Hi all,
I'm new to the forum. I've been browsing the posts so thought I'd sign up. I've got a Freelander
and hope to get more than a days light off roading out of it. It was given to me by my Dad as a stop gap, so I put a ticket on it and since then it's been sat on the drive. I've heard of an off road place near Truro so I was wondering what I'd need to do to get it to a usable standard.
I know it's the worst engine to have, but it was free.
Is it worth putting some muds on? It will have minimal road use so raod handling isn't that important. Getting out of trouble is. I've read that ATs are better than muds, something to do with stressing the transmission??
From a brief glance, I'll need better tyres, and a 2" lift.
What about electrics? Are there any 'must do' jobs to keep them dry?
Look forward to any responses omitting the phrase 'gaylander'....
