Another Newbie!

Hi Guys,

Go easy on me it's my first post! I'm the proud owner of a 2002 1.8 petrol 3dr serengeti (it's the wifes/dogs). I was horrified to read on here that mixing michelin synchrones and latitudes is a no no, had no idea, i've got 2 of each! Been on the car for a year without any problems although it's only done around 4k. The spare's a brand new synchrone. If I can get a new synchrone I'll have a full set, I realise they don't make them anymore,does anyone know where I could pick one up? Tried e-bay without success. Tyre size is 225/55 17. The car is road use only. If i can't get one I'll need to get my hands on two latitudes

Thanks, jc

Meant to say any advice would be greatly appreciated! Told you I was new to this!!!

Cheers, jc

What made you decide on the 1.8 k series ? Lol

Got offered it really cheap cause it hadn't been used for over two years, it was super low mileage and we needed something quick for the dog. And I didn't know the first thing about 4x4's (clearly!). Had no problems in two years though!

You might still get a new Synchrone, just keep looking and one will probably turn up.

I sold a brand new one in 225/55R17 just a few months ago.
Usual story in as much as the vehicle was still wearing the original Synchrones and the spare had never been used (tucked away under the cover) so I went and bought a set of five matching tyres (Hankook which have been very good) and sold the 'new' spare on Ebay for £50.
The chap who bought it had already done similar deals and was looking for one more to make a full set.

Never classed the 1.8 Freelander as quick

I meant we needed it right away!! The dog doesn't mind how fast we go!!
