We have just bought our first Land Rover, an '08 Freelander TD4 HST. Thanks for letting me on the forum.

Hello and welcome
Any big plans for it?
Lift? Snorkel? 31" tyres?
First things first.......Cam belt, water pump, idler and tensioner.
Snorkels and 31" tyres wont compensate for bent valves, holed pistons and possibly bent conrods even on a Land Rover!

Welcome!
Don't forget, a 4" lift on your snorkel, a 'one life live it' sticker set, oversized winch and the biggest rock crawler tyres you can fit, will make you a much better offroad driver Don't forget the chequer plate!
Sounds like you're one of them sensible ones

Looks like they parked it there then took a photo as they emptied a tank of water into culvet. Or river has stopped running in background dried up suddenly after 50yrds

oh... dear..
I'd rather have the landy behind it!
Funny. No, really.
I like it how they tell you what gear to use. Apparently just 'D' in the Freelander.
That Defender didn't rock my world, though.
