Mine was like that. I cut the lip off completely beat it down then welded it

Can you take a photo from the wheel side when you get time please mate?

I have ground down the bit you fold, upto the chassis rail. I just don't want to cut into the chassis rail and end up riting the car off if no one will MOT it like that.

Has anyone used this guy for his lift kits? How do they attach to the strut mounts?

This is one, ebay item number 230847996601 can't link to it as I'm on my phone.

I'm still after lifting mine, just a lesser lift to make it easier!

That number brings up these

land rover freelander td4 35mm suspension lift kit | eBay

They look pretty standard to me!

That's the ones.

I'm trying to find out if anyone has bought from him, what the quality is like and what his customer services are like.

Sorry no can help, but they have decent feedback and top seller bla bla.

The problem with the ebay feedback is it isn't item specific, so they can have a couple of negative feedbacks for the same item, but no one knows which item it is (unless its in the last 90 days anyway), and still appear to be selling top items.

Ok, cheers mate.....I've got 30mm wheel spacers fitted, but as you haven't got any fitted (as seen in another thread) I don't think I'll need them.

I did some research on the MOT and the steering test, it said the suspension MUST be in its normal use position for the lock to lock test, so I don't have a clue!?

Here it is;

Here is a link to VOSA test notes for MOT testers. It also states lock to lock steering test MUST be performed with the "suspension in the normal road position, unless its a beam axle". That says to me it's not tested at full suspension travel.

That's interesting - I always believed it had to clear at full extension??

Looks like I might remove that lift kit from ebay and refit it.

That's why I went for 40mm as had no intention of cutting the chassis. I did not fit camber pins but did have the 4 wheel alignment done. It was just bearable in the dry in terms of handling but needed caution in wet weather as under steers. Anyhow, never really got on with it, so all back to standard and wheels aligned again - bit of a performance!
