The Treks came off my 2003 Serengeti so should fit your Freelander ok.

I've got a set of 16" 5 spokes with Goodyear Wrangler HP 215/65 tyres, also got a set of 17" Trek wheels which have tyres that are close to needing changed.

Correct size is 215/65 16 - I've got a set sitting here which I'm thinking about selling now as I changed to 205/80 16 on my 5dr.

I got between 42 and 45 miles per £10 in both of my 1.8 Freelanders, roughly 26 mpg on average :(

Coils/coil packs have a habit of failing/overheating when at the end of their useful life. If the car won't start, I would be looking more towards the fuel pump as yours should have 2 seperate coil packs so theoretically the car should still try to start on 2 cylinders if one of the coils is broken.

Mine has a bit of corrosion appearing but not sure I want it painted all shiny on my 2003 truck, lol. Mine is attached with P clips, although most are needing replaced now so looking into stainless/galvanised alternatives.

I think the problem is the interval for changing them is so big, people forget to do it. Changed mine a while back and it definately made a difference. It's worth paying the extra and getting the correct platinum spec plugs as well, despite the premium in the price.

It's still for sale, but I'm not pushing it as I know it'll be difficult to replace in the future if necessary...

Might sell my SD rack for a good offer...

Put off freeing off the handbrake on my 3dr to go and collect an engine for my MGB :banana::banana::banana:

Whereabouts are you?

Both of my Freelanders suffer from misty windscreens, it's like the old days when I ran Mini's...

Didn't know Freelander 1's had Isofix mounts?

My 3dr is exactly the same, already replaced the master/slave cylinder assembly but it made no difference - next thing to change for me is the slave cylinder mounting bracket.

I've been running my 3dr in 2wd for the last 2 weeks as the VCU had tightened up and the bearings had failed and it's not something I would be doing again unless the height of summer. The greasy roads made it wheelspin easily from junctions and it definately didn't inspire any confidence driving...
