    Freelander 1 Strange sound from front

    That means there will only be around 5mm for me between the tyre and spring cap. To be honest sounds scary and I should prob be safer with current 215/70/16 or 225/65/16 which will be a bit wider not looking like a toy car. That is of course if the rim wideness won't affect the "look".

    225 should not be the issue, as the 17 wheels have that wideness. It's the "height" I am looking for.

    Freelander 1 Strange sound from front

    Oh I genuinely believed you were messing. Anyway we learn things every day like I learned that a tyre can make the car sound like it's breaking in half on low speeds.

    Anyway your argument is invalid as making them wider does increase the height as well, as that bit is percentage wise. I am sure you knew that. Perhaps somebody with some sort of experience can confirm or infirm that 225/70/16 would go silky smooth?

    It will make them a little bit taller as well as 70% of 225 = 157.5 while 70% of 215 is 150.5 in mm.

    Yes but I currently have 215/70/16 and I am even thinking to expand to 225/70/16 if it's not rubbing anything. Seems to be enough room around there... Bit taller tyres always make this car look good. Scrapped 3 freelanders and kept the tyres.

    That's it will get ze geolandars. These ones have very good thread, just they get oval quickly making me shopping for wheels hubs, knuckles and so on scared by what could it be.

    Thanks Nodge will prob seek refund. How about the toyo open country? I am very undecided between these two, geolandars are heavy to be honest for the 1.8

    Freelander 1 Strange sound from front

    I could not believe it, but it was the tyre making all this noise. Sounded very metallic to be honest. Back to warranty with it, these are BF Goodrich Urban Terrain piece of crap which lasted 2000 miles. Two out of 5 are already kaputt and I just drive to work 6 miles a day with this thing.

    How many yellow G4s are left?

    Went on and saw the car. If any of you guys want to have it, couple of notes. lacquer does peel off this colour, but is not bad at all only a few small points engine is sound, head gasket changed at 24k miles and no signs of issues, idles well etc. leaking oil on I suspect the usual crankshaft...

    Td4 DIY leak back testing

    I sincerely doubt that. I am not a big fan of the British engineering in cars and houses, I've seen amazing things on both. Just look at the camshafts on a K series vs this M47. It's just us trying to get cheap on injectors... Usually they are changed especially after 100k miles. They are not a...

    Td4 DIY leak back testing

    You need them just in case one breaks as it's a 3quid item but if you don't have it... sad. No idea to be honest how much it should be, I only used mine to determine which one is the bugger, and it was 4 as it filled up much faster than the others. Then got a recon one and failed in 500 miles...
