    Freelander 1 Winch bracket

    Haven't been able to do much recently with this little project but have got a couple of powder coated ones and a few bare metal ones left, PM me for details & prices, won't be having any more made so its your last chance to get an "original". They are only suitable for TD4's.

    Help please is my engine destroyed?

    I would check your PCV valve isn't stuck, it should be open at low loads & close off when the induction pressure exceeds the crankcase pressure, if its stuck closed you will have problems at idle / low loads, if its stuck open you will have problems when the boost pressure increases. Also check...

    Loads of peeps will tell you what a Hippo can't do & what you musn't do but most of them have never driven one off road, I would recommend larger AT tyres & a 2" lift, some underbody protection at least a sump guard & go & embarass your friends in their Disco's, lol ;), I've snatch recovered a...

    diesel cooler on L series

    Freelander 1 Winch Bracket

    No its designed around the Warrior winch, the only other short drum winch I know of weighs about 13 Kilos more than the warrior, believe me it is very important to keep to the weight down when its this far forward of the front axle line & above the hub centres. Its a Freelander not a Defender lol

    hi steer kit for lifted trucks, something in the pipeline

    My advice is stick with it, think about your design carefully, make a prototype & test it thoroughly & if you are absolutely sure its fit for purpose & you get enough interest have a batch made & sell them. Don't need to tell you what the consequences of a failure of this part would be. Be...
