Hi Newbie here.
No doubt I am going to ask the usual newbie questions but at least your answers will be well rehearsed.
My father has gone away for xmas and has left me with his freelander diesel on a W reg to look after. I have used it occasionally and I find it a pig of a vehicle.
When maneuvering it feels like the brakes are jammed on, when I turn into a junction or go around a roundabout the rear wheels knock and judder as if the wheel is bouncing on the road like the diff is bound up or something.
Other than that its fine and actually quite pleasant to drive. Bit thirsty mind and the heater is crap.
Also its not a very good starter in the mornings and takes a lot of winding over to get her to fire up. I suspect the Glow Plugs are knackered any advise or tips before I change them?
Many thanks
