Hi,

Have you replaced the expansion tank cap? it could be a minor hiss that causes localised /overheating boiling as the system depresurises? ITs nice and cheap so worth a punt.  You may need to replace the entire tank, but other than time/effort its not too expensive.

petergalileo:
Hey, you might have something there, I noticed a few times that it has leaked out water, often have a wet patch near the tyre.

Will try a new cap, would that also explain the miss fire when it gets warm ? (normal operating temp)

I have to admit, prior to it warming up it purrs.

Peter

TEMPL4R:
Have you  had the thermostat changed? It should always be done when a Head Gasket fails, it could be the cause. The Freelander is notoriously difficult to bleed the system properly, try doing it again.
