Looking good now it's washed! Welcome.

Great, that gives me something to go and check the ET of my wheels against. Thanks a lot.

I think you're OK - AFAIK the 'nobbles' between the spokes on your new wheels suggest they're the newer type. Your old ones are just what I'm looking for if I can confirm the offset is different!

Cheers Mike. If, as I hope, you're right then it should be a good swap. A definite on the offsets is what's needed.

So it's definitely a difference in offset? Hoping to get away with 235/70s without spacers, so extra offset is what I'm after. I have, however, seen reference to the wheels being 'scalloped out' to give the clearance too. There's either more physical space or the wheels are pushed further out -...

Thinking of picking up a second set of wheels for my 1999 1.8 5dr. I intend sticking with the 16" alloys, but wondered whether the later 'TD4' wheels are simply differently shaped to clear the brakes or are they more offset? If more offset then they should give a wider track and hence...

If it's popped before they'll have cable tied/ hose clipped it back in place. Problem is that the slave cylinder still works, it's the collar that holds it in place that breaks. Tie it up and if the arm isn't too stiff it'll last for a while...

I bought mine cheaply because of just that problem. If you have a search you'll see it's fairly common although the snapped slave cylinder is a symptom of the clutch actuator arm seizing. It's about £50 for the new hydraulics and not at all hard to fit them, however, you need to ensure that...

I know there's a picture of a 5dr Freelander fitted with the tent on the Caranex site, but is anybody using one and if so which model? Also wondering how it goes with the side hinged door and what about height if I'm running a 2" lift kit and bigger tyres...

Oh well, I was starting to suspect i 'need' a second one anyway :D

So later alloys have a greater offset and might keep 235s away from the strut?

Go on, do it, do it, do it! What needs swapping engine harness-wise to drop a V6 where a 1.8 once sat?

So 235/70x16 BFG ATs on standard early alloys, no spacers, no rubbing? Great!

I've been using the boost and oil pressure gauges from this range in my Saab for the last year or so. Looks very OE - especially if you swap the amber bulb for a green LED and a very good price. Had no problems with quality either, boost gauge seems particularly accurate. ANY 3 GAUGE OFFER-...

AK47s? :hippie:

As per the title - is anybody running 235/70s on their Freelander? I've picked up a very cheap set of Michelin 4x4s and wondered if anyone had experience of how tight the fit may be before I go ahead and change them over. I will have a 2" lift kit fitted and notice the overall diameter is very...

I think the issue is usually with them being too far forward and shining through the windscreen...

You could always mount on a single roof (rack) bar. Is it for a 3 or 5dr? Thule do a kit for mounting bars on a Hippo 5dr without factory roof rails, which I think is listed for the 3dr as well. Part no. 1191 bolts to the factory roof rail mounts on a 5dr...
