love those wheels
reminds me i've got to try and find a spare rim , seeing i bloody missed not noticing it ,
been trying to pick at the window film and is rather stuck, obviously ,
thinking maybe a hair drier might soften the film up
folded the 3rd row seats down , came with the roller shelf cover, blimey is that boot big
like the side bins
don't know how to lower the drivers side glove box though , wondering if it's a cover for just electronics , etc
can see the square handle but can't open it

The wheels I fitted were 18" SE alloys painted gloss black and shod with 255/60/18 Pirelli Scorpion ATRs. I found the Scorpions were cheaper than some budget brands if got from the correct place. I think I paid around £80 each for the Scorpions. Well worth the money as they grip in all conditions.
The spare wheel has probably been stolen. That's a common problem, so there's a security plate made to prevent this. You'll need a new winch for the spare if it's been nicked.
Don't forget that the EGR valves are as fussy as those on the TD4, only there's two of them. A blanking kit will be less than an equivalent for the Freelander though.

they look a treat
going to treat and paint the chassis part first where the spare wheel goes ,
then find one on ebay etc
did see on the d3 forum about those security plates and egr blanks
found a full fitting instruction for the egr blanks, looks abit of fun but think it's well within my capability, will just take my time
all on the list,
is road tax and maybe tyres tomorrow
the rear tyres are really low, never know it could be the reason why it wanders, must have only around 10 psi in them, got a starter unit that has the built in compressor, but needed recharging first,
will pump them up first thing
thks again

Have the oil pump changed at the same time as the belts Gary. Disco Mikey had some quality oil pumps a while back.
The oil pump is well worth changing, as a delay in oil pressure build up when starting, can cause crank failure. Crank failure on a D3 means a new engine is needed. A second hand engine is about £3K, so replacing the oil pump, is a must.
thks mate , all this info is extremely helpful
been reading about the updated pump and have both belts replaced at the same time
bless u for giving me the heads up
still can't get over how nice this is compared to the hippo , is leagues ahead
my parents also love it, i feel it's quieter , considerably smoother ,
my son james and daughter both want to have a go
