Hi, The other night after a few cold mornings I decided to try to get the FBH working. I did the fuse #5 thing and the FBH fired up... well when I say fired up I mean it started to whine and the exhaust started blowing out cold air. This morning it is -1 here so I thought it would be a good...

I have had a set of hankooks (dynapro at or something) for almost two years now. They have done just over 20k and are still going strong. Good grip and good wear and werent too expensive if i remember correctly. Hope that helps.

The creaking noise is back 2 days after replacing the vcu and reconnecting the propshaft. Also the droning/whining noise mostly appears to be on power. Also when going slow in a high gear the noise from the back doesnt sound good. All of these noises stopped when the propshaft was off. If its...

The droning noise seems to let up when I take my foot off the power, although I will make sure tonight. When its underpowered it makes a wild racket as well... like if i'm going through the village still in 4th or 5th gear at 30 mph you can hardly hear a thing in the cabin. The creaking noise is...

So I discovered from the transmission guy that my VCU was seized. I got the propshaft removed and it was silent. Got a reconditioned VCU and fitted it and the propshaft again. There is now a really noticible droning noise from the rear especially at speed on the motorway. Does it sound like the...

Turns out my VCU has gone at 58k. Thought something was up with rear diff, getting weird creaking noises on tight turns and the odd knock. Removed the prop shaft and VCU today and it cured the noises... also feels a lot better to drive now. Have to decide whether to replace the VCU and put the...

thanks, i'll have a look at the u joints and the bolts tomorrow

Had a go at the subframe with a crow bar but cant get any noise. The noise had actually calmed down until I gave her an MOT wash underneath and then it got a lot worse than it ever was. I have it booked in with a transmission guy on Tuesday to look at the rear diff. Would the rear diff cause a...

Hi, Have had a creaking noise from the rear for a while now, only happens while cornering any direction at slow speeds ( < 30mph). The noise doesnt happen in reverse. I thought it was the suspension but my mechanic reckons its the transmission (rear diff). Before I take it to a recommended...

All of the rear diff mounts have been replaced now, took her out a spin and getting the odd creak but i think thats just normal. I'm sure the knocking will return in some form or another. It wasnt from reverse to stationary, it was more the application of power. Just letting on or taking off...

Hi, Been getting a banging noise from the rear of the car between gear changes. My mechanic changed one of the mounts which was done and this got rid of the banging. A week later and I am getting a similar banging from the rear between gear changes and also putting my foot on/off the...

I put a load more grease around the passenger springs and the top strut and sprayed wd40, took the car out and the noise had gone. The noise appeared to be coming from the passenger side, it was happening if i drove the passenger side over a speed bump and kept the drivers side on the flat and...

Thanks Teddywood, I'll get the diff mount checked out.

The anti roll bar and drop links are fine according to my mechanic. Was under it checking the subframe/chassis mount and there is no movement. No movement in rear diff either. BTW, the FAQ section is ****e and when I search the forum all i get is posts telling people to search. Threw a load of...

ok thanks for help

Hi, My TD4 Sport has had a knocking noise for probably 6 months now and has recently got worse. It sounds to me like a bush or a drop link etc but my mechanic has had a look and sees nothing wrong. The knocking occurs when driving on rough areas of roads or going over speed bumps. It also...

The turtlewax ice is great on black trim, the key is to use very little. It will give your paintwork a great shine and will have your black trim looking new. Its definately the easiest and quickest method for polishing a car, especially a freelander. I dont think you'll ever be able to get rid...

Just use Turtlewax ice on the freelander... its the easiest by far as it can be used on the paint and the trim... so much trim.

any recommendations for Norn Iron?

Hi, I have a similar problem. The intermittent wipers stop half way up the screen and then return on the next wipe but dont park at the bottom. The fast settings work fine. I am gonna replace the wiper motor as there is something built in which controls this. I think if you wipers just stop...
