I was surprised at the genuine bearings. Initially I was hacked off with the LR Indy who fitted them as they told me they only used best quality parts so when I saw these things I thought I had been diddled. I picked up two new bearings from local LR dealer to find they were just the same. Very...

First set were fitted by reputable LR independent garage. I fitted second set and took care to make sure housings were as well aligned as could be. With the bearings in flexible mounts what more can you do? I noticed that all the bearings were marked made in India and I'm sure this would not...

Hi all Alloy wheels as pictured to suit Freelander 1 from 2001 onwards. Tyre size 225 55 17. General altimax sport tyres, all fairly close on tread at between 5.3 and 6.3mm. Spare is new and unused general grabber gt. Looking for 200 quid, happy to arrange courier at buyers cost or meet for...

I had exactly the same issue with vcu bearings about a month before I sold my td4. Knocking when pulling into parking spaces. That's the second set of genuine lr bearings I had taken off. First ones were fitted with new vcu and bearings themselves failed after 13 months. Another set fitted and...

Hey all Ive got two issues in the go at the moment, both of which i have open threads on. I have a noisy ACE system which sounds like its ticking when engine is at idle speed, the frequency of the tick increases with RPM and the zystem now drones noisily on cornering. Other issure is engine...

OK cheers. The maximum deviation on my injector 4 was +8. As mentioned before its only a slight roughness at idle, some might not even notice. I will be trying all the easy to do today and will post findings.

Thanks for your info Mark. The injector issue did show up on diagnostics yes, I did see it with the slight imbalance on cylinder 4 although it wasn't excessive. Fully agree with your approach, I have already checked red ecu plug and it's completely spotless. No visible defects under rocker...

Thats interesting, sort of thing I was looking for as injectors ain't exactly cheap and I don't want to replace one only to find the problem is elsewhere. Something else lead you to the MAF sensor or was it just coincidence that this corrected the imbalance? Did you have any vibrations when you...

Maybe wrong terminology, not so much adjustment as checking rocker/injector clearances to ensure they are as per manual.

Been reliably informed today that my 2001 disco td5 vibration issue is down to a slight imbalance on injector 4...but I'm happy as it seems dual mass flywheel isn't fooked after all. I was thinking to plump for new injector there and then but then thought would that be hasty? Could it be a dodgy...

Right folks, thread title now updated as different circumstances from original listing. There is a slight vibration on the car which isuspect is fro dual mass flywheel. I will be getting asecond opinion tomorrow and a quote for replacement. I dont have time just now to do this myself but rather...

Well took belt off again today, all pulleys spot on including front damper, no play at all. Run engine with belt off and vibration is still there and definitely seems to be coming from around clutch area of casing. I also checked engine and gearbox mounts, all look good the engine mounts have...

I've got one for sale ;).....VCU has been renewed. Sunroof is sealed at the moment but can always be brought back to life if necessary.

Cheers James, I did check all pulleys when looking for ACE system noise but wasn't looking for this issue at the time. I will check damper again tonight. Really frustrating as its up for sale and now just keeps on throwing things at me.

Hey all. I'm hearing a vibration going through the disco both at idle and when on the move and does vary with rpm. Nothing on auxy belt pulleys of any concern but felling around it does feel like it's originating around the clutch housing. Anyone suffered the same symptoms of clutch or dfm...
