No I haven't quite given up completely, as I said after going out to find it yesterday I sort of thought “billhooks, that’s it, can’t be arsed”. I’ll take a closer look in a week or so when I have cooled down, unlike the car which has already! Regards David Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me...... Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again...... |

But still probably as useless as a one legged man in an ar_e kicking competition! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Better frame of mind yesterday so took a quick look under the hood......topped up the coolant res with about a litre of coolant (less than I’d feared) engine started and ran without misfiring this time, turned off after 30 seconds or so just in case.

Dave, That is fantastic news. I am a little surprised that you could exceed the Max temp in about 10 minutes (even with a failed Fan) Do you have the dual Fan or single Fan? For my 2008 LR2 I upgraded to a dual Fan from the Volvo S80 when the single fan failed. As for your question about bleeding: The system is self bleeding. Two small bleed tubes are connected to the reservoir. One is from the Radiator and the other is from the cylinder head. I would't remove the connection at the head that is above the Alternator. It is prone to leaking if removed. If you remove the other end of the tube where it connects to the reservoir then you should be able to use a hand held vacuum pump to remove air from the engine. If you want to do this let me know and I will take some pictures of what I am thinking. Welcome back. Don't forget you will need to clean off the Coolant from the engine. Its not a good electrical insulator Take care Paul |

It could have been a bit longer, definitely not more than 20 minutes though thinking about it, and it was a hot day.....it is a one fan system.

Dave, I had to look up SORN. Over here we use Planned Non Operation which I believe is the equivalent. Don't give up. Your Freel2 will be reliable after the repairs. Take care Paul |
