and here is a pic of me doing the mud run at the lro show last weekend, and before you ask i did make it(just)

here is a picture if anyone is interested

i know it's an old thread but thought i would let you know what i have on my freelander. i've just fitted a bearmach 2" lift and have 15" steel wheels with 215/75/15 bridgestone dueller MT's. so far the wear rate seems pretty good and i have no problems with the tyres contacting the suspension or anything like that. the fuel consumption does not seem to have been effected by having MT tyres, i still get about 28mpg(1.8 k series). the only complaint i have is that the bridgestones are very noisey between 40 and 60 mph but are no worse than AT's at motorway speeds. As for off road performance i will be testing them out on the LRO show off road course in a couple of weeks so will find out then.

hi. i wanted some 17" AT tyres for mine a year or so ago and found it nearly impossible to find any 17" AT's that would fit a freelander. the 265 tyres that others have mentioned will not fit, the only ones i could find were the 225/55/17 colway c-trax all terrain. i had these on the car for about 18 months and they were pretty good,costing about 50 quid each. unfortunatly i think colway have gone bust now so you probably won't be able to get them any more. i have since got rid of the alloys and now have 15" steel wheels with 215/75/15 bridgestone dueller MT's, coupled with the 2" lift i have it looks pretty cool but sounds like a stuka dive bomber at speed with those chunky tyres. so bin those alloys,stop being poncy and get some proper boots!

helpful. i assume then you just have to check and top it up every now and then?

doing a complete oil change on the freelander at the mo,ie- engine/gearbox/ird and the rear diff and have hit a snag. now i can see the filler plug on the diff but can't seem to find a drain plug! help!!!!

about 600 quid! thats providing you have not completly cooked the engine, i'd stop driving it now if i were you.
