Ride height,

Hello All,
I know several different threads have been started about this subject,
but I was wondering if a few would be so kind as to measure the ride height
as in the picture below and post their findings..



I have read many items about ground clearance but this is subject to tyre inflation and other factors needing to be taken into account, from the measuring points shown, the only factor is the weight in the Freelander at time of measuring,,

Might be good to get a record of the following;

3 door Freelander 1 (1997 - 2000)
Petrol 1.8
