Sounds like the gas pressure is low. Low pressure prevents compressor clutch from activating to prevent compressor damage.
If it is only just low then I guess hot temperatures could allow it to make the required pressure and operate the switch...
2mm chequer plate works well.
To remove the old cradle you have to drop the subframe so not much to be gained with bars only. Lower cost and easier to manage into position but would always fit all the metal work to match the original.

Mine ran on for a short time when the HP pump seals...
Always got an ear out for Freelander spares. A guy near me has a new rain cover with all the fittings. Brand new. He is looking for £275 which seems to be the going rate. Although pricey for what they are !!
PM if interested and I will put you...
The reason it worked with no ABS ring is that the system you have is a magnetic ring on the wheel bearing which influences the ABS sensor magnetically.
If you have a periodic fault then it is working but not all the time.
Suggest a broken...
Ears can deceive and noises tend to transmit down body and propshaft etc.
An easy check and a very likely cause is the VCU bearings.
Simply unbolt and support the VCU clear of body then spin them by hand on the prop.
Check for backlash (free...
That is one of the 'pawls'. There is one for each dip and rise in the key. When correct key goes in they all line up level and the key will turn.
If it works with it out then all you have done is reduced the security a bit as another similar key...
Suppose it is possible that knackered injectors and a duff MAF may have been happy together and then making them injectors good upset things??
How is power, with and without MAF connected??
Shafts are same except sensor ring yes.
I would check fault codes. Sounds like a sensor may be damaged. Use a diagnostic like PScan and you can observe the speed of each wheel. If they are not the same then that one is faulty !
