Thought I'd add another 2 pics I took at the other yard where the wife's horse lives this one's on a farm site so iso container came in useful as a back drop

Also made progress on the club trailer,

New axle lined up and prepped with the removal of the old one and new one clamped in place just sorting distance for the edges then fit the wheel arch covers and it's only electrics left to do

Well haven't done anything for the past few weeks on the car but have finally finished the club trailer.

All the electrics now complete new axle fitted and wheel arches mounted and painted.

What do we think?

Also due to owning a horse and my car not suited for yards and towing horse boxes I've managed to purchase this for the wife's first car.

It's very easy for her to drive and needs a little work but I couldn't say no at the price he was offering

I am well aware she isn't Jap and I did look for a jap 4x4 but nothing in the price range I was looking at.

So welcome our new landrover freelander

Nothing with wrong with a "Landy".

No I agree I needed one that wasn't huge and didn't have a large engine so things like a shogun was out and so was most rav4s. Heard to many bad stories about the old CRV and the HRV although being cool looking wasn't powerful enough to tow horse box.

Got offered this needs a waterpump so will change cam belt aswell but almost had a shock when I saw the price for a kit it's only £50

What model is it? The TDi? they should be able to manage no problems


Supercharged Lexus IS200 SE - Lexuspat - 28-12-2023

Only an Xi petrol but still plenty powerful for towing

Well the other day I was stood looking at the trailer and decided to adjust the axle a little more and to tidy the wheels up a little

And of course add some more decals to the other side.

On the Landrover front I need to replace to front passenger door as there is a bit of rust damage on the lower panel so luckily a salvage yard not far away has one so will be popping down there to pick it up soon another minor task done

GOOD WORK on the trailer mate looks brilliant. Not as good as the pics of the car of course, need to get some more of mine really.


Supercharged Lexus IS200 SE - Lexuspat - 03-01-2024

I'm sure I can help there
