Hi Mister P, and welcome to our world.
As you can see, your question has created other questions in response. Chiefly 'Why?'
Between us the regular posters on here must have travelled many hundreds of thousands of miles in our Freelanders both on and well off-road, so we are all wondering what scenario you have discovered where the addition of a low ratio facility would help in any way.
Singvogel.

Reet then, let's get stuck in.
Freelander clutch is crap and I tow boats up slipways and the smell of frying plates is now boring.
To get the bugger to move properly you need to be crawling at 5mph on idle which I find too fast to get purchase on mud whilst towing or hauling from a standstill up an incline.
I hate Discos.
Freelanders are the right weight just miss one gear below first.......a "crawler gear" if you will.
Also F/L's were supplied with tyres which had an incorrect outer circumference causing too low gearing, misreading of speed and a "wheel-lost-in-the-arch" look. This was compounded by the then fashion for low profiles. In this case wrong profiles.
Anyway.......I like my td4 and use it for all it's worth.......I would like it with a lower gear option, which it needs. Autos address this problem to an extent by masking it.
If you want a Disco then get one, I don't. I just want a lower ratio.
