    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I don't get the mondo comment - mine handles just fine in mondo and the only mod is the 235/17's. Mind you, when I removed the lift kit, I had the 4 wheel alignment done to perfection but other than that just the wider tyres.

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Lifted, minus pins - fooking deathly to drive was my experience. Chronic under steer:(

    Can you get stronger stretch bolts or perhaps just normal bolts that you do up to 5000 nm??

    Freelanders are rubbish

    A considered opinion after 5 years of ownership. Well, FL1's are not rubbish, that's for sure. LR sold hundreds of thousands of them around the world. Was it rushed into production, yes, was the K series engine a poor choice in this application, yes, is the IRD/VCU set up all a bit snake oil...

    HDC not working, any thoughts?

    Mines the same. Unless you go off road you will never need it! Even then its does not control your speed down to a slow nuf speed to be much use;)

    BMW M3 Coupe SMG - Sat Nav / Glass Sunroof from James Paul, Nr Horsham, West Sussex and Surrey, Quality Used BMWs 338bhp. nuf said. Mind you 180 must be a hoot, especially compared to a Freelander!!

    Ah, now, the M3 is a blinding car by any measure - maybe a bit too hot for me. I fancy a very clean 328/330 with full service and a warranty and they are available. as said missed one last week. 80k 2 owners, full service history, leather, years warranty and from a BMW specialist with a great...

    I stand by that - but, and this is a bit mid life crisis, I do fancy something flash and fast now I can do the Saga insurance. Mine, wifey and my Brothers experience of German cars is all good. He has a poorly maintained (by his own admission) V6 Audi that still goes like clappers and a mate has...

    I guess the 9 owners thing was a clue but then hind site is perfect. I wonder why mine has been ok - perhaps best not to question too much:)

    Head bolt re-torque

    Nice idea, but I'm never gonna do anything like that. Maybe a project for Will and DD to look at. I'm dead set now on a Bavarian 6 pot as my next motor. Perhaps come back to a later Disco along the road!:)
