Brilliant, just the sort of photos I'm after. I assume that's your build? It looks like it's mounted to the original chassis rails using 4 mounting bolts each side?

Thanks for that, I suspected it would be the case. Seeing what steel we have available before coming up with some ideas.

Thanks for all the info. This picture appears to show the back of the bar, with the feet removed. It looks like although they're attached to the rail with 4/6 bolts, the bar is only attached with one bolt or stud. Looking like it might be easier to fabricate something like in the thread you...

Yeah that looks similar to what I've seen on Google. Do you still have the bumper stripped down like that or is it an old photo?

Afternoon all, I've got a small ATV winch I intend to discreetly mount on the front of my Td4, inside the standard bumper. Its only max. pull of just over 1100kg so nothing crazy, but it's available at no cost and will still provide some pulling power should I need it. I'm interested to know a...

Hello, interested in the dog guard if you could get some photos to me. I'm in Fareham but work in Poole so collection isn't an issue.

Driven it!

Tyre 1: 7mm tread DoM: 22/2016 Tyre 2: 6mm tread DoM: 16/2015

Afternoon all, I've just changed the tyres on my Freelander so have 2 of the above tyres up for grabs. They were fitted approx. 10k miles ago but still lots of tread left. Not got the vehicle with me right now, but will measure and get some photos tomorrow. Along with DoM etc. The tyres can be...

Got recovered twice yesterday, nfs wheel station was pouring smoke and brakes clearly stuck on. 1st recovery back to the workshop, stripped and regresed the sliders. Small test drive and all was well. 30 mins from work and it does it again, this time with a knocking. I figure the first time had...

Afternoon all, The rubber seal inside my brake fluid cap is missing and looks like I'm getting a bit of brake fluid leaking out. It is a Land Rover only part or is it common amongst other vehicles? I imagine it's easier to source a new cap with seal than just the seal on it's own?

Which speakers did you go with Rich?

I've just had to replace VCU bearings but there wasn't really any noticeable noise when turning the prop by hand or giving it a knock. Easiest way to check if you can is just whip the prop and VCU off as one and take it for a drive. That way you're eliminating VCU bearings and the UJs. When I...

Yesterday saw me take the Freelander into work to use the ramps and get a couple of jobs done before driving home for Christmas. I had another bearing noise, this time coming strongly from the gearstick hole. I had another spare rear wheel bearing just in case but though it would be best to...

The window on mine sometimes tries to close against the jam/seal rather than sitting behind it. To avoid it I usually close the door with gentle pressure on the window so it sits properly. I guess it's possible yours did the same and the motor kept pressure on the window, forcing it up against...

Fitted the inline thermostat mod quickly after work before heading home. Mine had failed open so at best the needle got to 1/3 warm and I really noticed it this morning trying to warm the cab up! Id also like to think itll help the fuel economy. I didn't take the inlet manifold off but managed...

Thanks, that's the conclusion I'd came to and the one I had feared. Looks like the hub will have to come off again.

So checking my last MOT, my VIN is xxxx74A4xxx, so it looks to me like I've messed up! I purchased the bearing for the earlier VINs, which I'm assuming don't have the magnetic part of the sensor?

Morning all, I've had a drone that's gotten progressively worse over the last few weeks, I narrowed it down to n/s rear wheel bearing. Bearing purchased by reg from ECP (top link): https://www.eurocarparts.com/wheel-bearing-and-wheel-hub, however I didn't check it against VIN. I noticed they...

From what I've read pre facelift have the keys coded to the ECU but after 2003 it's not the case. However I'm new to the freelander scene, have only had it 2 weeks. Either way, I had no original fob anyway, so it's not a drama for me. Now you mention it, a message did pop up about old fobs...
