    Looking to buy a Freelander - help?!

    It's a no-brainer - go the extra wonga for something you'll be very happy with (preliminary checks notwithstanding). No, you won't get one for cheap but that's the way with quality/low mileage vehicles. Suggest reading all the stickies re freelanders - lots to help with your decision-making...

    Why nickname them GAYLANDERS???

    Let's also underline that it seems to be the more "bi-curious" closets around these parts that give it the large one :) Come on out boys!

    Side Steps - Removal

    It's just a cosmetic thing and I think the vehicle looks better without - it's not like the cab is up that high. You gotta duck your head to get in anyway!!

    Which Freelander

    From the manual :)

    Which Freelander

    I've only got mine to go on but take off speed leaves most of my fellow road users behind and has plenty enough guts for me - the heavy right foot is partially at fault! Which is I why I won't get a proper sports car. I don't wanna end up in a tree :) It accelerates very nicely and cornering is...

    urgent help needed please

    Looks like your car has been bodged big time!! I assume you disassembled to show the egr better? Have included pic of how it should look :)

    I might just want to buy a Land Rover...

    As a recent Land Rover convert I looked at the various options and the FL1 td4 sport was my choice. It shifts and has all the benefits of a regular car. It'll handle a touch of the muddy stuff and isn't barn-sized if parking may be an issue. For me and my sprog it's more than adequate. The Disco...

    Which Freelander

    Depends what you want and what condition of course. A late plate FL1 HSE with all goodies and low miles can go for as much as 13K, a high mileage 1.8 petrol for £500! And, no thank you to the last option! I personally think the Sport version is the best FL1 as it doesn't wallow, pulls and...

    Egr Blanking Mod

    I love it - you spotted my (cough cough) deliberate mistake!! Hahaha, brilliant. It didn't even cross my mind to just go for Willo's pipe and leave it off the egr side. Ah, two doh!'s in as many days. :doh::doh: Lucky I haven't been asked to do any rocket science eh?! Thanks TD John; yeah...

    Disco Drivers are a nuisance.

    It's one of those catch 22's I think - everyone knows the joke is tired and SO old but as long as people react, there's a reason to prod them I suppose is the 'logic'! Bless us all I say, village idiots an all :) Care in the community and all that ;)

    Egr Blanking Mod

    Hey Willo, thanks matey :) and to Ming :P Yep!! Absolutely spot on with the duck impressions and I must have read this thread a dozen times and still forgot about the spindown issue. Doh! :doh: But apparently an easy fix and glad I got plenty spare tube bits and pegs. Big respects to both...
  14. dazjam

    Which Freelander

    Yep, my Freelander Sport manual is lovely now that its had egr bypassed, breather filter changed etc. There are a few tweaks and you'll have a great motor that drives like a quality car and is a capable 4x4. Prices a few months back for a 55 plate varied from around 10k to 8500 dependant on...

    Disco Drivers are a nuisance.

    Blah blah blah my car's better/bigger/muddier than yours!! And yer all poofs etc etc. Owabout this - anyone who owns a vehicle with a land rover badge is a prize c@nt but still a better, sexier c@nt than a BMW driver!!!! Hahahahahahaha :)

    Egr Blanking Mod

    I have another option for anyone who wants to keep original egr (cleaned out would be advised) or just wants a cheap fix that's easy and tidy. In the finest tradition of Blue Peter I offer you the shelf peg mod! I thought about a few versions but the tidiest way that doesn't involve...

    Freelander Van useless in snow

    Doesn't sound like you have the right tyres on - check em out on online and they'll be reviewed or rated somewhere. And then buy some snow chains.... ebay have plenty (and some even cheaper), do some googling geezer! ;) SNOW CHAINS HEAVY DUTY 16MM FREELANDER 4X4 NEW IN BAG * on eBay (end...
