i pick my freelander 04 sport premium in black up in the morning!
Good for you wrasse69 - I hope you enjoy it and drive many happy miles in it.
Enough of the doomsayers - always look on the bright side.
I'm looking forward to your future posts saying how wonderful it is.

ENJOY IT, I do mine.....
Enjoy! (Oh and invest in a decent socket set!) you will be getting spanner rash in the not too distant future. (I've started to enjoy fannying about with mine) there are some 'essential' mods that need doing to 'unstrangle'(not even a word I know) ie: egr blank and bmw crankcase breather to name just two.
:welcome: does it have the props and a VCU?
if it does - then test it.

Congratulations and enjoy.... keep a check on those 17" wellies tho, not cheap.
Hope you enjoy the new motor, got the same one but in silver. Its really worth doing all the mods you'll read about on this forum, EGR bypass, silicone hoses, BMW crankcase breather etc but best of all is install a Synergy2a, all those combined makes it a much better car in my opinion.

Well done friend and welcome to Freelander ownership . Just make sure that the transmission is all tickety-boo as MHM said and everything'll be just dandy .
I'm driving back from holiday tomorrow and mine (also '04, but 1.8) has been a complete joy all week. Looks like all that work I've done on it has really paid off, it's a real honey now.
Enjoy it!
Oh and if you're in southish Yorks, looks like a few of us on the forum are in that general area so if you want to do some laning if and when we go, just give us a shout!

errrr...that'll be 18's he's got not 17's!
enjoy it, do all the mods and it will serve you well buddy.
as madhatman said earlier... BEFORE you drive it away, get on your back and get underneath and make sure that the VCU and propshaft are there. there are people on here who have bought cars only to find out later that they are missing. tis an easy way of disguising VCU/diff/IRD problems that can be very expensive to fix....

I'm in central Nottingham until I can remedy it. Well I often go up Sheffield way to fly model gliders, but it's not far if you're in Doncaster. In fact the green lanes in the peaks should be about mid way between us. But me, Diesel Do and I think Freelaner and some others are in the general area .

yip i'm nearby
where do you fly Will?
Callow bank near Hathersage. Not many club members fly in winter but I got myself winter flying gear last year so maybe I can catch some good westerly breezes over this winter
