Thanks Vissie. Now I know!

Hi My car's a 2000 3 door 2.0DL. When I'm on eBay for parts I'm finding two descriptions and sometimes parts don't mix. There's a '(1998 -2004) SUV' and there's an 'LN (1998-2004) SUV'. WTF does LN mean? Ta!

Thanks mate. Now I'm with you. I didn't realise that the apparently small increase in aspect ratio resulted in such a large increase in the tyre diameter. I'll keep well away from the cheap Contis. I'll stick the link you've sent me into my favourites and take it from there. It's not cost...

Thanks Singvogel. I appreciate the straight talking advice but I'm a little confused. My motor is a 2000 Freelander 1 2.0 Xdi L. The tyres I've found are Conti 4 x 4 Contacts and the width is 235. This is the same as on your 8 wheels yet you say they won't fit my car. Are you running a...

Hello. The recommended tyre size for my Triplesport 17" alloys is 225/55/R17. I'm about to buy a full set of rubber so that I can swap my 15" wintertime steelies for the posh alloys. I know where there are some Conti part-worns (5mm left) going cheap. However they are 235/65/R17 -...

Thanks everybody for your help. I seem to be having a lucky time. I've now done a swap with a local scrappie for a set of 17" triple sports that do fit my car. He bought a car with them on and the IRD suddenly expired. he'd already bought tyres so I gave him £250 for them. I take the point...

Thanks. Advice much appreciated.

Thanks Advice appreciated.

Thanks for replying. I have been advised to leave 17 inchers alone because of the tyre costs and get a set of 16's. However, when I told my mate that I was going for 16's he up and gave me the 17's. (he's got plenty of money). I've stuck one on the front and guess what? It doesn't fit. It...

I've got the chance of some of these nice Triple Sport alloys in mint condition however I'm a bit nervous. I think I've heard mutterings about clearance problems on earlier Freelanders. Mine's a mark 1 first registered in March, 2,000. I stuck one of these wheels on the rear and I must admit it...

Thanks mate but black's just not right. It won't go with the rest.

Thanks. That's very kind. This is one of the problems with living in the frozen northern wastelands. Is it the 'greyish beigeish' version? If it is and I can't find one in the next couple of weeks I'll give you a shout if that's OK. I can arrange a courier to collect it. Thanks once again

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll get looking for one. Regards

Hello mate I think you've got me slightly wrong. I'm looking for a bigger centre console too. I havn't found one yet. Regards

Hi. I hope somebody out there's done this and can help. My Freelander one's got the early low level centre console between the front seats. The bit that covers the handbrake lever and has the rear seat cigarette lighter socket and astray on the back. I fancy fitting the later type that's...

Thanks for replying. I appreciate your offer of help. however, a local bloke who knows my signature on here has given me a full set that he has no use for.

Hi Anybody out there got any wheel nuts for steel wheels? I need 20 but I'll take what you've got. As an alternative does anybody know of nuts from other lesser vehicles that will work - or the spec of the nuts so that I can get round the fastener suppliers? Ta! Dtwo

Hi Everything you say is right but I've got two. One's brand new and on the car. The other one's got cracked plastic windows. I just need the windows so that I can flog it. Thanks anyway because I had no idea what the windows are worth. Now I won't spend £30 to sell the whole thing for 40.

Hi Is there any chance that you found a complete soft top and now have two spare side windows? I've got a soft top without the windows and I can use them if you want to sell them. Thanks Dtwo
