Does anyone else have problems with their centre carrier bearing ?
I've had my 2002 esx Freelander for over 2 years now...centre carrier bearing was good up until a good few months ago, took it to garage and they replaced both at the same time. I supplied the part n it was britpart the ones they pulled off were the originals which I thought was good going given cars age. The parts I bought lasted 3 weeks n same whirring noise happened but it was down to a faulty part sent it back n got reimbursed for part n labour, then got garage to fix it again only this I got them to get the part since then it's now jus started whirring again only after about 6/7 months of it being replaced. Is this a common thing or should I just spend out the extra cash and get land rover genuine parts than wasting my money on aftermarket. Any one any advice or tips?
Also while I'm doing a thread I'm looking to put an outside thermometer in my Freelander I saw a thread and there was one with a user called 50cc who posted a pic of a digital thermometer that was fitted into the ashtray of the centre console. I just wanted to know if anyone knew where it was bought as link doesn't work no more
or does anyone know where I could buy one that I can wire up so it doesn't depend on batteries also I'd prefer it to have a green backlight checked on eBay and can only seem to find ones which are either too big or it's a blue or orange backlight. There are some green backlit ones but they are too wide as I really want to fit into the car dash or make it integrated somehow.
Apologies for the length and being fussy but if anyone has suggestions they'd be most welcome and if I find the right thermometer myself ill put up details where I got it and photos of it installed
