Freelander 1.8 cambelt - DP
Against all advice, and in full knowledge of the HGF probability, my dad has gone and bought a 1.8 petrol Freelander. In fairness, it's a lovely example (99V one owner, 75k FLRSH) and is in very good nick and drives lovely. It is however due a cambelt and major service in a few thousand miles, and I have volunteered to do it for him.

The belt swap looks lovely and easy from an access point of view (tiny engine, huge underbonnet space), and I've done belts on Ford Endura-DE, Pinto and Ford Zetec before, but never worked on a K at all. Will track down a manual, but any practical experience / advice welcome.

Cheers as always
DP

This month's edition of 'Car Mechanics' has an article on changing this cambelt.
