It's true though, I've had to train my local garage and tyre fitter about the rear wheel for new tyres requirement

Whoa whoa whoa.... he said time and cost is not an issue. In which case he can do a search in the forums and get all the info he needs to rebuild the engine with the relevant upgraded bits surely? degnan, also have a look on the MGF forums as they use the same 1.8 engine By the way yours...

Tried to get my Bluetooth OBDII reader to talk to Torque Pro app on my tablet.... keeps losing connection grrrrrr:mad:

You should hope that it is the Fuel Burning Heater running ;) Go to the Intro section and say hi then nip to the Freelander section to find out more ....

Centre-ish of the country, Gaydon Warwickshire JLR off road experience track ;)

Besides which they were a bit premature considering the 3 winters that soon followed ;)

As Mr Rimmer says it should only come on when less than 5 degrees, otherwise it would be on all the time and wasting fuel.... which is my problem as sensor has shorted out. :(

Have you shaken the propshaft at both ends to see if there is any play? Could be the UJ's giving up

Well said RB, that statement should go straight to all the LR mags ;)

For the amount of abusers losing us these roads, perhaps there should be some sort of voluntary warden system to keep an eye on them?

Why bother buying a 2 wheel drive freelander? The whole point of having a 4 wheel drive is to be able to use that option when necessary, otherwise you may as well buy a mondeo! If it is 2WD then suspect IRD problems caused by knackered VCU..... walk away unless you want to spend a grand...

Mine recently passed 130K with original VCU and I didn't really feel too worried about it on my daily drive. However I had decided to fix a few issues rather than change the motor and the VCU was changed as well due to the high mileage. I also changed all 4 tyres at the same time and have to...

I've spent about £3000 overall over the last couple of years sorting out bits that went wrong... replaced engine after oil starvation, replaced Jatco box after dying engine overstrained it, recon VCU, replaced total sunroof, and lastly 5 new Pirelli Scorpions to include spare tyre. She flies...

And if you are stuck for moving something in a hurry in support of an emergency, check your local 4x4 Response group ;)

This is probably due to the plastic cog being damaged through a lot of use and is quite common. As you operate the switch, help the sunroof along by pushing it in the direction that you are trying to move it..... preferably closed ;)
