Thank you for finding the link out. I did come across this site after a few Google searches. Craddocks is just down the road from me, so hopefully they should be able to help with some aspects.

Ah. That’s a bugger. Different to what extent? I think the left hand side in situ. Not the drivers side unfortunately. .

How interesting. Thank you for that. Mini mokes were a quirky think. Rarer still than a 2a I would warrant. So, parts wise. Most 2a needed for replacing or second hand. Already bought a seat box for refurb from Craddocks

Thank you. I can see I need to do some research into the light weigth in general. The vendor has some original paper work so that will be an interesting read.

He has most of the bits to put back on. I didnt say it was a perfect find, but I dare say you are correct Bobstickle. A find. Non the less. Hopefully, I can source the correct series parts as I go along. It didnt sell for the price shown

Morning all, Having sold my 90 last year, I wasn’t, sure a Landy would come my way again, but I saw a light weight near to me so put down a deposit. It was been molested a bit and stood still, hence a lot of surface rust, but hopefully, with a few chassis patches here and there and some...

Thanks for the input Arctic 2. They (Crewe garage) have come to collect and say they are going to change it all again and are giving our daughter a courtesy car, but as you say, it sounds like they haven't got a clue. I will bear your place in mind as we are all in Cannock. Cheers

It sound like you have had all the same stuff done as my girl. They do seem to have generally been clueless. She took it there as she was in Crewe and assumed it would be a LR specialist in the first instance. They have said they will look at everything, again. I will maybe suggest the master...

Hello all, I am usually over on the Defender forum, but felt the expertise here would be model helpful. My daughter bought an 07 plate Freelander earlier this year. She spent quite a bit getting any minor things done, as she got it cheap. However, she noticed the clutch pedal kept going to the...

Thanks for all the information and words of wisdom, chaps. I can see your points. Your suugestion of taking some measurements and comparing the Richards one is a very good one. They are not a million miles from me and besides, I would be going to fetch the chassis myself which would make a check...

Hmm! I have heard mixed reports on the fitting of a Richards one, but I suppose at nearly a £1000 cheaper is worth considering, lol

It does. If I went out to it now, once the battery was charged, it would start first click. I have no doubt. Better than my Beetle, which is a bit of a waiting game, while if thinks about it, but that's on a button so probably just the terminals needing a clean, Lol

Thanks for the responses chaps. I am hearing a ringing endorsement for keeping it. The mechanicals are good, the engine being strong if a little smokey on start up. The synch between 1st and 2nd gear is dodgy but I have a mate whose dad can rebuild. I rebuilt a mini one many moons ago. Bloody...

Hi all. Just gauging some opinions please About a year ago my 90 failed its MOT. Usual front outriggers ( back ones done) and some rot near the rear trailing arm mounts. So, spanner in hand I started dismantling with a view to fitting a galv chassis. Do it once was my thinking. Needless to...

Spoke too soon. Clutch gone or rather i think the slave has gone on her car in a roundabout. Fluid everywhere and poor kid had to get it taken away to police depot as they said it was in a dangerous place £150 for the privilege even though the AA had just arrived.

Thanks. Yes, it has the green and red buttons on the steering wheel and phone button on the central console. If this is the only thing that has gone wrong, then that wont be too bad.

Well, having been persuaded by my wife as seeming a good buy, we did in fact purchase the 07 HSE and gave it straight to my mate who is an MOT and main dealer mechanic. He has gone over everything, full service, all fluids (inc Haldex filter/oil change) and except for some wear in suspension...

Again. Many thanks. You seem to be a man who knows the model We are off to look at a few incl a GS with high mileage but does have fsh. So we will see. It’s an 07 plate but at least it will give us a feel if what we can get. My daughter is impatient. Lol The leather, not so much claws. It’s...

Thank you for the very detailed reply. Much appreciated. My daughter has been pestering me all week but trying to find one that is worth looking at is proving problematic at the moment. Especially the HSE, but you seem to think these are overly expensive for the additional spec level. Having big...

Odd. I searched for this but no posts in this topic. Anyway, one of my daughters is after a bigger car than her Yaris. She likes the idea of a Freelander 2 as they are not as silly money as Discos, let alone Defenders. i said I would enquire as to their merits or otherwise. So, are they any...
