Hi does anyone know why my freelander has a slight squeak/rattle in the passenger side footwell it sounds like it's outside the car around the wheel arch only on certain bumps and not all the time. It's baffling me to say the least.

Your right I will try to get 2tomorrow and have them put on hopefully this will make a difference. The back ones are only about two months old and only done about 500miles so hopefully they have the same make size etc

Or could be just road noise on certain types of tarmac it sounds very loud and slight vibration difference is this normal.

It only vibrates on certain roads not all the time which could it be me just getting use to driving a 4x4 with all terrain tyres on it. The vcu stays warm and the ird is warm after a 20 mile drive so it's not overheating.

This is all very confusing I have had some people telling me not to worry and then some telling me to change all four tyres, I have just spent 700 getting the vcu sorted and now it's going to cost me how much getting four complete tyres, I'm thinking bout taking the props off and running it 2 wd...

They are identical as in size wise profile etc they are different makes however as the garage didn't have the same type that was on there but they are same size wise.

Is it really critical to make sure the tyre depths are the same on all four, obviously I will get it checked tomorrow see what the local tyre company say.

The rear ones are new and the front ones need replacing but the rear ones aren't that old so don't really want to replace all four

Hi can I drive my freelander with 6mm at both rear tyres and 5mm on front tyres only I heard it can damage the vcu and I only recently had this renewed. It does seem to have some vibration on certain road surfaces and at certain speeds but don't want to damage it. Thank you

OK will let out some air to bring them down to 30psi same size tyres different makes on the front compared to the back but they weren't doing it before the vcu change. Could it be the ird or would it do it all the time.

Hi yeah was a bell engineering one and the tyres are all worn the same but the pressures were different and I pumped them up to all at 35psi but haven't yet trailed it out yet. I did drive it for a bit as a 2wd until the garage put the bell engineering one on. It's bugging me

Hi would this(cv joint front passenger side) cause a vibration and a whining noise between 50-70mph, only I had the vcu replaced the other day and since then it started doing it. Thank you

Nice one thank you, how much are they usually.

Hi is the crankcase filter easy to change please, only I have never came across one of these before.?

Hi, I don't actually know I have only had it for a few months, are they easy to check/change.
