It was the steel sump guard that was missing on the Freelander2.

You are probably right - the Freelander 1 was plastic. Our Freelander 2 was G4 - so Mantec aluminium. Current DS is plastic, I know this because it is damaged and hanging down, will be removed once it stops |

Firstly, how many of you out there have a fuel tank guard?

As I said earlier, the sump and tank guards were not standard fitment, only on G4 variants.

This is a very confused topic! The steel (as fitted from the factory) engine under tray (AKA sump guard) is really just thin plate and is intended to keep mud and crud from the underside of the car and also helps with noise reduction as it should have an acoustic blanket attached. Its not really any protection for any serious offroading. The Freelander 2 from the factory did not have a fuel tank guard fitted. If your only doing forest tracks then you should not need one. The engine tray is probably propping up a wall in a workshop somewhere! |

Don, you are very probably right. The guard i purchased is actually quite heavy.
