Check the rear driveshafts/CV’s…? Can you replicate it if jacked up and spinning the wheel…?

You’ve checked there is nothing stuck in the tyre…? Edit; how certain are you that it is that wheel? Noises from underneath can be misleading as to which corner there are coming from (if indeed a corner at all… prop?)

Assuming all model years are the same (I believe they are), the rear driveshaft nuts on an F2 are 395Nm, or 291 lbf-ft. And you should use a new nut 😉 You still need a big torque wrench.

The vac bags are a good call - we have them somewhere (never used 🙄). I think the OP is doing a ‘round trip’, as opposed to one way, but those seats are a pain to ‘store’!

If you need as much space as poss then take out the seats, get yourself some of those vac bags for soft stuff, they save a huge amount of space. Dont forget you have to go back for your seats :). J

I have converted my 5dr to a van and it's so practical for hauling large dogs of course but all kinds of stuff. The floor will handle heavy stuff. If you think about how much the rear seat and 2 or 3 persons + their stuff in the rear compartment...

Took wife's 2005 FL1 for MOT today. Passed with no advisories !!

You read my mind @Freddie17, but I was just probably being too cautious and overthinking it all.

Building it and considering it new does not mean you have added value. Just looking through the pictures there are some very expensive items that will not have added value to the vehicle. Couple of easy examples, roof rack (guessing about £1k)...

…take them out and see if it suits your need - it’s a quick job, literally would take you 10 mins. The footwell space might be good for you for your trip, especially if you have soft stuff that can use that space, then load flat across the top of...

That’s so obvious. Everyone knew that. It’s true. These things have been around for years.

€1000 🤣 How many is that for - 5?

I want 1000eur for everything, considering their condition. I also have other spare parts for the entire roof assembly, even for the hardtop. I am however open to any kinds of offers. Sorry if the price is too high, I couldn't find any for sale...

I took the rear seats out of my old F1 for a bit, thinking it would give the dog (and me) a lot more space. In reality, it’s a right pain, as @Arctic2 says, you just gain the footwells, but of course it creates a big ‘gap’ between the bed of the...

The seats folded make a flat bed in the back, which i think is going to be much safer, and i doubt you will gain that much room because you will only be losing the footwell space the seats fold into?

I've been pushing ahead with the low voltage junction box trying to get the car ready for a road trip next Saturday and today I had the biggest step forward since enabling regen. :D DC fast (ish) charging at a Chademo charger. :banana...

Discs and pads done today in between a day at the beach. How's that @andyfreelandy...

Oh dear - see, the thing is, you have to concentrate when ignoring

Jealousy will get you nowhere… 😁

As this thread is been ignored,not many are going to see it.. As it involves a freelander it should be in the joke section ;) (Good luck on the meeting.)

While ignoring this most popular thread. Publicity opportunity for the many ignorers!! https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/andyfreelandys-get-together-north-devon-september-13th.398282/post-5873023

Lift the trim around the gearstick and take a peek - I’d be double-checking before pushing a drill through! Takes 2 minutes.

^^^^This! I want to do some due diligence before I make contact. I'm casually looking for a cheap one of these for a bit of non-serious off road fun and this might have been it but the absence of the VRM puts me off and all this "no idea what...

Only 5 weeks away. Having a meeting this week to agree and order some FL goodies. More / different can be obtained after the event if they are a success ! This event is open to all Freelander owners (others might find it dull). I have a list...
