    Does it still drop when you open the door and raise when you close it?

    At work, we can now get 300+ah lithium batteries out of China for basically the same price as we source 2 x 120ah lead acid locally.

    Don't muck around trying to sort the locking nuts out, just get 5 Freelander wheel nuts from a breakers and get those locking ones taken off. Miraculously, my local stealer removed them free of charge, I followed him round the car putting the...

    Good suggestions above. Which solenoid? I presume you mean starter. There is a fuel cut off solenoid on these I believe on the bulk head. Might be faulty. I believe you press to reset it, might be worth giving it a press and seeing if the...

    Is that the same company that built computer keyboards 20 or 30 years ago? If so they've come on a bit. 😊

    Ah yes! I saw these a while ago, but it looks like they stopped developing them and only have the fronts left in stock, I will shoot them an email to see if they are available upon request :)

    I think @htr used springs from this outfit... https://dobinsons.com/ On their site, they quote a 30mm lift (more travel?) but I'm sure @htr said he got 20mm.

    £50k for a Cherry. Yeh, fook right off. Ali's decent proper Freelander is much better value at £50k. Or, for £50k, you could buy a decent proper Freelander and a lifetime of diesel.

    The odds are that the VCU is knackered if its never been changed. However, also make sure that the car has been maintained with the same make/model of tyres on all corners as a mismatched tyre has the affect of 'engaging' the VCU because the...

    This is true, but it won't be 'freely' because it will also need to turn all the props, 2 diffs and another wheel. So it won't be like spinning the wheel on a 'normal' car, but it will turn quite freely.

    Hope it fixes the problem. There doesn't have to be a question in a post. Observations and general chat are just as much part of LZ as questions.

    Thank you. Have since removed the master from the car and "un-built" it 😅 Following removal it looks like the seal for the fill under the actual container was very cracked leaking and just falling to bits, some other seals were good and others...
