Hi guys

Thank you for your comments they are all appreciated.

I actually wanted to paint the arches and bumpers matt black, but the car paint shop guy talked me into the satin black, lol.

Looks good, why on earth would you heat gun the bumpers though? (not you the previous?)

baptista · Sep 10, 2014

cause if you do it right it is better than any wipe on crap that runs off every time it rains.

The paint on the arches and bumpers is holding up very well.

Drivers side brake caliper seized up for the second time at Christmas.

Fitted new calipers, caliper guid kit, disc's and pads from Famous Four.

Also got a new GKN VCU and support bearings to fit, but first I want to fix a long on going problem with the pesky tailgate.

I did my speaker covers the other day exactly the same, there a company on eBay selling leather handle covers also as mine are tatty I think I'll spend the 20 quid and get some as I can't seem to find any black ones in good order..

Tut quoted wrong bit but I meant the speakers you painted,

Sucram · Sep 12, 2014

Yeah I think the speaker grills look better in black, I've still got to do the rears.

I'd be interested to know what you think of those door handle covers when you get them, may purchase a set if you think they are ok.

Well just returned back from weeks holiday to Saint Agnes in Cornwall. We covered 820 miles and from what I've calculated she's done 39 mpg and never missed a beat the whole journey, well happy with my Freelander.

Thank you.

Nice to know someone on here who is so local to me, virtually neighbours

Give me a wave if you see us.

MULDERKE · Sep 15, 2014

Hello all.

What kind of miles has your Freelander done?

It seems to travel well.

And look well.

Cheers

Sucram · Sep 15, 2014

It just turned 125,000 miles so not to bad for a thirteen and a half year old motor.
