Nope, but only coz my landy is an old (and better) one!

Read through the issues, and that's a very worrying problem! How/why are the hub assemblies coming off? Whats the difference between these newer ones, and the older ones?

Dunno, but I do know they used to be put together by machines that I installed .. Desoutter/Georges Renault torque tightening equipment used to build up the hubs and tighten the assembly fasteners simultaneously through a very precise sequence using torque and angle .. I'd guess that isn't being used now ..

Love the warning that losing the front hub & suspension could cause steering problems. Would never have thought of that..

I'd still rather have a defender with 3 wheels, than a freelander with 4!
