I would use red rubber grease. As not petroleum based it won't affect rubber seals or gaskets.

Where do I start? Replaced rear window regulator, and now trying to figure out if the weird sh1t it is doing is normal. Finally got rear door to open (Helps when you fit a fuse :) ), but that's another post. Tried to fix no reversing lights, and after bulbs and multi meter figured out most...

Okay, pictures uploaded via the computer. So some one has wired a new supply from main fuse box (inc its own fuse) to the back door. door works as it should (ish) with following weird crap (or standard freelander silliness) 1) Rear door works on the Handel perfect, but only if the key is in...

On a phone buy ill try from computer.

I got that sorted. Double jointed and a spanner....

But would vcu bearing not still hum when clutch in and freewheeling. When I clutch and freewheel no hum.

Okay. Working on back door of a 2204, 2.00 TD4 facelift F1. Got it working by fitting a fuse. Seems someone took a new power supply to the rear door, separate fuse etc.. I would post photos but system says I don't have authority. Basically new supply from fuse box with its own external fuse...

Thanks. In relation to the pre face lift door, I'm going to strip out the window regulator. Solenoid etc, to have spares. Keep door just in case. As the door is off the old car, how do I get the window glass down to unbolt from the regulator.?. Any ideas?. Have a 12 volt battery and if anyone...

When you say command are different, what is that?. I've had new VCU bearings fitted, and would they not still be running when I clutch and freewheel..

Finally got my 3 door hippo on the road. Few items coming up needing resolved.. 2004. 2.00 TD4. 3 door. 1. Are the rear doors on a feelander one pre and post facelift basically the same?. Might need to change rear door...and have a pre facelift door I picked up. 2. Is it better to get a...

Kinda defeats the work i've done if I disconnect therear prop shaft.....TD4 2.00 Diesel. At what I bought her for, and the cost to date, she'd worth forking out for a recon IRD if I have to. Just trying to figure out ways of checking if IRD or box. Pretty sure its one or the other. VCU...

Me too. Need a set.

Carrier bearings for VCU already replaced. Rear diff was knocking and clunking and needed replaced, with all new Mountings. That's done. Hum not from Bearings to VCU or DIFF. Only appears when in gear and under throttle. I am swaying towards IRD or box. or if I am really unlucky, both.

Ohh , forgot to mention. She's hard to get into gear (Consider this a new clutch job, so not really a concern). But in turn, there is a bit of a hum, which seems to be the gearbox or IRD. Clutch in no hum, freewheel, no hum. So not likely a bearing or diff. Going to get mechanic to do a...

Okay. been following this for a while. Bought a 3 Door 2004 Hippo. About 2 years ago. Add Covid and a divorce, only getting her sorted now. Through MOT yesterday (yes a Sunday. we have a 4 month waiting lists on MOT dates here. it is mental... Couple things needed for re-test in 2 weeks, but...

Following up on this, With Covit and shutdown, I am taking the opportunity to take a close look at this. Issue currently is that central locking is now not working. wont lock or unlock the doors. Rear door is locked, and will not open. Any idea where I start to find why central locking will...
