vcu

i was talking to a chap this week with a freelander who works in a automotive college in liverpool. his vcu seized at 53000mls, he took it off clamped one side in a huge vice, put a large bar on the other end & spent the next 2 hours turning it ( with a lot of effort to begin with). he then put it back on the car, the car now has 84000mls on it & he reckons its still working well, ive got no reason not to belive him so what do you think???????

one happy chappy!

ive got no reason not to belive him so what do you think?

I think you do have a reason not to believe him...

It might not be siezed but is it giving any drive to the rear wheels ?

i was always under the impression ......once its ****ed .....its ****ed !!!!! :mil8:

VCU Probs?

Have a look at this 1st

Good video that.

load of crap - did ya see who posted it ?

No. But I hear he's filmed it again, with different weights as a comparison, with times for each test. He plans to remove the prop/vcu to bench test that, for comparison too.

he's a bugger then - coz i aint seen his results in the test results fred

Don't think he's uploaded it yet. Not had time to glue the clips togther. vcu won't come off until the weekend fer bench testin. I'll let him know your concerned.

nope - i aint concerned - just worrited coz i mite have missed the results - yu can tell him, though, that I am sure his testing will be appreciated by all at some point in the future .
