theoptimist Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 There is obviously a demand for freelander 1 off road parts, but can't find many online, Does any one know of a company for decent parts, Such as: wrap around bull bar, sump guards heavy duty, mantec style tank guards, Mantec style exhaust garuds, Receiver hitches, Snorkels, Heavy duty clutch, Lower gear to replace first gear, (really low ratio, first gear with normally second gear) exterior roll cage, chequer plate bonnet plate, (just the centre, black and silver) i could go on and on, If there isn't some where why isn't there some where? there is a demand for it obviously not enough for mass production, but some of road parts company must do it.

CJ1 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Wrap around bull bars are available for Freelanders, Sump Guards are already fitted to them, exhaust guards on ebay available, heavy duty clutches are available as I have just had one fitted to mine, but mine came with a second hand engine from a salvage yard, but the rest I don't know.

FridgeFreezer Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The plastic acoustic baffle is NOT a sump guard! Pondering making a few sump guards, dunno what people would be willing to pay for 'em though as LR owners are mostly tightwads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ1 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The panel that bolts onto the underneath is called a sump guard and engine tray though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm pretty sure Land Rover don't call it a guard. Whatever - it's a bit of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 where do i find the wrap around bullbar? looking for mantect stlye sump guard thats offers some protection as the plastic one was ripped off after 1 greenlane. i'll keep an eye out for the heavy duty clutch, and the exhaust guard on eBay, although is good prefer the solid mantec one with receiver hitch. thanks for the replies, the optimist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Sump guards exist. RJF had one on his Freelander when we went to Wales in 2011. It was alloy I believe, and the welds failed under use so perhaps not the best built example. But they are out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 what sort of price would you be looking for fridgefreezer? The price of a big bit of decent aluminium plus the time taken to cut & shape, plus postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco_Mikey Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Price dependant, I would be interested in a sump guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ1 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I would be interested in a metal sump guard dependant on price, but my tightness with money isn't out of choice with the £2.5k just spent on my Freelander lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
