I've been told that a Freelander will tend to float away before a snorkel is needed! :lol:
Seriously, if you want a laning tool I would go for either modding the Freelander or buying a rot-free Disco. They're a lot more comfortable than a Defender and I've yet to find anything sensible that mine won't handle.

Any truth to the rumour that door seals are now listed in the parts system as "water filter"? That's all mine seem to do... filter the fish out of the rivers that run through my footewell!

We've just gone with a 2" lift and BFG AT's. Although she liked the look of my Kumho KL71's. My wife won't let me fit a snorkel because she knows I'd use it!!

I've a pretty good idea what I want to do to the Freelander if that's the way I go. If you don't mind me asking, who fitted / supplied the lift-kit for your Freelander? And how much was it?

I've had a look at my door seals, and come to the conclusion that they'd be fine if some wally at Land Rover hadn't cut chunks out of them. I've heard the excuse that they "let water in so you don't float away" yet the Land Cruiser, Pajero, etc seem to manage perfectly well without this "feature"...
Annoying thing is that simply buying new seals won't do it as they will also have the silly cutouts. I'm considering methods of filling the gaps. I don't end up swimming but I'd rather not have to clean the mud off the plastic trims and wait for the carpet to dry out.
