Just checking how you guys are getting on with this. I have made some serious modifications to my 01 Freelander so I should have some stuff lying around if you need anything. I have 01 model alloys and I think I have 35mm spacers too...
I had a very similar problem with my 2001 2.0 TD4. Garage replaced spark plugs and the problem was resolved. I don't know enough about engines to know what effect this had though...
