Hi I was wondering if any of you have managed to, or thought of fitting gas strut bonnet lifters to your Freelander? It would make me feel a little less worried of sticking my bonce under the heavy clamshell cover that tends to blow around in the wind! Reckon we could retro fit one without...

A unique way to atract people to this forum. :smokin:

Someone I know has been slating me for buying a Freelander. I got one to get to hospital in the deep snow. They say I should have gotten a JEEP Cherokee according to them. They were also saying the Freelander is liable to get stuck in the snow as it doesn't have a low range gear box, or 4...

I'd love to get this done too freebiker, how much do you think I would need to pay a local garage (or anyone who'll do the job) to fit a liftkit, say a Bearmach once I have the parts? I'm guessing it's a full days work, say an 8hr job? I'm after a 'swap' for my Sport suspension/shocks...

Hi, I wanted to ask if you guys think it's possible to fit an electric sunroof to a Freelander '04 that doesn't have one! I've searched the forum and can't find a thread, although it must have be done by someone out there before. The main barrier other than a big old job, seems to be the...

Near £50 difference between generic MAF and BOSCH part in prices. I wonder if in this case they are identical, and the mark up is simply for the name?

Thanks for that Mike B. :) I'm wondering if the guy could make some black metal style ones for the front of a facelift hippo, not as fancy as the plastic LR ones obviously (too intricate) but more like the original freelander ones like these.

The first place is the dealer, as you need to know the part numbers. Get a price from them and if it's too high try online and email various companies, and/or use their websites by searching for the part numbers you need. Here's some websites: Britcar (UK) Ltd Land Rover spare parts and...

It looks like 205/80/R16 setup gives maximum ride height on a freelander with standard suspension without rubbing, so no need for spacers using 205 wide tyres. Add a Bearmach 2'' lift kit into the mix, and presumably the job is done in maximising the ride height to a safe level without it...

This is a very valid point, however I think maybe people pay for a service due to not having time and also because you get a service stamp in the log-book that is essential if selling the car.

Hi everyone. I found these Kernow rear metal light guards for the facelift model if anyone is interested? (I realise metal ones are available elsewhere, pre '04). Link The seller doesn't have any metal ones for the front though, and I cannot find a website other than Ebay seller flogging...

It's sadly illegal to fit steel bull bars to a vehicle that doesn't conform to EU laws since May 2007 (Directive 2005/66/EC). This is motor vehicles categorised as M1 (a passenger carrying vehicle not exceeding 3.5 tonnes and not more than 8 passengers) or N1 (a goods vehicle not exceeding 3.5...

Do wheel bolts get corroded from regular wading? I noticed today the black bolts on my 2004 car wheels are rusted quite badly, and the underside of the central exhaust pipe is also rusted badly. Also mud spray/splashes are up the firewall thingy near the bulk head, and starter motor is also...
