Is this not getting a bit out of hand now
Doug saw some funky tyres on a freelander ata driving day and now is going for the whole space frame, rollcages custom built kit.
Stick to getting some oil into the gearbox - there not water lubricated, and a quick touch of hammerite on the bonnet.

My tyres are the dogs off road, and as for capabilites, the freebie is as good as the Disco, I recall the last driving day, one or five discos getting stuck where my freebie managed through. Go for it Doug, build a disco chomping freebie! ill start you off want to buy mine?

lol, freebies do shock some of the old school with how much they can do.
has anyone any knowledge about the engines, is it possible to re-map them? adjusting idle speed would it allow the car to creep slower on tick over?lower its chances of stalling at low speed

Could find Lauryn and I at the next GRR in her Nana's Freelander if the 110 keeps being a pressure cooker. No way!! ??

Converting to automatic should help with the slow speed work.
Just a thought.

Heh you guys,
Freebie may not be butch but it's a really handy competant little tool (no inuendo intended!).
Again, take a gander at this month's LRO Issue 1 2011 Jan - couple of interesting relavant articles.

Hi Doug,
November's LRO (pp 54-58) had a useful article on a guy in the Flatlands who bought a cheap 134,000 mile manual Freebie and did some mods to make it more suitable for off-roading (greenlaning
).
Good article - and I was thinking of you when I read it - assuming you'd be on to it like a tiger onto a goat ....
