Has anyone heard of drifting, to the left in particular, on Freelanders?
Obviously I know the score with looking for the usual causes but wondered about any specifics on these vehicles.

Saw one over Easter that had apparently drifted on to its side on the M1. Didn't dare mention it until now in case Mark had another attack of apoplexy.

In common with all LR products, 'drifting to the left' is what happens when you turn the steering wheel anticlockwise ( a couple of turns should take the slack out of it!)
Clockwise will produce a similar drift to the right 'eventually'.
Pressing the middle pedal will produce extra noise, vibration and a burning smell - and a sensation of going marginally slower.
Right pedal - same but marginally less slow.
Britisher Architekt, as they used to say in the 800 adverts!
Enjoy!

David,
This isn't the Scrapyard Challenge Freelander amphibious conversion is it?
Those scuttle plates were never going to be strong enough for the mooring warps, and it will just drift off into the distance.
Then again,
Stuart

Don't get a Freelander. Get an X-Trail. The 6-speed diese is as brilliant off road as on.
