Hello, I wonder if someone can solve this. I have a 1999 2.0 xedi , every time I change gear , I push the clutch in and let off the gas, there is a thud from underneath. If I accelerate then de-accelerate it thuds. I am trying to nurse it at the moment in case something happens which could be...

I have a 1999 2.0 diesel, my clutch pedal has gone right down and not springing back up. Obviously I cannot change gear and dont really know where to look. I have a haynes manual and it says that this could be the hydraulic unit and not the clutch itself. I want know if this unit consisting of...

Allright ! keep your wig on!!

Do you know, I cant seem to get a straight yes or no on this website, i dont know why I bother.

What`s that supposed to mean??

Does anyone know if I can do any maintenance on my vcu? If there are problems with it seizing up and having a knock-on effect to the ird and rear diff, maybe there could be a way to keep it clean and maintain it in good nick??anyone??:cool:

Would it be better to tackle it from the inside of the vehicle or as my mechanic says, from behind the rear wheel and cut a hole directly horizontal across from there????

Going into the garage a week on mon (the 14th) will let you all know what the problem was .

I have taken the right side cover off from inside the boot and the noise is coming directly from the suspension area????????????

Hi, Took the side panel off this afternoon to see if there was anything loose in there. I could`nt see anything loose or out of place. So I got my 8 year old son to sit in the boot while I reversed and when forward a few times. He seemed to pinpoint the noise which seems to be coming from the...

I have a 99 freelander 2.0 diesel. I have a really annoying noise which seems to be coming from above the rear offside wheel, but actually inside the bodywork. Every time I go forward after reversing( especially out of my drive) there is quite a loud "tap". I can even make it "tap " when I am...

:mad: Does anyone have any idea how to get the fuel connectors off??? You know the type, they are basically a large lump of hard rubber around the fuel pipe with two flats on either side which ,when pressed, go into the pipe , which I assume is how you get them off! I have tried and tried...
