A Galaxy far far away.......
I was doing the tippex test on my VCU, I marked what I thought was the correct positions, made a few left and right hand turns, stopped looked under the hippo only to see the two tippex marks still in the exact same position:confused:.

Well needless to say my back side nearly fell out :mooning:.

So there I was thinking O ****!!!!!!

Until I touched the VCU, and to my suprise it was warm, My backside slowly sucked itself back in.

I had only marked the wrong parts:doh: marked the right parts and there was movement.


But my Million $ question is. " How stiff is stiff" on a VCU before it starts to fail? There is resistance when turning, but I have been told this is normal? Is there any way to tell if its starting to sieze up?

Is there a Torque figure for a new VCU, tested on the bench.
 
seen it, is this a new VCU and correct torque rating then?

Sorry but new to Freelander, So I may bore some experienced freelander owners with my questions.

I may need a :fish: if I pull up old questions.
 
A few people tested thier VCU and posted the results on a thread. The torque figures varied massively on VCU's that all seemed to work O.K.
 
Hmmmm!!! I wonder when its hotter like in the summer, these things lock up more causing problems?

Is that why people go mondo in the summer? what does "MONDO" actually mean. I know it means remove you props and go 2wd, but who thought up the name?
