That's pretty cool, but, doesn't the console ashtray sits on the bracket?

Thank you!

Hello Is it possible to tell me what is the part number of the rear bracket that secures the console? I'm doing the same to my XEDI Freelander here in Portugal, I have every bits, except the bracket... Thanks in advance

Ok mate. Thank you.

Very cool. I have read a post of @jonaf about the 12,500 cst. As I only have 120 ml, tomorrow I will try to inject some more 30 or 40 ml and then put the wheels spinning on a workshop ramp (elevator) and see if the VCU "locks"

Thumbs up man :) Really great post. In the meanwille I will try different grades of silicone oil, next try will be on 30,000 cst, if the beauvior is not of satisfaction, I will try higher. The quantity of 150 ml is the same for all the grades?

Ok. That is really cool :) And on tarmac on small manouvres did you feel any drag, like when the VCU is completely seized? I ask this because I am testing different grades of silicone oil to see what is the best for an everyday use and some ocasional greenlaning.

Thanks a bunch! What is the beaviour of your Freelander? Does it "lock" when front loses traction? As I see from your DIY I am using low grade silicone oil and also small quantity...

Yeah, I know it is not an easy task, I already created a machine to clean the VCU with a TD5 fuel pump...

lol But... Can you give me an hint? A link... of where to buy such fluid? I have a group of friends that also own Freelanders and I am trying to help them to restore te 4x4 abbilities, I'm using my Freelande as pacient 0, after I get it rigth I can help them in "pro bono"

Hi! I have read that silicone oil is the one to put on the VCU. Am I wrong? Thanks

Hi! I have tried to change the fluid of my Freelander's VCU, then I used RC Diff Silicone oil grade 12,500 cst, about 120 ml, tried to do some axle crossing and the VCU did not "lock", the rear diff was "dead". What is the amount of oil that I have to use? Or the grade? Thanks :)
