    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 Snorkel - Found one!

    Sorry for the late reply. I deleted the guy's details a good while ago as I had no intention of contacting him again. To be totally honest, what you get from him isn't the best. It's made of fibreglass and has various fit issues.The elbows and "vacuum cleaner" pipe just don't seem to fit at all...

    Looking at purchasing a 2008 Freelander 2

    First thing I do before every car purchase - check the old MOT's on the DVLA website. This gives an indicator as to how the vehicle has been treated. Lots of fails for stupid things like insufficient washer fluid, or indicators not working, headlight beam etc are no biggy. Things that should...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Freelander 2 Snorkel - Found one!

    Certain areas were cut out, straightened up, reduced or whatever needed to be done. Then just lots of filling and sanding using carbon fibre filler to add strength, followed by several layers of high build primer and finally a few coats of satin black. It took a while as I found that when one...

    Tyre Sizes

    Very old pic of my V6 in it's first incarnation with 205/80/16 Bronco Diamondbacks. I had 30mm spacers and I can tell you that the fronts rubbed the rear of the inner arches on full lock . Other people has said that 205/80/16's do not rub. Maybe it was the aggressive tread pattern which was very...

    Freelander 1 Driveshaft ABS ring.

    Can't be used as it will show an ABS error as it's incorrect for a later vehicle. Although will physically fit once the ring is removed, you may experience ABS problems so not worth messing with. I still have the new driveshaft complete with ring - FREE to collector if anyone wants it .

    Freelander 2 (LR2) What mileage is your Freelander 2 on?

    133,000 when bought last year. Now this may have put others off buying the vehicle - being a petrol i6. However I read the entire advert which showed that at 114,000 Land Rover fitted a brand new engine and drivetrain to the vehicle. I ended up with a real bargain. All the trouble areas people...

    Freelander 1 Changing bodywork colour

    F1 parts are cheap enough now. I would suggest you source as many parts as you can in the desired colour of choice,doors, bonnet, wings , bumpers ,tailgate,preferably off of the same vehicle to avoid mis-matching shades then you only have to paint what's left of the car. You then have what you...

It had passed the MOT but with an advisory on the gearbox due to a leaky bearing . Garage sorted this apparently.However since then it had a nasty shake...
