Nice looking example there! Well done. We did 400+km in ours today. They are a nice drive.
Keep the updates coming!

You can’t call it “the hippo” - that’s what we call ours! 🤣

Yes - Hippo is the generic name for the Freelander 1 - so giving your Fl1 the name Hippo is like calling your dog, "Dog".

Hi All,
Over the last few weeks the Hippo has been getting a lot more use, and naturally something started to go cluck, clunk, clunk..
Long story short - I had the 3 x rear diff bushes replaced, both rear shocks and both rear shock mounts..
It is a lot quieter now!
Cheers,
GG.

You probably didn't need to do all three mounts - just the front one. It takes all the weight of the front of the diff and they get chewed out really quick and the back then goes knock, knock, knock.
Now that you have done this work - the knock will be back in about 50,000km - not an easy job at home and if you can kid someone to do it for you all the better

Today the Hippo got a aet of 4 new tyres. As with everything hippo related - the tyre size is a bit weird.
First tyre place said “you can’t get that size”. Interesting considering that they are on the car.
Second tyre place said “that’s a weird size - we can only find 8 in the country”
Sorted!

"Dog" is a perfectly good name for a dog.
