Thanks for the posts above. I do always chock the wheels and placing a tyre if removed under as a precaution is something I do also. The reason I asked for thoughts on this were there seems to be a vast array of trolley jacks and only some seem to mention high lift/suitable for 4x4 etc...

After my previous thread about socket sets and the helpful responses I received I thought I would ask about trolley jacks and axle stands. I used the supplied jack in the kit to lift my FL up to do the wheel up test last weekend and have decided after using it the once I would like a trolley...

Sorry I never got around to posting a photograph. I ended up getting a selection of clips off eBay and one fitted well . Thanks for the contributions.

Here's a couple of questions for you all. When you change over a set of wheels/tyres for summer/winter how do you go about home storing your non fitted wheels and tyres. The question is a simple as are they ok stacked on their side ? are they in a rack? Thanks Dave

I've been looking for a torque wrench also but what size covers the most often used settings on my fl1 td4 ?? I have searched the forum and noted not everyone needs/wants/uses one but I just thought for a newbie like myself it might be a useful thing to have. I note the ranges are either...

Just to thank everyone who contributed on the thread I ended up getting the 170 piece set all in all it all seems a decent buy. Dave

Ah sorry I missed that I'm in the north east. I will try and get a picture in daylight.

Thanks for all the continuing comments. I'll call after work and get myself a set. Dave

Sorry "which way" are you referring to. I'm a little confused (nothing new there).

Cheers I think they are at their "half prices" now

Thanks for the replies, it appears that they are still a decent choice for the cash. dave

Evening all, after spending too much time today searching my garage and home for various spanners and sockets, I have decided my bits and pieces aren't worth a crap. Having searched the forum and seeing posts from quite recently stating that the various socket and spanner sets Halfords sell...

I didn't take your idea as being condescending at all. I am genuinely grateful for you taking the time to offer an opinion. Sorry if I gave that impression. Dave

Thanks for the thought

Thanks that's a good point. Dave

Thanks for posting the picture it helps to visualize things. Dave

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has the light kit from the link below NEW Genuine Land Rover freelander 1 facelift front bumper spot/driving light kit# fitted to their Freelander and whether it was any good?, are the lights of reasonable quality etc. I don't fancy fitting a nudge/bull...

I have recently got a 56 plate fl1, a 5dr adventurer station wagon td4 facelift version. I would like to get some side steps probably the black tubular type for it but which type of fitting options are the easiest/best to fit. I have seen quite a few on eBay and there seems to be various...
