My Freelander TD4

[JC600]

Hmm I shall have to have a go! I'll be there in October for a week! We normally stay in hawes, always wanted to try the lanes but if I manage to break something then I can't get home....

There's some nice lanes there that are very easy, but still have fantastic views.

[Dangermike]

There Walker elastomer (poly) from Eurocarparts. £2.93 for the pair. Same size as standard. Don't need my box any higher, as its a custom made small box. So plenty of clearance off road.

Done some work on the Hippo today.
Fitted new LHS, RHS, & centre diff mounts as mine were creaking.....so would soon fail.



And fitted.





Cleaned and checked rear brake shoes, front brake pads and disc's. Copper slipped back of wheels, re-torqued. And sprayed all rubber boots, bushes etc underneath with silicone spray.

HID's are illegal without headlamp leveling and wipers, the new MOT may well fail them when it's fully implemented.
anyone who cannot see with the normal lights shouldn't be allowed out at night IMO.
