Apparently. Note 3 on this page.. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/introduction/inspection-and-certification-process/duties-and-responsibilities#heading2-for-tab1 However not going to rush into anything at this stage. Yes, it does. Thanks mate. However...

It has arrived... Very initial observations... Very tidy and straight Interior is very good, apart from compulsory head lining sagging in the back Sunroof works! So called conversion to 2WD is just the complete driveshaft assembly off, issue is that it has a compliance plate for 2WD...

Now that you have introduced yourself, ask questions in the Freelander group.

Went for a nice wee drive this morning, really great weather after the rain. Objective was to pick up a kitset generator, location was just past @GrumpyGel 's local golf links..

Probably worth reminding ourselves again... When one gets into a diesel runaway condition, only way to stop it is to shut off the air supply. If you have a CO2 fire extinguisher rip off the top of the air cleaner and blast it in there. Otherwise block the inlet with a towel or other garment...

Well if you had posted in the Freelander section my thoughts are that you have suffered from the not uncommon diesel runaway. As you have posted in AG I assume this is wind-up or something..... Is this about your inability to direct emergency services, or the incompetence of those services?

All organised. Due here next Tuesday at a cost of $NZ320 including GST. Happy about that.

Appears to be leaking oil so clearly not a Freelander. From the mud splatters, looks like it has come through the floor of a Trattor.

First quote in from O'Briens is $450. Waiting for a quote from mot. Thinking or trailer and the Forester... - Trailer hire 2+days about $250 - Accom + meals about $200 - Fuel about $150+ Most likely will get it transported.

Waiting to see what the story is with the 2WD, not sure what has actually been done. To add an electric motor, my plan is to also use a TD4 or similar long term. This one may just be used to fill in a bit of spare time and sell on to build more money for the long term plan. Thanks for the...

Just bought another, 2000, V6 higher spec with leather seats. Stuffed engine, $NZ800. Now to get it home from 200 Kms away, and likely to be stored at @GrumpyGel 's home for wayward Freelanders until we move. Wife is buying furniture for the new house so felt I should stock the...

The engine was originally in a Rover, but apart from that it is most likely the same as originally fitted.

I remember hearing about that. When I first arrived in Toowoomba this had happened the previous day... https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/it-has-been-40-years-since-ruth-and-allen-stillers/2893479/ And then over the next few weeks I had major problems moving around South East Queensland with...

No offence intended. Recently I drove through Toowoomba, first time back for over 30 years. Nothing seemed to have changed.....

Oh god, that must have been terrible - having to spend a night in Toowoomba for no good reason. I had to live there for 3 years!

Have a look at this... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-suspension.53145/ Mine was rattling and it was a worn sway bar bush.

Not on any of the above though. Did not see the one I bidded on coming up.

I think I have now seen one too many selfies...;););)

Unfortunately not my experience. Automotive engineering is pretty mature. Computer systems, less so!

You certainly have a talent for turning a minor job into a major issue, have you a trade background?;);););) I have a good tow strop in the back of the Forester, apart from the 10 YO's birthday party Sat afternoon I will be standing by for recovery work.
