    Doesnt Sound Good

    My 2002 td4 92000 mile Freelander has started Drumming. It sounds like its coming from under the handbrake? roughly where the viscous coupling is? It only does it at Sharp Left handers / T junctions / roundabouts. Doesn't do it at speed or anywhere else. What's going on? It went for a service...

    Tyre Myth or not?

    I'm in the process of putting new shoes on my TD5. An "in the know" friend told me unless I replace all my tyres in one go, and with identical new tyres, I'll wind up my transfer box and pop it.! Is he right or is he taking the **** or just being thick and not really in the know. Thanks Leaky!
