Nina pajero short-chassis ambayo nilitoa disel engine yake (4d56) na kuweya toyota 3Y engine.
Nimeitumia karibu miaka tisa sasa with no issues lakini nimeichoka sasa.
I like the body shape ya 2004-06 Freelander, but the engine is just mavi. Nimeona possible solution ya kutatua tatizo la overheating na I think it requires kuipiga pasi cylinder head, as quoted below:
"...Tried everything, water pump, radiator, thermostat, header tank cap, yep the works and still no go.
Ended up taking to Land Rover wrecker/repairer in Brooklyn Melbourne and let him do his thing.
Six months later after a virtual engine rebuild the initial problem was finally diagnosed and rectified. After the heads were worked on they were dyed to ensure that everything was ok. At this time the dye showed up an extremely fine rectified fault. Apparently it is a fault that occurs in Fords quite regularly but no so in Land Rovers.
It is known as "channeling". Basically a super fine "channel" occurs between the head and the head gasket on the head itself. This allows the coolant to escape under extreme pressure and temperature, but only at minimal levels of loss. Unfortunately however it causes an almost immediate and extremely high temperature rise in the system when placed under pressure.
So when we were driving locally at @60kph the system operated perfectly well, but when we placed pressure on the system and increased to @80kph it immediately began to overheat and cause a loss in water pressure which the system compensated by increasing the temperature. ...So there you are people another possible diagnosis of fault for freelander (now known as freeloader)"
Kwa upande wangu naona kuweka injini ya Toyota is the best solution kama unataka kukaa na gari kwa mda mrefu.
Now I am researching how to do it right. The 3Y engine in my Pajero is a carburetor engine, so I never dealt with the ECU/control box. But with the Freelander it will be a must and should be impossible. Ningependa kutumia gear box ya Freelander, so I am now researching how to go about it...
