whats custom about it

Looking at mine the other day and thought it looks terrible the metal insert is all scratched from i presume my wedding ring Sad


Now thats interesting Shocked Norwegians wear the wedding ring on the right hand and our steering wheel is on the left which means the gear shift is used by the wedding ring hand Shocked

That will in turn mean, that all married Freelys owners will have scratched knobs Whistle 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

New wheels fitted Cool looking good, coolness factor has increased by 15 CG's. Whistle
Mrs G however remains unmoved just sees it a serious waste of shoe and handbag buying cash.

It was interesting to note that nuts are used rather than studs, so much easier to put the wheels on Thumbs Up and somebody has applied a healthy amount of copper grease to the hubs to prevent the alloys welding onto the hubs. probably the factory as I doubt that my dealer has ever taken the wheels off ?

Anyone ever posting wheels to buyers etc may like to know that each wheel/tyre weighs 28kg there was a little sticker on mine stating so At work

So Mrs G found a novel use for the new wheels - running over our little dog Evil or Very Mad , The poor little thing yelped badly then ran round the garden a couple of times, before collapsing at my feet a shaking wreck Sad .
Happily it appears to have made a full recovery, albeit with a bruised back leg, Mrs G is guilt ridden.

How could anyone run over her? bless Crying or Very sad




Nb. the dog is a nutter and loves playing with wheels, hopefully this near do may ultimately prevent further accidents At work
