dave21478 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi,Is anyone breaking a freelander or have you spotted one in your local scrappy? I need a front subframe bolt and have drawn a blank locally and my nearest main dealer is a 1.5 hour drive away and they are as helpful as a hefty kick in the nuts. The front subby is held on by two big M14 bolts about 12cm long which go vertically into the chassis legs at the front and some smaller bolts at the rear. I need one of the big ones. They are a fine thread pitch and a high hardness rating so I also cant find any normal bolt to replace it with from a local fasteners place. If anyone can bag one for me and post it, I will be eternally grateful, obviously I will cover price, postage etc. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 There aren't any decent yards near me but I'd be happy to help with onward postage etc if the bits can be sourced from UK ebay / dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Fairly sure my local one will have one in, I might be up there next weekend so if you're still looking by then I'll enquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Cheers.I realise I could probably get one from an ebay breaker, but would rather put cash in the pocket of a shite-ist than an ebay business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselassist Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have a tub of landrover freelander bolts down in my unit; I got them off a mate when he was scrapping a freelander 2000 diesel from memory - I can take a look/spill out the tub n check if any of the bolts you describe are there.. this one he broke had a heavy whack at the front - I remember giving him a hand choppin managled bits of the front off with a grinder, so its a possibility they were still on the shell when he weighed it in....

overrun Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 http://www.landroversparesnortheast.com/ If they have what you need and will sell it, but want too much to post, I will grab it and whack it in an envelope. filthyjohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave21478 Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks all, but I have now found one.For those that give a rats.....the rear axle of a Kangoo is held on by exactly the same bolts. I found this out by twatting my head on one in a scrappy. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
