Towing Freelander - perhaps a daft question

Kennymac · Nov 7, 2011

Hi folks,

I'm going to pick up a dead hippo in Argyll (v6 with blown head gaskets), and plan to tow it back home (180 miles) using a towbar rig onto the free lander chassis. Will I be ok to stick the car in neutral and head home, and not destroy the gearbox etc. on the way back?

Cheers
Ken

is that legal ?

ratty .......

No, you probably will need to use the gearbox unless its downhill all the way.

should be on the back of a low loader for that long of a journey really

have fun explaning it to the fed if you get pulled !

and why bother awaking a dead V6 - let it rest in peace ! lmao !

you'll have to remove the propshaft............but i think the only legal transportation is via trailer......
