A very late update: Noone was ever found/caught. Forensics turned up no prints due to the interior being so wet from dew from being left with doors wide open. All in all I was left 1k out of pocket for the repairs including a burnt out starter! BUT, i still have the old girl today! Alarmed and...

FOUND FOUND FOUND!!!! They had take it only 7 miles, smnashed the steering column n surrounding dash up, towed it with a jump lead!! No body damage or anything. STILL am missing a Red TomTom SatNav and 5 Insa Turbo Special Tracks on black modular wheels are missing.... keep ur eyes peeled...

My Red Defender 90 genuine 200tdi, reg. H253CBV, was stolen last night from Flatt Road, Harper Adams University College, Edgmond, Newport, Shropshire. It has silver modular wheels with large AT tyres fitted. It has a winch bumper with two large spot lights fitted to it. The winch fitted was...

Hey Wulf thanks for your input :) Yes i pulled back the gaiter(which is in good nick) and had a look, looked clean,dry and rust free, squirted a little wd40 in there and pushed it back in with a g-clamp. However, I DID NOT open the bleed nipple.... I have never had to or done it before when...

One wheel bearing makes a little bit of noise when turning to the left... Thats the passenger front i think... but both fronts heat up in equal ammounts so i doubt it...

The freelander 1 has indendant rear suspension though.....

I suppose a blocked hole (:P) would cause pressure build up and not allow the brakes to release properly?

Somewhere underneath... helpfull lol U say about one pipe from master then one to each wheel, but it has ABS so has to be more complicated that that????

^^^ Your an arse.... :P

Ok, this 'valve thingy' seems a possible cause, the car just had me and one other onboard so wasnt loaded/towing or anything... It really does seem like all the braking is done on the front as the nose does dip down pretty hard when braking.... I mean more than i would normally expect...
