    rough idle when warm

    Sorry to interject, but what thread did you get picture from as I'm having problem in areas circled. I have also lumpy idle when I turn heater on, but not all the time, maybe weather or temp dependant. When I sort it I'll let you know, maybe Mac.

    what's missing?

    I have a td4 freelander, lacking in low down power. I have had a quick look around the engine bay. Whether or not it's the cause, it certainly ain't right. Got a pipe with a filter on end that goes nowhere? It is a vacuum pipe as sucks when engine revs. Anyone know what it's purpose is and where...

    VCU General opinions at 70k

    ????dont think anyone would commit to a definitive answer tbh. from what ive read, depending on age, mileage, i'd check it anyway you feel is fairly indicative of condition or get it changed for peace of mind if you're keeping the car

    I'm planning on making a mechanical replacement for the VCU!

    omg ive just read 11 pages only to find someone was right about 10 pages back that it probably aint worth the hassle. wish he'd have come up with something though, more for additional peace of mind but as been stated, think i'll just replace vcu and take care of my tyres, less grief/cost in the...

    VCU General opinions at 70k

    err there are one or two to say the least:) anyhows, i think ive got the general gist. its a bit tight on lock but not scrubbing badly. i'll do some of the tests to see what results i get (hopefully help other folks too) and get it changed along with tyres shortly as they don't match.

    VCU General opinions at 70k

    Wow thanks for all the information guys, I'd done some research prior but bell is only down the road from us. And in response to an earlier post, no the tyres don't match at the moment but I'll get onto that too. The decision is bell or genuine but as stated damned if I do or don't lol

    VCU General opinions at 70k

    I'm picking up a 2003 freelander td4 tonight against my better judgement having read around the forum:) However, its a genuine car with full history and the missis is dead set on one. The question is, is the VCU considered a service item? in light of all the problems that can arise if/when it...

    face lifted freelander wanted

    [BOUGHT ONE] Hi guys I'm looking for a face lift freelander around a 53 04 plate as budget probably won't stretch to one much newer. I'm located in the Midlands and don't mind travelling 30-40 miles. Let me know what you have or pm me thanks

    I can't possibly read 38 pages to find out whats best!!!! decent 200s getting a little hard to find at reasonable money, is the 300 a compromise or is all this banter just splitting hairs?????
