Superb

Sport = high spec interior, stiffer & lower suspension, different wheels, zero performance difference & costs about £2k more than standard model. Go for a higher specced standard car as the suspension is good on them with slightly higher ground clearance which'll help in really deep snow &...

Yeah, they do a superb job of letting us have a large amount of freedom yet clamping down on spammers in a unique & amusing way so count yourself lucky.

Calm those jets there Isy lad. They're trying to tell you not to buy the V6 because of the reliability. They're also trying to say do a search on the forum & you'll find lots of relevant info. about these engines. If you're really stupid, you'll go off in a huff & miss out on a good opportunity...

You can use 6mm spacers, some people have used 5mm but it's very tight with 5mm. Even with the 6mm ones you will still have a very small amount of the hub spigot protruding to centre the wheel on the hub but 6mm is as thick as you want to go. You'll will also need the same 6mm spacers for the...

I used Powerflex for my old BMW recently & they were well made & easy to fit. Also the subframe ones were surprisingly flexible so they definitely get my vote. Without having checked, I would say they would definitely be more pricey but so will every other make as Britpart really is ****part. Do...

ebay has this wonderful message system whereby if you click on the "Ask A Question" link you can then contact the seller directly & ask them this very same question. You should try it, it really is an excellent facility.

Your local scrappies will be your best bet especially as you're after the older wheel. Should have plenty of choice. Lots of ebay sellers will ship but you just have to keep searching.

That's a bit strong old bean, especially as many of those Td4 guys were stung by the V6 or 1.8. Anyone who asks for advice should be aware of the possible pitfalls. I was thanks to other places before I bought my Td4 which was why I avoided petrol then I found this place after I'd bought my...

Hippo drives a V6 & is happy with it but even he says if buying another Freelander it'll be Td4 next time. A couple of guys on here have done the timing belts themselves but the last guy to do it said he'd happily pay a garage to do it again in future. As for pedals being level, I don't think...

You tried the old style performance chips. A synergy on the other hand will give more go with better economy if you drive with a light foot. Better economy with a performance boost when needed is hard to beat.

Agreed, I just used stainless steel self tappers on my broken ones.

Hope you also took the shoes off & derusted/greased the contact pads where the shoes "land" against the backplate or you'll find yourself back in there before too long.

Sorry to hear you've been ripped off. Britpart seem to be a plague.

No, I don't. I only buy parts like Quinton Hazell etc. I'm very very particular now about what I buy.

Big fan of Kumho myself. Try camskill for tyres as well but agree with ebay route. Sometimes you can pick up brand new tyres for good prices but you do take a chance with the date of when they were made. Most of mine have been no more than a year old so it's been good, part worn is more hit &...

Fair enough, but as I've said before maybe they should only deal with the trade then & not take money off of individuals when they have no intention of providing any sort of service or even items as it ended up in my case. They could choose to behave like say Dingbro who when we once went to...

Useful post that, I've added to my favourites for future use.

Famous Four do them but they're only £15 cheaper than dealer their part no. is FF003060 They aren't cheap but for a 3 door it's about triple that to replace all the seals so think yourself slightly lucky. Famous Four - New Parts for Freelander 1998-2006 Models - Body

It won't be long before you knock Britpart off your christmas card list too, some of their stuff is truly shocking. You're only lucky you weren't dealing with them directly as they have zero customer care skills.
