Right a 1.4 petrol ,well this is not a problem once a basic method is used ,now all these modern cars do not have a keyway on the crankshaft so to save money on a kit for nearly every different version then i go back to basics so to speak .Now what i do is to drill 10mm hole through the bell housing in line with the starter ring gear from underneath where i have the access to manipulate the drill ,then i tap the thread and use a longish bolt with the end ground to a point then i screw this in till it touches the ringear and then a nip .This has now locked the crankshaft up so then the front pulley can be undone because as no keyway on the belt drive gear as soon as you try to undo the bolt the crank can turn and the valves hit the piston,but with the crank locked up no sweat, then a dab of white paint on the pulleys to the head and its safe to slacken the adjuster and change the belt .When tightening the lower crank pulley make sure you have somewhere around 120lbs torque because if that isnt tight enough then what happens is a nice motorway run and it allows the bottom gear to move a bit and crunch .Right a 1.4 petrol ,well this is not a problem once a basic method is used ,now all these modern cars do not have a keyway on the crankshaft so to save money on a kit for nearly every different version then i go back to basics so to speak .Now what i do is to drill 10mm hole through the bell housing in line with the starter ring gear from underneath where i have the access to manipulate the drill ,then i tap the thread and use a longish bolt with the end ground to a point then i screw this in till it touches the ringear and then a nip .This has now locked the crankshaft up so then the front pulley can be undone because as no keyway on the belt drive gear as soon as you try to undo the bolt the crank can turn and the valves hit the piston,but with the crank locked up no sweat, then a dab of white paint on the pulleys to the head and its safe to slacken the adjuster and change the belt .When tightening the lower crank pulley make sure you have somewhere around 120lbs torque because if that isnt tight enough then what happens is a nice motorway run and it allows the bottom gear to move a bit and crunch .

Thanks Again, i do have another question for you. I installed an aftermarket horn &i'm having problems with the wiring. It is a Fiamm double Trumpet, I know how to wire up the relay, I have connected everything to where its supposed to go except the negative terminals on the horns themselves as the factory horn did not have a ground wire, I assumed the Fiamms would also ground to the Chassis. When I only put the ignition on they blow fine but cut out intermittently when I start the car they sound completely weird lol. i have tried connecting the -terminal of the horn to the body but then it just stays on. what am i doing wrong?Thanks Again, i do have another question for you.

sorry about delay but only just had your reply posted to me ,now this horn thingy and please remember its early in the morning here at moment as i have a job to do where i need to pick up a car this morning but from your description it sounds like the voltage is rising too high causing the horns to have a higher pitch ,check the voltage across the battery as someone brings the engine up to 2500 rpm if its 15v then this is your problem .Been working and driving these newer 3 cylinder models --not impressed as no low rpm torque ok if you rev the proverbials off of it but not in the same league as a four cylinder i thinksorry about delay but only just had your reply posted to me ,now this horn thingy and please remember its early in the morning here at moment as i have a job to do where i need to pick up a car this morning but from your description it sounds like the voltage is rising too high causing the horns to have a higher pitch ,check the voltage across the battery as someone brings the engine up to 2500 rpm if its 15v then this is your problem .Been working and driving these newer 3 cylinder models --not impressed as no low rpm torque ok if you rev the proverbials off of it but not in the same league as a four cylinder i think
Thanks Colin will pull the voltmeter out. So you dont think its a grounding problem? and no worries bout the delay. yeah you right test drove a bluemotion Polo a 3cylinder and wasnt impressed. i am very happy with my VtroublU Mk1 which i think is 124nm @ 4400rpm(i stand to be corrected)Thanks Colin will pull the voltmeter out.

cannot find the original question with the bit about the relays in ,had me dreaming about this last night and thats bad when you dream about car questions and not a decent **** or two.Want a good laugh ? you know how i go on about cars with no keyway on the crank pulley ?' well done a newish renault kangoo diesel yesterday and guess what ? it had timing marks on the gears and a keyway on the pulley and a adjustable cam pulley via the spokes to allow for the tension movement when tensioning ,i was flabbergasted perhaps someone at renault reads the questions i answer and they may even bless me with a renault thats rewads with my OBDII reader miracles will never cease .cannot find the original question with the bit about the relays in ,had me dreaming about this last night and thats bad when you dream about car questions and not a decent **** or two.Want a good laugh ? you know how i go on about cars with no keyway on the crank pulley ?' well done a newish renault kangoo diesel yesterday and guess what ? it had timing marks on the gears and a keyway on the pulley and a adjustable cam pulley via the spokes to allow for the tension movement when tensioning ,i was flabbergasted perhaps someone at renault reads the questions i answer and they may even bless me with a renault thats rewads with my OBDII reader miracles will never cease .
no dennis iam older than you ,i remember rod and cable brakes ,side valve engines and worst of all cars with no heaters .Not forgetting them awful wiper motors driven by the vacumn from the manifold ,go downhill with foot off the throttle and they went so fast the wiper blades could and often did fly off ,then going uphill they were so slow you couldnt see in heavy rain .no dennis iam older than you ,i remember rod and cable brakes ,side valve engines and worst of all cars with no heaters .Not forgetting them awful wiper motors driven by the vacumn from the manifold ,go downhill with foot off the throttle and they went so fast the wiper blades could and often did fly off ,then going uphill they were so slow you couldnt see in heavy rain .
ji Dennis i saw yoy listef as a Ford expert amd hope you can help please look at my question or else this next sentence won't make any sense. we checkd the switch and its getting fuel pressure. ee think timing chain slipped when i lost oil pressure. the car went one block then died. i didn't know i sliced through oil filter. mobile mechanic says half the engine isnt getting compression auto shop said unless i want to spend 2000 fixing it i would Junk it without even looking at it i don't want to junk it if its just a timing chain dont think i drove far enough to damage engine. forgive me im just the wife my hubby explaind it bji Dennis i saw yoy listef as a Ford expert amd hope you can help please look at my question or else this next sentence won't make any sense. we checkd the switch and its getting fuel pressure. ee think timing chain slipped when i lost oil pressure. the car went one block then died. i didn't know i sliced through oil filter. mobile mechanic says half the engine isnt getting compression auto shop said unless i want to spend 2000 fixing it i would Junk it without even looking at it i don't want to junk it if its just a timing chain dont think i drove far enough to damage engine. forgive me im just the wife my hubby explaind it b

The following is instructions for replacing the timing (or camshaft) belt on the 1.8i petrol engine, as fitted to a Freelander. This is the K-series ... With the timing set, thecam sprocket marks should look like this. Posted Image
It is recommended that a timing belt should be change every 100,000km. Honda's and Acura's especially. Whenever the water pump is changed, it is also wise to change the timing belt too as it is all in one spot, and VS. In some cars, [Acura's], when the timing belt breaks, it also can tear your valves in your engine apart, so I hope that this answers your question
It is personal taste. Some places recommend that timing CHAINS be replaced every 90K-100K, but others drive until there is some change in their engine performance that would indicate the timing chain and then change it. Since you have the timing chain and not the timing belt it is up to you.
Generally, I will replace timing chains IF I have to pull my engine out of the car for any reason, but won't change it at set intervals.
If you change the timing belt it is reccomended to also change the tensioner and idler pulleys as well, depending on the mileage. You can change just the belt but it is a little risky, considering you can't actively see what's going on in there. If your timing belt slips on that engine, There's a good chance of doing major damage.
You don't have too, but not bad idea, the timing belt drives the water pump, if you just replace timing belt, and not water pump, water pump could go out and mess up the timing belt, now it has to be done all over again, timing belt, water pump and labor.
Do not change the timing chain until its loosened / stretched to the limit. You should check & replace the engine oil and gear oil(if separate). Also get the air filter & engine oil filter replaced. See if the tyres are worn out otherwise exchange the tyres diagonally. A good servicing including greasing should be enough...................sodeep
car wont start could be many things.your timing belt change is due at 60000 miles.if you at a 100000 miles and not change it.you timing belt have a tensioner that keep it tight. .when it wears it loses tension and cause timing belt to slip time.i would check fuel system and ignition system for spark first before having.timing belt change. its going to cost you.
On what?
