Show us yer Freelander!

Karlos28 · Jan 9, 2019

Wondered if a pic thread might be a good idea on this forum for the Freelander?

Be interesting to see what people do with mods mod stuff, wheels/tyres/lift/lower(!?)/various guards ect...

A bit of a Freelander appreciation/inspiration thread maybe?

I don't have one as yet! Looking for inspiration!

Ahhh Devon, we are talking about getting a spaniel soon, glad to see the freelander will happily fulfill that task!

Everyone keeps trying to put us off, saying they are nuts! Theirs probably aren't excercised enough!?

Probably over-sensitized and too much free-running exercise. They love to work and are very bright so mischievous. If you don't want to work them on s shoot, try agility. They're very good dogs, very rewarding but hard work.

A couple of pictures of my freelander 1 (My series tratter making an appearance in the background).

I bought it for 400 pounds for two freelanders, more as a hobby becuase I am lucky enough to only work 6 months a year and for use around my 10 acre small holding. it's not let me down once on muddy uphill slopes.
So far it's had two engines under my care: a 1.8 k series from another freelander and now it has a 200bhp 1.8 turbo from an MG ZT.
I have slowly been upgrading it with parts found in the scrap yard including rear tinted windows and electric wing mirrors to go in.
I am always on the hunt for the fabled heated seats but I do have a set of very rare recaro seat bases for the freelander.
My eventual plan is to have a bit of an off road stripped toy with winch and lift for comp safaris but I live in Cornwall so getting to them is quite hard.

Bargain! They look great (and the series!).

What size are those steelies? Looks well with those tyres.

Rocketstu · Jan 9, 2019

Only 53K on the clock but still has all the usual Freelander faults

Karlos28 · Jan 9, 2019

Looks nice and clean! What faults are they?

Quick 'His n' Hers'

Replaced the starter on her Freebie and I have to do fluids and filters on my L322....Land Rover ownership - such fun!

Looking Good! I'm an occasional visit to Pool Halfords, and is that somewhere on the Helford?

In due course.....funds tight after crimbo so will have to wait a couple of months - the correct fluid for the ZF5 is a fortune!

Thanks, the steelies are the original freelander steel wheels. They are 15s so a lot easier to get tyres for with big sidewalls, gives the impression of a lift. I got the steels professionally powder coated so they should last a while.
