    converting freelander to 2wd?

    A friend just bought a freelander and learned that it had been converted by the previous owner to 2wd. How difficult would this have been, and why would anyone do that? What would be required to return it to 4wd? Thanks.

    Heated Windshield

    If I were you I would definitely get the heated windshield. They are a damn sight more expensive than the non-heated ones, but you get lots of use out of it in an Ontario winter - I wouldn't do without it up here in Ottawa. The insurance company were going to replace mine in my disco II with a...

    Roof Rack with tent

    Good idea. Something like this would have been really nice to have back in the days when I was out camping in the Egyptian desert, as it was not so good to be camping on the ground because of the risk of scorpions. On the other hand, there is usually a lot of wind in the desert, and I would...

    Why a RRC?

    Having owned (from new) both an early (1971) BMW 2002 and an Alfa Romeo Alfetta (1976) I can say they were both beautiful handling cars - and both made you feel rather special. The Alfetta was in fact a bit livlier, handled better, and was roomier as a family sedan - we had three small...
