If they are planning to cut down on the actual mechanical side of the programme,

Presumably they are trying to turn it into another "Car SOS"

The design has been applied by some sort of printing/transfer process.

If they don't sell then I will just use one as a spare which seems a shame if there is someone out there who will actually appreciate them. I have put a message on the VW T4 forum but so far there has been no interest.

Who puts wheels like this on their vehicle?

I've just removed them from my van - hopefully someone will want to buy them!

I was looking to get back into classic ownership recently but had lost touch with how prices had been going over the last few years. What I really wanted was a 3 litre Mk1 Capri - but then I saw what these cost nowadays! Never mind I thought I could get my second choice a Datsun 240Z - then I saw th...

My recollection was that Sir John was aghast that someone was cutting body panels from sheet material using hand shears rather than power shears. He had no argument with Morgan hand building the cars but was pointing out that with certain improvements they could hand build them more efficiently with...

Thank you for the advice on the T4, I to have been looking at them but couldn't cope with anything too asthmatic on the steep stuff, especially when wanting to keep up with traffic.

I ended up buying a VW T4 1.9 turbo diesel which was very good except that it was s...

In my case it's got nothing to do with washing the car as I never wash it!

I have now got myself a couple of chocks and use them instead of the handbrake if I expect the car will not be used the next day.

Thanks tractorman. Just to clarify that the Mk1 Freelander does not have a transmission brake - the handbrake operates the rear drum brakes in a conventional manner.

Maybe I will resort to chocking the wheels if I know I'm not going to use the car the next day.

I have a 2003 Freelander TD4. If I don't use it for more than a day the rear brakes seem to stick on. When I try to drive off the brakes are resisting, then there is a rather alarming bang and they come free and everything is back to normal. This had been happening for quite a while now. I took the ...
