Hi - Have just joined the forum in the hope there are some problem solvers here who relish a challenge! I bought (in haste) a Freelander 1 2 Lt Diesel to discover it was registered with a 1.75 petrol engine. The bloke who sold it to me said a diesel had been dropped in, was not problem etc but by this time I had bought it and could not go back on the sale (I live in France, the car was in UK so this was all done by telephone and online banking). Finally getting the car to France and seeing it for the first time I find the engine doesn't have any transmission to the rear axle. So I am looking for advice on what I need to reinstall 4WD and where to source the parts, and if I can get the car reregistered as a Deisel and so get a certificate of conformity to change it to a French carte grise. So any help welcome, but I'd rather not get messages saying what a prat I was for buying it in the first place!
