My Freelander came with no tool kit or jack just the plate in the engine bay to attach it to?

Not bothered if its genuine Rover Ect just functional but what do I need to make up a tool kit for it please?

The older freelander the tool kit is under the bonnet. The newer ones it goes in the fishtank. Best chance is a breakers or eBay. Or buy yourself a little trolley jack and a breaker bar with a 21mm (I think) socket on it.
So many times I have had those supplied bars bend on me and those collapsible jacks the car nearly falls off, I like a bit of stability

Managed to get a tool kit for the Freelander but only seems to come with one securing strap what am I missing on the other end where I have used a bungee?

Same rubber strap that came with it. A bungee does just the same job though

If you have locking wheel nuts make sure your have the unlocking socket. If you don't have locking wheel nuts then it's a good idea to get some.

yes I agree too, I don't like the standard jack, I much prefer to carry a trolley jack in my fishtank.....as you call it .......I think my wheel nuts are 22mm ?

Probably that then. Either 21 or 22 it's always the 2nd socket I pick up

I know the feeling, i always use an impact socket, fits nice and snug.

I keep a spider in my fish tank. That way I can help other people too!

It's handy having an octopus for the more difficult jobs.
