See you tomorrow

£300 all in including bearings

GibboGTI - I had Bell replace my VCU last year and it's been faultless since and a great price too. I had Mark Smith in Bicester (Land Rover specialist) quote £700 plus to do it :-(

I just got my VCU and bearings from Bell sent to me here in France yesterday. It will be a project the weekend after next - along with the front diff mount. I know what you mean about the tightness on the cornering and am looking forward to something a bit easier. Having said that, I love driving my Freelander and it makes a very comfy ride after my old Jeep Cherokee Mk 1

Thanks lads 300 pounds sounds very good will be 1 of my first jobs to get done ive driven the freelander and no hint of it being tight but will still get it done:hijacked:

Well what can I say? Austen replaced my VCU yesterday and it feels like a totally different car So smooth to drive and on the way home felt more responsive, wish I'd done it earlier lol. Cheers Austen

Glad you are happy with the result

Hi,

Does anyone know why the how to guide for the bearings and VCR was removed?
I'm hoping to do this next weekend

I don't know why Hippo, removed the guide, it was great to follow how to chang the bearings. I used it myself recently when I changed mine.

Have a look at the thread below. Just after the first couple of post's there is a link to a Utube video which shows what to do. But don't follow everything shown, he has gone about it in a very hard way.
