts on the auto box? and what should I look out for
Hi Jim. Like everything you hear more bad than you do good. Personally ive not had any issues from any people whos had the Auto FL2. The Auto FL2 usually has the SD4 engine so if you do a lot of short runs make sure you take it for a motorway run now and again to keep the DPF from clogging up.
Another thing to look out for is rear diff problems. From late 2012 onward the rear diff had updated bearings fitted from LR so before 2012 be aware of that.
Other than that make sure you get one with good service history and obviously been well looked after and you should be ok.
How easy is it to remove the front sub on a freelancer 2 thanks mate
Its not too bad as long as the bolts aren't seized. If they come out slightly and lock up put some penetrating oil and work them in and out until they come out fully. Check out my freelander clutch video on the channel.
A few videos back Tom replaces a rotten subframe and a gearbox on his Freelander 2.
Doin one this wekk
does the rear pipe have an o ring in it i have a leak there do i need to replace with new thermostat?
Yes its a rubber o ring. They can go hard and brittle over time and start to leak
@@lifes.projects thanks m8 mine has actually has a split in pipe just under o ring do you by any chance no what the part number is for the metal pipe ?
@@TheJohn924 ah right least you've found it. No I don't but it would be a dealer part or second hand part only.
@@lifes.projects yeah dealer part just n idea how to get to it looks like a garage job
@@TheJohn924 its basically the same as this. Apart from you need to remove the thermostat to be able to remove the pipe then obviously the pipe replace the thermostat while your at it and rebuild
Nice One mate... by the way, can this td4 2.2 be remapped?
Thank you. Yeah they can be mapped. My mates got an Smax with the same engine and he said it responded well to the remap
@@lifes.projects cool do u evee think about map yours :D
@@Merzdaman No I will be selling mine soon as i don't have a use for it now the Defender is on the road 😟
You didn't show how you opened and closed the radiator valve. That's where the hard part of the job pops up. Hose is difficult to route through. Valve is hard to turn (and possible to break it). What tools did you use to do it. That part should be on video. Not just the topping of the reservoir tank. Recommend to video those sections next time.
What about suffering from lazy tom syndrome?
I think your referring to Lazy Takeaway Dan Syndrome 😜
@@lifes.projects like an athlete me pal 🤣
