After much messing and modification I've finally managed to get a sports steering wheel (Momo) fitted. There are no Freelander specific bosses on the market. So I bought 2, which were supposed to be the closest match. An expensive £70 Momo boss and an inexpensive £25 ebay special. Needless to say both needed to be modified - mostly to the none structural end , the bit that operates the self cancelling for the indicators. The Momo boss as it turned out was an absolute waste of time , effort and money and would need far too much modification - it needed to be ground out too close to one of the steering wheel supports in order for it to fit over the plugs on the rotary coupler which would then potentially weaken the boss so I decided against it.Also it needed to be ground out in order for it just to fit the steering column, something well documented on the MG sites,even though it's supposed to be MGf/TF specific and even then the shaft isn't long enough to reach the cancelling ring on the Freelander, so that would also need to be modified.
The cheap job just needed a little grinding to fit over the cancelling ring, the cancelling ring needed a little beefing up in this area too as it is slightly wider than the column of the boss. That was it. It's in and all working as it should. Cheap job was also listed as for an MGf/TF.
