75 Tourer 4x4
Does anyone know if a 75 tourer 4x4 conversion has been done apart from the factory one,if not it could be my next project.

I'd like to know when these creations are available to buy sorry, can't actually answer your question but good luck and can't wait to see it if and when you complete it.

Unfortunately cannot answer your question but suspect not...... I have always wondered if you could squeeze in an X5 drivetrain in a 260 ZTT body? A 3litre straight six unit with X drive would be fab imo.

There was someone looking for a single mass flywheel.on facebook a couple of days ago. Stating it was for such a conversion but no other details were forthcoming.

As far as i know the only 4WD is the x power grey tourer factory prototype which was saved and is in good fettle. See below.

As far as I know no other has ever been produced. I'm surprised no one else has made one as I think most if all parts are from a freelander? think the engine, gearbox, driveshaft diff etc were all from a freelander in this one. |

There are far better 4x4 drivetrains out there. Over time the viscous coupling stiffens up and that puts a strain on the entire system and can wear out the IRD gearbox and rear diff. The Freelander 2 haldex differential would be an improvement, but they aren't without their own faults. |

wonder if the freelanders owners club would have come up with a fix for the problem by now? |
