What have you done to your Freelander today

Not today but on Friday I stripped out the load space and laid some extra sound deadening CCF which has cut the exhaust sound almost completely.

Also replaced the headunit and separate BT hands free with a headunit that does both.

That will be alright, mine went through worse than that and is still on the road.

Fitted anti roll bar poly bushes and got to know more of the underside of the car, think I need a new inner drive shaft gaiter, there is a line of grease around the engine bay. Oh and took it to the west of Ireland and back and not one hiccup

Towed my caravan for the first time with the ronbox fitted, amazing difference, very pleased

Fitted a Android mirror with a 5" capacative touchscreen, front and rear camera, GPS, ++.

^^^ Oooh, I like that, more gadgets to drool over.

cut full bore isolator valves into the hot & cold supplies, removed the old mixer, fiited new taps with tees taking a supply off the taps to a thermostatic mixer -used the discs out of an old HDD to make nice shiney cover plates where the new taps went in....no...wait...this is what I did to my BATH today :frusty:

Cheers

Well this weekend fitted a new headunit to work with my phone and recharged the air-conditioning, amazing difference ice cold and all my calls and texts plus tunes with no cables

Oh yea then washed it down with some dodo juice so nice and clean for a new week

Also gonna fit a 7" double din Android unit in the center console

Been trying to get those two champagne colored sides wrapped with some dark CF film today. Its very annoying when youre almost there, but the film gets a tear. It have happened to me two times now.

Nice!!!

Love that mirror mate been thinking off one similar does that one have sat nav etc built into it ?

Forever black' the external plastic. Got nearly 2 coats on and felt some spots of rain on my head. It's stopped now but I hope I don't go out later to find a black tide mark around the car...

This one didnt come with any navigation software. Im using Google maps. So not a big problem for me.

Today i have been busy working on the Freelander. After around 4 hours all i have to show for is fitting a hazard switch to the center console. Lets just say im not gonna wrap it with CF

The reason for fitting a hazard switch to the console is im gonna fit the console to a pre-facelift FL1. Its a Saab 9000/9-5 switch.

It got scrapped .... Written off by a prat in a car park ....

That's a ball ache Dangermike, the damage didn't look that bad…

Any plans to buy it off the insurance and get it back on the road?

I didn't think so either! But there was steering damage. Which means automatic write off apparently ....

My insurance don't allow to be bought back, however I just bought this

Well not exactly done anythng to t, but a new to me 55 commercial freelander driven to work for the first tme after collecting last night.
A few issues to deal with, gearbox jumps out of 2nd, so sourcing a replacement box and clutch while I am at it alarm went of last night so been reading this forum as to why looks straight forward.

Now whilst getting clutch changed looking on this forum for advantages to change to a solid flywheel, as have seen converson kits and I am guessing there must be an advantage.

Now looking forward to many hours fixing landy faults

Oh, hey guys! long time no see!
