I have lack of compression in my Landrover Freelander?

ive worked with landrover for 4 years freelanders were common with blown head gaskit and blown engines
remove engine oil filler cape and check for roker cover de-laminated gaskit the brown gaskit between the rocker cover and cam caseing normally peels off that will tell u that the engine is cooked not worht doing head gaskit.if ok check timing belt not snapped and go for removal of head.but if all goes well expect another head gaskit very soon.or something or another with these cars .goodluck

With a Freelander the most likely fault is a blown head gasket. When they go, they often take the engine with them.

I am afraid that your best best is to take the car to an Independent Land Rover specialist. They will be cheaper than an 'official' dealer. There won't be a fault that they haven't seen before with the 1.8 K series engine. (It's a pile of ****.)

sounds as if the cambelt has broken,ive known cars to break the belt when people turn the engine off.
