Morning All.
As it's now festival season, and I'll be attending plenty of muddy fields, I've bought myself a freelander which seemed to fit the bill nicely. 2000 reg, long MOT and in pretty good nick.
Now - firstly the HDC orange light is on, which I understand is pretty common. I have read that this can be due to a loose wheel sensor - is this fixable easily?
Secondly - both front CV joints are knocking themelves to death. Not the end of the world, I was just wondering if this is DIYable with a decent set of tools and a pair of axel stands? I'm no mechanic, but I'm competent enough I reckon if this is do-able on the drive?
No other huge problems seem apparent - it does seem that the reliability record is pretty dismal but it just needs to last me the summer! Any advice on these two issues would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Felix
