I'm definitely going to give them a try shortly. Going for 205 80 15.

Was good to hear a first hand review, keep up the good work

mada · Jan 16, 2015

Have ordered some new parts,

Have a set of Pink silicone hoses
A snorkel kit
30mm Wheel spacers

Diesel Rhino, looking forward to giving this a try and see if there are any gains to be made from it!

Mada whats the freelander like for off roading and also loving the project

mada · Jan 17, 2015

I've not done any 'serious' off-roading in it yet but the little but I have its preformed very well! It's my first 4x4 so can't really compare it to anything but I do think it's good!

r0ryb · Jan 17, 2015

im thinking of getting a freelander for off roading most prob a 1.8 petrol to see if I like it and if so maybe then get a better 4x4

Where did you get your front fog kit from and was it easy to fit? I would like to put some On my hippo.

Where are you getting the Snorkel kit from?
This is something else I would like to purchase.

mada · Jan 17, 2015

ebay for both of the mate. just keep an eye out for the fog light kit.

The snorkel is a kit which i found and going to adapt to fit the freelander, I will put pictures up after I have done it

mada · Jan 17, 2015

diesel rhino arrived today, have to put in 30mls for every 10L for the first fill up so ill be doing that in the morning!

got a spare boot handle so thought I may as well smooth the badge off as i have never seen it done before

New hoses arrived, so took inlet off and cleaned it with oven cleaner, as you can see it deffo needed doing!

will carry on with this in the morning and fit these

Also here is a sneaky picture on another car which i get to work on now and again

NeedleNose · Jan 17, 2015

Nice work, might want to edit your address out of the pic though!

mada · Jan 17, 2015

Edited, thanks! Hopefully the mad hat man can do the same too!

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 17, 2015

You might be better removing it from FB

mada · Jan 17, 2015

I will do too, thanks

mada · Jan 18, 2015

so new hoses fitted

car seems to be pulling a lot more smoothly now, after cleaning the inlet and due to the new hoses!

went up to the woods to take a few pictures

Diesel rhino is now in the fuel tank so will be recording the results from it too!

and on the way back up the road had some snow!

Cool. If you're like me you'll be cleaning those hoses every couple of weeks. They get mucky, with turbo vapour I think, if you don't keep on top of them.

Enjoy your nice motor :clap2:
