Greetings from leafy Dorset.
I'm a retired old fart with an '05 TD4 Freelander auto which we use to tow our caravan.
It's been ultra reliable up to now but has developed a judder from the transmission when cornering which has been traced to the VCU. I've now got to decide on the way forward.
I'm leaning toward a reconditioned unit from Bell Engineering. Anyone out there used them? Are they good?

Hello and welcome

Have you checked out Ashcrofts

@Colthebrummie had a recon unit + bearings from Bell. He’s not one to waste money so I’d say it’s a good shout.

Thank you good people & others.
Ordered a VCU from Bells yesterday & it arrived this morning. That's what I call good service
Now just need to get it fitted & the old one sent off to Bells. I'll update when it's fitted & been tested.
