Hi
I am a first time owner of a Freelander TD4. I went for this because it had the BMW engine and I thought it would be a safe bet
1st problem...................
I have just had a full service and the VCU replaced today at 78k with a Recon unit and now there is an oil leak at the prop joint nearest the engine (sorry I am not really mechanically minded) It has a sort of small rubber gaiter around it and the oil is seeping from the bottom of the unit (not from the gaiter) and it has thrown oil all over the exhaust and back the length of the car. I am taking it back tomorrow but just want to know if it is going to do damage driving it like this? And what is the likely problem? I have just paid £900 for all this and to be honest am less than happy the leak was 100% not there before!!
2nd problem...................
There is an inline filter I can see through the drivers side front wheel arch that is connected one side but not the other!! It doesn't seem to be leaking but just wondering if this is normal?
3rd problem.....................
The heated screen only seems to clear a very small strip in the middle of the screen.......Any advice?
4th and final problem (for now)................
Where can I buy the engine cowling, rubbers and bolts from?
Thanks in advance
Mike
