Which year is your freelander and was it bought in Nigeria?

I will agree that having your fan running constantly is not an ideal practice and I might still revert to the original setup. However, I have never experienced oil and smokes issues due to excessive blow, not even once, in a year.

For some clarity, I did not say I constantly run the car at 41 degrees. I meant the highest temperatures the engine has ever reached is 41 degrees. The weather was unusually hot that day so I will assume that caused it.

My 2004 Freelander uses a 2.5 L Rover KV6 V6 engine which is more better than the 1.8 L K-Series. Improvements was done even though they belong to the K-series. The production facility was re-engineered. Those changes resolved some issues and the KV6 has a positive reputation for reliability.

Like you have also stated, most overheating issues occur in Nigeria due to poor maintenance and use of water as coolant. So I will say the use of radiator coolant has also gone a long way to mitigate the overheating issue.

Also, for KV6 engines, HGF tend to occur MOSTLY in winter as a result of the design of the cooling system - Due to the location of the thermostat, cold coolant is allowed to surge into the block without being mixed with hot coolant first.
Now that there is no serious winter conditions in Nigeria, I will say there is no serious need to really bother about HGF.

I have a 2004 Landrover Freelander. I can say it is a good and durable car. The parts are a little expensive more than the other cars but that is the cost I pay for durability. The parts are more readily available in Lagos compared to other parts of the country. The 2004 series uses an air flow meter so fuel consumption is okay for me in comparison to other SUVs. I use an average of N5000/6000 every week in Lagos because of the heavy traffic. Without heavy traffic, I use an average of N3000 a week. Every car has their own issues and Freelander model is not an exception. Overheating is the problem associated to Freelander series.
I did the following to prevent overheating
1. I told my mechanic to adjust the fan to start working immediately I start the engine.
2. I make sure I check the water level daily or weekly and I use radiator coolant to top the water level.

Since I got the car last year, I have not experienced overheating. The highest temperature so far has been 41 degrees.

Well Good for you.Don't blow any alarm.I say you take ur chances but keep the extras till ur service year is over.If you are not called by the bank(which I seriously doubt) then that will be ur own share of d national cake.My guess is that it is NYSC not d bank.There are a lot of scams going on in NYSC that they hardly notice they pay corper twice.I was paid twice when I applied for my unpaid outstanding allowances on redyployment to Lag from Ogun State.Nothing happened.No gain saying that it might error on d teller or account module of the bank(I work in an IT company that develops banking sofware for banks) but I seriously doubt it - up to you!

Enough of opinions.We need action.What are the so called NANS executives doing if they cannot mobilize pple to march to the Senate and get the media to broadcast our grieviances?We need to act fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree completely with you.I think NYSC should should give Nigerian graduates their discharge cert if they know they cant fund them for service.Right now most pple dont know what they are up to.Spread the news!!! Lets try and stop this their madness by whatever means necessary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
