  1. Freelanders love to overheat and go boom ... costly repair bills . Seek something better / Jimneys are good , and wont get stuck in the same tracks others have left behind -- different footprint -- get some good tyres fitted (not road biased) , an you`ll go anywhere
  2. As said , you`ll find most 4x4`s will do this , Ive ran Mitsi`s / Nissans/ Toyotas / Rangerovers/ Daihatsu`s +Landrovers all models -- they all do it so long as you have checked everything and all in tolerance dont worry too much its very common . Get your tyres spun on the rims and wear out the other shoulders to even the wear ( remove tyre - spin 180 - refit + re-balance) should help prolong tyre life
  3. Update: I have Now advertised on that alternate site thingy that sells all sorts of things and bidding has started with photos too . Sorry i couldnt get pics up on here.
