Hi

I have just taken delivery of a 2002 Frelander TD4 5 Door and the first thing I want to do to it is change the tatty old number plates for some shiny new GB ones. I have ordered the plates but have a questions about fixings.

The front plate is held on by screws so no problem. The rear plate is stuck on which I don't like. I want to screw the new rear plate on. My question is what fixings are there under the plate? I don't want to take it off until I am ready to fit but don't want to buy screws or bolts I don't need!

I have tried looking for pics on the net but to no avail. Can anyone advise?

i use double sided window tape as used in the glazing trade (where i work)
its 5mm thick.
and its very very strong. it has to be as it sticks glass ito plastic window frames.
i find it better than the crap they sell at halfords.

plastic number plate screws.


ooooo i dint realise its a hippoo - i wouldnt worry, mate - number plates are the least of ya worries:(
 
If yer want to screw it on, you'll need screws. If yer want to bolt it on, you'll need bolts.

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks HybridGirl - You know that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit don't you and that god doesn't like smart arses?? ;-)

And, as for you MatHatMan - Nothing like making me feel good about my new toy!!

Anyway, I've had it for 48 hours now and all is well - This is a much better record than my previous car (Nissan X-Trail). In the two months I owned it, it spent three weeks with the dealer resolving no less than 14 faults until, eventually, I got my money back.

I was going to buy a Freelander before I bought the X-Trail but was swayed by promises of Jap "reliability"... Plus it was much noisier and much slower than the Freelander!!

Cheers guys

lol - horses fur courses - i musta bought yours after it was fixed then :)

as fur sarcasm - yu will learn - hb was bein gentle with ya coz she is a lady.
 
It's true, my X-Trail was a diesel and it was rubbish. Better on paper than a TD4 but horrible to drive in real life. Didn't help that mine was built on a bank holiday Friday by a blind man with no thumbs...
