Took my boat a 200 mile round trip at the weekend, my TD4 pulled it ok but there were a few moments on the twisty bits where the steering felt a bit light! Was a bit nausea inducing, but the boat doesn't weigh that much (around 650kg all in) and I've towed it with a passat and a golf in the...

Was very impressed with my Freelander after that weekend, it went back up the boulder strewn river and muddy rut hill for half a mile easier than it went down, whilst fully loaded with all our camping gear, my mate, and my dog! It then sailed down the motorway in total comfort, and after a...

This is me coming along the beach, shingle was deep, best avoid the existing ruts! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7qpeATYg6Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This was Mikey coming down the "hill" using his hill descent control, maybe just a wee bit fast to dodge all the boulders! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyrM9Satg7g&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Big Scott made it, that's us getting back up the hill now!

They plough into this beach, go better in reverse!

That's the tyres muddy now, after a hectic downhill to my secret fishin spot, will let you know on Sunday if it gets back up!

Thanks for all the help people! Got just the thing from eBay!

Don't all rush at once, sometime before the clocks go back will be fine....

I want to replace the front side lights and the rear registration plate lights on my 2003 GS TD4 with white LED's I think the front ones are push fit W5W, but will I need the Canbus type? Or is that only a worry on higher spec models with a trip computer? My main question though is, what type...

Good choice! Welcome to the freelander non-appreciation society'

Good luck keeping that clean! Very nice though!

Sensible car for the discerning family man! Welcome!

Welcome! Some agricultural types will be along shortly to ridicule your choice of fine looking vehicle, how they find the time between welding and coats of waxoyl is beyond me!

Don't listen to these farmers! You'll never have to replace half the chassis on a freelander!

Hail Ming! That's a shame, must be money to be made stripping it for spares though, or is it not worth the hassle of getting a gearbox from a scrappy to give it a few more years? If not, get another one, I've only had mine 6 weeks but I'm already emotionally attached!

Crockett, thanks! Problem solved!

Thanks! I'm sure when I was searching the Internet looking for this, one of the suppliers had the clamp advertised along with the exhaust, and it was only £4 or £5, but I can't seem to find who it was now! If I can't track it down on the net tomorrow I'll pick one up over the weekend.

Got a new rear silencer delivered from Paddock Spares yesterday, only £60 including VAT and delivery to Scotland! Fitted it last night, after taking the grinder to the rusticle that was the old exhaust clamp! Now nice and shiny! I've temporarily used a jubilee clip where it joins the centre...
