With the correct glue that can stand hot sun. I had a couple of goes at gluing part of mine but I think the glue was rubbish because the one time we had sun over the summer it fell down again. Any suggestions where to get new cloth as mine could do with being replaced?

Hard to argue with this. :confused: The results are a little 1970's Cadillac looking but better than having the sodding thing drooping onto your head. I should have taken the headlining out of the old car before scrapping it but at that point I didn't realise the issue and I'm too lazy to do it...

If you want it fixed quick and aren't too worried about making it look factory or just need a temporary fix until you sort it properly then have a look at these. https://amzn.to/40IDeCA I used them in my car and the results were....... ahem... 'good enough' I thought I had photos but can't...

I was just thinking with the slots and rubber you may have a lovely musical wind instrument going on. Might be fun for a day or two but..... At least with 4mm steel it should be easy to drill and tap holes to secure whatever you decide to use. ;)

Park the car on a flat piece of road, stand in front of it and have a look at the angle (Camber) of the front wheels. If it looks like an F1 car then they probably need adjusting. As already mentioned if 2WD then assuming the rears are OK, only change the fronts but get a proper 4 wheel...

Without removing it no but less than 18kg. At a guess maybe between 5kg and 10kg I very much doubt you will notice the extra weight though, apart from every time you need to remove and refit it of course ;). Rubber matting may not play nice at 70mph. I was thinking of something like alloy from...

Sorry I thought you were saying you could get the weird one by giving them you're standard one. I forgot you already got it. If you already have the weird one then keep it and use it. Maybe put something thin and light over or under it so it still works as a splash guard.

Being a lazy sod I'd take the swap. If you decide down the line you don't like it for any reason then remove the steel and replace it with ally.

What model Freelander?

We always knew when my father in law was going to a funeral cause the car got washed. He never washed it otherwise. :)

This thread is from 2017 and Ianmg hasn't been seen since 2020 so I'm afraid we'll probably never know.

The camber bolts arrived today and after 30 minutes or so the problem is sorted. :) I already had the car on axle stands and the strut bolts loosened so it was a simple task to fit the new bolt at max adjustment and after tightening everything I refitted the wheel and it is now almost identical...

Even one sheet of 4mm steel would be overkill as Freelanders are not that heavy. GRP would work but is brittle so I'd go for steel if ally isn't an option. Can you do a Google search for metal recycling or scrap metal places local to you. That is how I found the place that sold me the sheets...

Isn't there a couple of plastic bits need squeezing either side as you pull it out? I think ideally you'd have pointy pliers where the tips are curved in to make it easy but you should be able to cobble something together. Maybe it's fuel lines I'm thinking of so if I'm wrong then it just needs...

The issue is only with one rear wheel and probably unsurprising after replacing the lower arms with aftermarket parts. The front axle is close to the standard weight so any issues there have nothing to do with the conversion. But yes I accept the excess weight in the back will have some effect. :)

I vaguely remember getting a set of camber bolts with the 50mm lift kit which IIRC were for the rears. Are there already camber bolts on the front? I can't remember but I tried loosening all the bolts bolts and there isn't enough movement to sort the problem so I've ordered some of Ebay. I found...

A lot of care and attention went into adapting that piece of wood I'll have you know. ;) It was pretty obvious when looking it it from the rear and moving it made no difference and if the wheel was buckled it would be very noticeable. I had to replace the lower arms a year or so ago because the...

I had a go at sorting my wheel alignment with string and as expected it's not perfect, so I plan to bring it to a tyre depot to do properly, but a while back I noticed the camber on a couple of wheels was a bit off. Today I put a spirit level on the wheels and found 2 a bit off and one rear a...

Sorry I missed this post so will try to answer now. Brake lines were standard in my car, likewise ABS sensors. No idea about bump stops, I never checked. I think you're right about suspension travel but I found the car drove pretty much like a standard Freelander and the tyres will make more...

I had a 50mm lift kit and standard hoses so this is not correct. This is the main reason why I tell everyone to avoid the 50mm lift kit. I guess it would be possible to have a piece of steel turned on a lathe that the TRE screws into one side and the other mimic's the shape of the TRE cone and...
