Hi all, it’s been quite a while since I posted any questions on this forum, just re-set my pass word and it looks like I joined owning a freelander , and I was just thinking 🤔 how much money I could of saved if I hadn’t gone down the Defender route!!!!! Anyway 2x Pumas, a 90 and then a 110, and now a TD5 !
The TD5 is a 2006 XS and I’ve changed the front shocks and springs, turrets , all looks nice and shiny, the springs are standard, couldn’t decide wether to drop -1” but went for standard. The new springs were slightly taller and now the vehicle is sitting slightly raised at the front. Have the old springs sagged 🤔 , how long do springs take to settle? I intend to replace the rear springs, will the vehicle sit level and what height should a standard TD5 be from the floor unladen?
 
Hi, sorry, am I not in the Defender site only I can’t sign in with my Email because it’s already been used here?? Is this the Freelander section 🫤
 
Hi, desperately need help with taking the dreaded ABS pump off the TD5, no videos on Utube or anywhere??? . Really need to know what I’m up against also is it worth taking the wing off because I’ve a broken wire to the drivers side courtesy light, can this be sorted if I take the wing off, thanks Mart.

Hours to settle, if you went for HD springs they will be higher, my 200 was when I swapped it, most annoying it looked like it had been lifted when it hadnt.
 
Thanks for that , I’ve checked the standard measurements and it’s spot on , maybe the old springs had sagged🤔
