  3. according to all of the garges and breaker yards you can't bodge this due to the, how its laid out they have tried to work out different ways of doing just had an estimate from thwhite Swindon as tim frys can't do it next week 950 inc vat, plus recovery to pick my freelander up and get it there. tim frys were the same. glad i was sat down when they gave me that quote!!!! unfortunately they have my nuts in a vice as have no choice need my car desperately, due to where i live its a 1.3 mile drive way before you get to the road then steep climbs to get out, we have one car abandoned at the farm and the farmers cars stuck in front of his house due to the snow, can just about get about, as we have a disco but not road legal, cops wont be able to catch me in this weather thou so all good, cheers the optimist
  4. brilliant thank you already tried tim frys waiting for a reply at the moment can only sell the it with all the fuel lines as apparently it is a job to get it to seal.
  5. Hi guys, accidentally broke the the 5 way fuel splitter on my td4, today, its located on the chassis rail, front left by the steering arm. does any one know where I can get one from asap, or does any on have one i'm stuck in eastleach at the moment but will be able to get someone to get it for me, if anyone one can help it would be much appreciated. Many thanks theoptimist
  6. Hi guys, found the major leak, causing my carpet to get soaked, I have to wade alto to feed livestock, I recently went through the river with no carpet, gazed at the door at the bottom, and it looked like someone was poking a hose through it. Has anyone else had this problem or could my doors need new seals, don't no whether this is normal or not, i've tried stopping it by wiping the carp from around the doors, but didn't seem to help and by the time i feed stock the mud was all there again. Has anyone got any ideas? hopeing to put the carpet back in shortly as it has almost dried out, but will leave it out and build a custom floor that i can just dry out with an old towel or something. many thanks theoptimist
  7. Brilliant thanks for the tips ramhead, hopefully picking up my tyres this weekend, and according to the weather when my freebies lifted going to have some snow to play in, get excited now. cheers theoptimist
  8. thanks CwazyWabbit, just glad did loose any wonga on it. thanks for everyone's help!! theoptimist
  9. just got off the phone with chris and the website was a test, no money was taken and. but he has said that the site will not be running so don't use. many thanks theoptimist
  10. just like to correct my self where its say this site should be live is shouldn't be live yet.
  11. got hold of a chap who works for him first said that they did not own this website, then said that this a new website that should be live yet they own lr spares, he said they have the spacers in stock, and he needs to speak to Chris, as has nothing to do with this other website, awaiting a call back but optimism is lacking, i willl keep you posted. many thanks the optimist
  12. that's what i first thought but the prices are lower all round thanks the optimist
  13. just been on lr spare parts, everything on lr2go is exactly the same title headings part pictures descriptions, except the set out of the website and prices changed into euros, and lr spareparts have contact details, will wait until i get something back, from Chris mcknight thanks the optimist
  14. found all those details but thanks simonr, tried calling emailing. got some mates near by to his house which is that address seems the business is to large to run out of the house but they gona have a knock on the door. thanks guys i will keep you posted, the optimist
  15. Just ordered wheels spacers from www.lr2go.com, then realised no contact details can't get hold of them and nothing sent to me. I have called trading standards and this is seems to them a scam however nothing can be done as the company has 30 days until there is a problem if i haven't received my items. If any one has used this company and has received or not received there items, lease let me know asap, I have there address, thanks to the internet whether its the right one or not. at current seems that i have lost my money, but if i have i want to warn others, about this. many thanks the not so optimistic optimist.
  16. Hi ramhead, just wandered if you have a photo of your lifted freebie, cheers the optimist
  17. brilliant thanks ramhead, the chap lifting it for me is going to cut the inner wing as far as he can before hitting the box section, did you need to go any further than that? many thanks sebastien
  18. cheers ramhead, probs going to pop the spacers on anways as i have the spacers, the 3 1/2 inch lift is what i'm looking to gain, thanks for the info the optimist
  19. 225 75 16 bfg m/t's 2 inch lift kit the freebie is getting its make over next week. can't wait

  20. hi guys freelander being lifted next week with bigger tyres and spacers, ordered camber pins for the front, but didn't think about the back are they needed? many thanks theoptimist
  21. hi its to cover the steering lock and stop the tyres hitting the spring bases, the picture on mad freelanders of the chap who has done it looks brilliant, and with the 2 inch lift i should have ground clearance problems, will upload before and after photos next to a standard freelander, for people to see. cheers theoptimist
  22. just found a link on mad freelanders, changed my plans to 225 75 16 bfg muds, and ordered 30mm spacers, a chap on there had them on no probs, hope this will help for someone looking to do the same thing. cheers the optimist
  23. Hi guys, looking at fitting 225 70 16 mud tyres to my freelander which has a 2 inch lift, will i get away without using spacers, or will i have to get some spacers, if so which are the better ones to go for? many thanks the optimist
  24. nope checked, there is now problem with the actual car and the amount of water found is far to great to be that, the carpet has now been there for 24 hours and still isn't dry, however the trough i put there out of interest of quantity of water now has 5 inches of water and as said before is a 6ft by 1ft trough, going to lock the carpet in a container with a dehumidifier when it arrives to get the last drops out. cheers theoptimist
  25. Checked it, the seal is almost new as replaced last year, tested with water and food colouring, nada, this one has me stumped, are there any, weakness in the bulkhead that any one knows about? cheers theoptimist,
