Hi Garage confirmed new VCU and balanced (at this point they explained "they where a Land Rover specialist ".... it would appear that due to VCU issue,there has been uneven tyre wear that is causing the vibration ? Could this be correct ? Thanks

Hi. Garage say new Vcu, balanced. Have pointed out uneven wear on tyres (I didn't see prior).. Hopefully this will sort. Thanks again.

Cheers guys. Going back to garage on Monday. New VCU fitted, but they didnt comment on balancing prop ??? Let you know.

Hi, Checked and it has got the damper fitted. Bearings, VCU and damper all looking shiny new ? Checked tyre wear and all APPEARS ok with level wear across all 4. From history received with car, the last recorded time I can see that all 4 tyres were repalced was 2011, so could this be a tyre...

Will check tomoz when its light. If it hasn't, does it need one? Would it come as part of the kit? If it hasn't got one, would this cause the vibration?

Hi mad hat. Absolutely no idea.... I know as much about mechanics as I do about walking on the moon.. Sorry, should have said. Will struggle with the tech stuff.

Hi Jedi The garage I bought it from did it under warranty, through a Land Rover specialist in Liverpool. The garage ordered the parts through a Land rover parts company..... don't know which one,soz

Hi, following last thread had a new VCU fitted and picked car up today. Checked there was actually new parts under car and had a drive including reverse with full lock..... felt great. On drive home found at low speeds (up to about 40mph) no probe, but over this, there appears to be a vibration...

Thanks to all of you for the advice. Wish i'd known about this site prior to buying so I could have better researched... from what I see, most advice on here comes from people who know it and done it, not just tried to sell it.... Thanks everyone.... (will let ye know how I get on):o:o:o

Thanks. Will get a brake check done first, as brake problems have been an issue before according to service history, then if not will probably be this VCU thingy ma bob... told you I was hopeless. Thanks again, gotta go, but will be back on tomoz.:eek:

Thanks guys. Being pants at mechanics, is the VCU anything to do with prop shaft mid bearings ? the specialist I mentioned said these needed replacing, which was done under the warrinty, but this issue remains ?? He did say something about the hand brakes are prone to sticking, but after...

Hi Guys, Just got an 05 Freelander Td4 and THINK I may have a problem, but a Land Rover specialist who looked it over for me says not.... At slow speeds (getting into parking spaces etc) if I press the clutch, I may as well press the brake as I stop without rolling, even on sloped surfaces ? At...

Hi, Recently bought an 05 Freelander, cos they look great and the price was right... would like some help with a problem I think I have with it. The problem is, when I lift the bonnet of a car, It may as well be a map of the moon..... Absolute pants with mechanics, so hoping the experienced...
