Just fitted 235 70 16 on my standard ride height freelander

Its an each to there own i think. Its not a safety related item on the car so im happy to try a cheaper less time consuming fix.... If it was brakes or something that could be an issue then it would be replaced by tge book

Welder to welder, how about a set of smaller holes say m6 clearance on the same pitch at a different angle to hold them together while you weld, that way you can weld the bolts in place before putting top and bottom together Just a thought

Not a courtesy car.... A rally car for free

It is improving it..... Will take ten minutes to change in future AND i will have heating and that will be an even bigger improvement Its not exactly a bodge its just making life easier as i said fair play to you guys that have the money to pay a garage to fix it or the time to diy repair, i...

But for me its a lot of cost and down time on the car, i can understand people replacing like foe like if it can be affordable for them and can have the car off the road for the time period But for me it will be a french fix 😀

Dont think its an airlock as im getting heat thats corresponding to engine temperature from the matrix and my gauge has always read low, im 99.9% certain that its a stat issue

Sweet thanks, its 40 quid cheeper and 5.5-6 hours shorter to fit, why would anyone try to replace the standard one :confused::confused:

Found it... Very tempted to give that a try.... Its cheaper than the lr part and far far less time to fit

Ahhhh ok lol

Whats the gates bodge

Sorry yeah it's td4, my engine never seems to get that hot even on a long run the only time i have ever seen the temp gauge got to half way was stopping at a traffic lights after running up yhe motorway for 180 miles. Fans have never kicked in either

Hay all The heating in my freelander is a. Little crap, the engine temp never seems to get high enough. Is this a common temp reading as this is my normal position no matter what the temp outside is even in hot weather Is the thermostat easy to get at i guess it could be stuck open

No but if the coolant is empty and the oil is over

I would guess that your coolant is in your oil and that the head gasket has blown Good job it shut it's self down fingers in that it's not done much damage

I like them... Wish my had been fitted with one previously, looks like it's followed a grit truck most of its life.

Nope lol

It's easy halfords satin black couple of cans Rub over with some scotch pads and quick wipe with some thinners, I just used some shaped card as a guard for over spray and the tcut and polish after

Painted the bumpers black at last
