If everything else is ok on the vehicle they are...

    Is this a good vcu deal?

    Bought mine from them no problem with it swap arranged easily I found them to be trustable it's easy to say only use certain remanufacturers without evidence of wrongdoing by others so I can vouch for this company mine works fine.

    Freelander td4 glow plug issue??

    Might be worth doing a compression test as sometimes over zealous cleaning and use of start aid sprays can wash away the cylinder lubrication resulting in dry rings etc, cars that are regularly started on cold start seem to develop a dependency on it so worth testing compression especially as...
