Hello I have a Freelander 2005 and I'm looking for a little help and advice.

Took the towing eye cover off and my front cross member is rotten. I can't take the bumper off until I go to my dads at the weekend, so I was wondering if anybody had experience with them. Is it bolted in place or welded?
If it can be removed from the car I can weld it at work but if it has to be welded in place its more of an issue for me.

..maybe a “hello” and “I have a Freelander 1 20xx and I’m after a little help and advice” might get you somewhere, rather than just joining and making this your first post!

C’mon - it’s a friendly bunch here (mostly :cool: )

Mine's a '99 model, so may be different, but that area on mine looks like this....

Do you remember how thick the metal was? I know I can get a winch tray that I assume fits to that so it must be quite tough.

Don't know sorry - not a 5 minute job to take the skin off either.

You'd have thought it was pretty robust going by its mounts.
 
Looks different to the 04 model
