What have you done to your Freelander today

[DaddyCoolJordan]

I'm still trying to find one, need that immediate connection with the one haha

 

[griff2]

does anyone have a diagram of where each of these bushes fit? i dont want to try fitting wrong bush in wrong place and damaging the new bushes before i realize

Left work to find me nearside front tyre VERY flat.
Broke open the spare cover (cos I don't have the key!) to find a bald spare.
Called the AA, AA guy arrived and inflated the flat - no obvious damage and it was fine all 36 miles home, still fully inflated now.
Didn't I feel a bit stoopid!

Spent a happy hour lying on my back changed the anti roll bar bushes
and wired the exhaust up as all the original hangers have rotted away although the pipe is sound???

just with ideas

dash command on a nexus 7, just need see about a mount

Nice looking setup there.

I'd consider some custom work on the front centre of the cup holder to affix a dash mount for a Nexus 7.
(In the photo you posted, look at the little triangle emblem/sign), I'd place my mount there.

See the following video for how it might look (not how it would mount).

I reckon it's do-able how you'd like it by simply overcoming the physical problem of a firm mount, not using a suction cup (will come off in very hot/cold weather).
Pull the Freelander cup holder out, and see if you can get a mount that you can bolt/screw the cup holder top face to and fix underneath with some nuts.

Another more extravagant idea would be to have some kind of motorized mount that folds the screen flat (Screen of Nexus 7 facing top of dashboard) and when the ignition is switched on, the screen folds upwards into view. Now that would be a big ask, but would reduce theft maybe as people might well see a big LCD screen on your dashboard, see it's a Tablet and try and steal it (If it's hard mounted).
E.g. adapt a universal car mount with 'claws' (such as the type that go on the back of headrests), chop it up and see if you can fix this to a 12v motorized metal panel that simply lifts up 90 degrees.

Better still, see if anyone knows if there is room under the top of the dashboard to cut a slot, and try and adapt a 'pop out' TV from used car parts, like a specced up Volvo S80 SE. I doubt there's room inside the dash though for the tablet to get down more than a few inches.

thanks for the ideas. I am still playing with this so its not a soon thing. I have other jobs that need doing first. but the more I think it over the better the end job will be
