Hi guys just a quick update,I managed to get a used handle from local scrap yard that came with the bolts and nuts still attached for £15. Fitted it first time and now it works a treat. Only minor issue is that the new one had the land rover badge missing so i managed to get the one off my old...

Ok great thanks for that hack as i say i will post my results.

Ok so the handle works fine opening and closing? I have just ordered a tube of the stuff so will follow you’re instructions of applying the sealant and post my results. Thanks again Rank Amature.

Does this stuff really work? I have an MOT due next week so need to either pay up or rough fix it to get it through the mot.

Hi guys,Just phoned up to have the handle replaced after being quoted £140-£150 ish back in February only for them to say that since April the price has rocketed due to a backlog at Land Rover so the quote is now £240+ VAT

There is a garage near me been there before called LandyMan he is brilliant and he has said he can put a new one on for around £120.

Thanks for the reply Nodge68, So is replacing with a new handle the only option? I dont mind replacing even with a new one but if i could keep the cost down by doing the labour myself would help. It is the plastic housing that has snapped aswell leaving the bolts in the door panel. In lamens...

Hi guys,Can anyone tell me what size length and width in mm are the captive screws that hold the handle on and is there anywhere that sells them or is there an alternative as the ones on mine have snapped due to rust.

Does anyone know how much a lift conversion would cost on the freelander? Also what kind of wheel/Tyre sizes would this then allow to be fitted? Thanks guys.

Ok that might actually work lol.Is the tyre paint robust or do you keep having to do it like every week ? Also has anyone ever heard of a set of Mickey Thompson classic iii alloys going on a freelander. I know these are American wheels but they are sold here in the uk.

I totally understand that it’s just i am more of a stick man drawer So have the feeling it would look rediculous like a child has drawn on the tyres if i tried to do it myself with a paint pen Does anyone know of any mud tyres with white writing that would fit without any modifications to the...

That just seems like a cheapskate way of getting white lettered tyres . Like getting a plain t shirt and drawing a tick on and writing the word Nike underneath

I know it sounds petty but the tyres with the white writing do look a little more stylish and if i paying £450+ for tyres then i would like ones that look as good as they perform. I can only see mud tyres that start at a size that is too large for standard Freelander rims.

Is there a tyre with white writing on the side that will fit 17” rims with the exception of Bf Goodrichs ? Looked at ; Bridgestone Dueler Cooper Discoverer STT Bf Goodrich All Terrain Maxxis Bighorn M/T I Know most if not all of these are mud tyres but do any manufacturer start a size that...
