@Missing link, thanks for the info. Appreciate it! Tried to download the Rave disc, but couldn't get it to open.

Not really noticeable at all to be honest, old tyre got a split in it.

I just went for another quick spin there. Couldn't get the traction control to come on this time. But it feels like its the rears that are skipping. All the wheels and tyres are the same size/ brand. 1 front tyre is new though. I will do the tip ex test on the VCU later to see if there is any...

The fob has nothing to do with the key? Good call on the Viscous Coupling though! Will check it out. Thanks for the info

OK, since buying the freelander a few days ago, i have come across 2 problems. The first one is one of the keys. When inserted in the ignition barrel, it will turn all the electrics on, but will not turn the engine over. I know this is a problem with the key, as my spare key work every time...

Waterford, Ireland

Beautiful country up there! Was up in the Wicklow mountains not long ago. Did you not go to the Nobber off road day today?

Hi All, Just a quick hello to introduce myself. I'm a pure Yorkshire man, currently living in ROI. I drive a 98 Freelander estate, 2.0TD that i got this week! It will be an on going project/ daily driver. Anyway, howdy all from Ireland!! Matt
