is there another one?

Ask and you shall receive

Thanks for the advice on the Cooper's Thor, seem really good, although noisier above 50mph but i expected that!

Even gave it a wash to celebrate...

Finally got round to fitting the eggsauce stabiliser bar thingy that I fashioned from a piece of flat bar

I couldn't help but notice that there is no heat shield around the prop CV joint, should there be?

i just replaced the downpipe and it didn't come with one!

the old one had one, but fell off and jammed betwix the eggsauce and undertray making a loud rattle.

A couple more jobs and one I couldnt manage..

New Red Silicone Hoses all round..




A Bit of a clean up under the bonnet,,


Begining to look how she should now,,




The Job I couldn't do was to undo the old Tow Bar,,
WOW!! that's done up tight..any ideas on how to get it undone??



Got some new bits to go on in its place,,but it wont budge..

looks nice and clean Indi good job

Get it on axle stands to give some height and get a breaker bar on it, the extra leverage will help!

What did you do with the section on one of the intake pieces on the left hand side that has the wire going in to it? I cut my new silicone hoses to suit keeping it, but you've just got a straight hose with nowt in the middle...?!

Mine has no sensor so only need as is,
no cutting or spaces required..
is that what you mean??

I've got an aluminium heat shield that wraps around the front Prop CV joint, this is bolted onto the IRD using the same stud your new bracket is fitted to, presumably to stop the exhaust cooking the grease in the joint.

Yeah thats what i meant, mine has the sensor, wondering if i shouldve removed it...

No!!!!
I think if its there it needs to stay, mine was never there..
well not during my ownership anyhow..

Been Playing again,,

Replaced broken passengers side vent,
Replaced old Tax disc holder with smart black one,


Went to the tip 3 times to clear garden mess

Put Black Land Rover badges on, including the Freelander badge..



Went to local Garage to get nuts cracked,,
then I changed the old tow bar for a new one
Old One;

New one;



All finished for today...

Thats big & shiny! on monday you can fit your spacers

I told the wife today and she agrees its a good idea..

Phew!!!
That's one lot of explaining I wont have to do.

Once I have them fitted I will just wait till something goes wrong
to spend some time on it,,
the Freelander is as we want it now..

Off roading is the next thing to convince the wife we should do..
Well some light green laning anyway..
