Anyone heard from @WhiskyLassie lately? Hope all ok.

Fairly easy to do, and it does make a nice improvement for very little pennies https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/geart-gaitor-freelander-1-auto-help-needed.361056/

I thought “tax” was somewhat of a swear word on the IOM

Most of my F2 is Ford and Volvo

@haza88 Stick it behind yer tratter and we can sell seats on the next laning trip. I reckon could easy fit 8 in there 😁

Expanded that for you 😉

I know you need to load a wheelchair - Remember, the F2 has a lifting rear door (top hinged), not side-hinged like the F1. If anything, this will give you more room to load. The trick is to get one that you can be fairly certain of the history of, if possible. I bought my F2 off a well-known...

Yes - I guess ‘known’ issues are rear diffs (some sort of design fault), and rear sub frames rot on older examples. Haldex units not looked after can create issues.

Depends what you want really… Very generally; An F1 is easier to work on as much less electronics. Decent ones harder to come by. An F2 is more modern and a nicer drive, filled with electronics compared to an F1, easier to come by but obviously more expensive. An F2 well looked after is good...

@kevstar is prolly anchored off them both already, waiting on salvage rights to come through

I read elsewhere that it could be damaged canbus wiring under the air intake, so yep, I’d be looking there first.

I do this with mine, but have to keep moving it from the spare bed when we have people over to stay 🤪

Yeah - I’ve got my limbs, and those suspension struts are not the easiest of things to play with, so a good day. And the sun was shining. The nice thing is - it’s not a daily, so I can afford to take my time.

I found out today that replacing the suspension springs & struts on an F2 isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

The one in my F1 looks like that. But it's empty inside, and the port is welded closed 😁
