I notice that it feels slugish reversing and pulling off my drive
your vcu is ok by the sounds of it.(the two halfs of the vcu do not move independently).and as for the lock to lock test, all freelanders do it so don't think you need to worry. nice freelander by the way,looks cool with those tyresThanks for the warm welcome.
After reading a few posts I may also have a VCU fault or do I??
Put some marks on the VCU went for a drive and the line on the prop shaft from the engine side has moved. I also put 3 lines on the 2 halves of the VCU and the rear prop shaft, these have all stayed in line
When I tested the car I tried the lock to lock back and forth test and all seemed fine - moved on tickover with no revs but when I got it home I notice that it feels slugish reversing and pulling off my drive - initially put this down to the Big tyres and not having a 4x4 before!
Apart from that all is fine - not sure on the fuel ecomomy yet but I filled up and have done 75 miles and the needle has not reached the full marker on the gauge yet.
Cheers,
Hi,
Just joined the club, bought my '52 Freelander Td4 last week, sure I will be making enquiries in the future !
How much can you get those BFG All Terrain tyres for? They look great! My TD4 will need tyres in the next couple of months and fancy some of those. Are they noisy and do they wear well?
Cheers
Rog
