    You need a winch on the Freelander just in case and tow hooks oh, and keep a sling in the boot. Then you can either rescue someone or, get rescued.

    • @L663

      The concept with the Freelander 2 is to keep it as simple as possible so probably no winch but we do need to add some way to facilitate recovery and some basic recovery gear.

    The Freelander is much underrated and berated. I had a TD4 that was better on ice than my Disco because of the low centre of gravity - less tendency to slide into the curb. The most surprising was the Panda 4x4 - I ran one of those for Invicta Radio around everything the Defenders were doing

      It is fair to say we have given your spacers a good test - when we have the new 2 post lift fitted in the workshop we will give them a good inspection. But your spacers are one of the best modifications you can make to a Freelander 2 !

      There is no low range box which was not really a problem - certainly if i had an auto box it would be much easier on the clutch. The Defender has the roof tent on at the moment so not suited to the low hanging branches..... at the end of the summer I will take the roof tent off and go out in the Defender again !

    Great video Simon. Saw you there actually but didn’t realise it was you. Mine was the dark blue Disco 2 that you commented on 4 mins 20 into the vid. X578 JVP. We go to Slindon regularly so give me a shout if you go again and you can follow me and my mate in the red Range Rover Classic which you might also have seen there. Watched loads of your other vids and they are very informative and interesting but your Slindon one was one of your best. You certainly didn’t hold back and the car did well too. So let me know if you go again. Kevin.
