    What have you done to your Freelander today

    So I have to say how pleased I am with the resulting visit to Gemm 4x4 this morning. They fitted me in at short notice and were true to their word. £20 to remove the propshaft and more importantly some valuable info on what I need to do underneath the car. It turns out the IRD could be the...

    Newbie

    Hi everyone. I have just inherited a Freelander 1 Td4 from my brother in law as it was going for buttons as a trade in. Browsed other sites but this seems a friendly one. I have never owned one or had a 4x4 before so please be easy on me if what I ask seems simple as I probably am. :) My main...
