It ain't gonna break

The Mad Hat Man · Jul 15, 2015

its at least twice the size of a wheel!

pssst - do ya need any bolts

Dieseldo01 · Jul 15, 2015

It is!

B34R · Jul 15, 2015

Going to be interesting to see how this brakes and whether the back end becomes prone to skipping around under heavy braking!

The Mad Hat Man · Jul 15, 2015

Brake balance adjuster? or one of those valves used on the original minis?

Dieseldo01 · Jul 15, 2015

Got 320mm discs coming for the rear. Suspect the fronts will lock before the back starts skipping and leaving the floor. May need a bias valve don't know yet

B34R · Jul 15, 2015

If it becomes prone to it, the ABS *should* catch it assuming nothing has changed, but it'll still feel unstable.

Will be interesting, non the less!

It should already have those reducer/balancers as standard.

Yes its standard on all Freelanders. Its a reducing valve under the hood(RH inner wing) which prevents lock up of the rear wheels.

Dieseldo01 · Jul 15, 2015

Oh. That's what that is

I have high expectations. Have to see

The Freelander is very heavy, and is under braked as far as I'm concerned compared to my old Yeti.

This upgrade should improve things big time.

Be ****ed off if it doesn't!

LOL, you wanna try stopping in a MGF or TF with standard 240mm front discs, my Freelander stops brilliantly by comparison. I used to be scared someone in front would brake normally as that would be an emergency stop for me. AP 4 pots and 304mm discs fixed it though.

So. I got offered another L series prefer the colour! I now have three. Started the swap over

Like that colour, think you're going to have to get wrapping to match all that armory on the front in with it though.
I don't want to know probably, but how much did the car cost?

Diesel Do · Jul 25, 2015

Ha ha

£525
Mot until April
Funny box thing with cup holders in the back too

May do the middle of the bonnet like the green one but don't plan on going as mad with graphics I want to use it as a car a bit more rather than advertising.

There's one for sale over here at the mo with that back cubby box, in fact it looks like all the options were ticked when it was purchased....
