What have you done to your Freelander today

Looks very tidy
Good MOT history too

Have a good rummage through the history and give it a good service. There are some things that, at that age, would need doing if not already done, but for now just enjoy it.

Thank you, yes, my thoughts exactly. Recently moved to countryside, so normal transport (motorbikes) just will not work on the farm tracks and unclassified roads I need to use to reach stable tarmac, never mind gritted. Thus I needed a 4wd. I know Disocs / Defenders very well (should never got rid of my 1985 110 V8), but they have skyrocketed in price. This came up, right price, right location, right time, enough to get sorted for winter.

In priority order as budget permits…..

Timing belt & water pump, Haldex service, remove swirl flaps, bushes, winter weather protection, new battery, new Xtrons head unit with CarPlay integrated dash cam reverse cam and DAB, many farkles from Powerful Ltd…

Only been recently researching, god help the credit card….!

If it were me, I’d change the oil in the gearbox, PTU and rear diff too, just for peace of mind.
And get a really good battery.

Looks like a twin of my 2010.

I've had mine 15 months and its been fine. No issues.

Loaned mine to my daughter today. She enjoyed driving it and brought it back unscathed.

Fixed the HDC (thanks for your recent pic' postings @andyfreelandy - super helpful) and am now ready for my first big trip this year. Dodgy connector!! This will fix other wet weather problems seen via pscan and showing up in the display. I expect to cover 2500 miles in the next week from France to Belgium/Germany/Netherlands and back. Pscan is coming along too, just in case...

She doesn't look so bad at 320,000 km. The new clutch and drive line bearings have transformed my hippo and I shall keep her a few more years I think. Next jobs are to replace the air system pipes (EGR elbow burst last week and I can see some wear marks that inevitably will split in the next 6 months) and then do the headlining. At least I won't have to work in this field soon, due to get my workshop back in June

Thanks to all in recent months who offered commentary to my postings that allowed me to get back to full reliability (hippo style)
