Hi Everyone.
I'm new to this site - hoping I can get some good advice.
I bought a 2004 td4 ES freelander in Sep 14. I test drove it and fell in love with it and bought it without giving it a really good check. It has 105K and almost a full SH.
It came from Scotland and has been used off road etc.
I have since had it fully serviced and mechanic confirms engine is really good. It is however due an MOT in about a week and mechanic said it has the following issues:
1. slight oil leak from rear diff (mechanic says it is full however)
2. knocking noise from rear left wheel when driving - also inside of tyre is worn (otherwise really good tread on rest of tyre)
3. All underside has surface corrosion and it probably needs sealing
4. Front Brake hoses are corroded - although brakes have new discs and pads on front.
I am more concerned at the moment about the rear wheel. Looking on the forum - could it be bearings, bushes, seals etc or is it more likely to be related to the rear diff?
Hoping you guys can give me some advice and it wont cost too much to get sorted.
I live in Manchester.
Cheers
