Errrrr, Jack the front end up ( using axle stands to support) then spin the wheels up by hand you should feel a rough rumble transmitting from the cv joints if they're knackered, if they are that badly worn then they will have some up and down lift which shouldn't be present. Imo thats what I'd...

Thank's guy's just need a good dusting of snow now that would definately make for some fun off roading and good piccy's :D

Like the sound of this thread! Will put my 2 pence worth in soon...........

The main thing is the vehicle is of value to you matey......

There all booked in at my work..... I've got 2 to do next week! Oh and guess what some one's tailgate glass has stopped working to, Hmmm wonder what that could be ;)

Very impessive! Always good to not only overcome these known niggles but to improve on them with good results...... Well done sir.

My willy suffer's from that........

Get's warm in 60 sec's! Im gonna thoroughly read you thred again and av ago me thinks...

As promised a few piccy's! [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG] [/IMG]

I'd be very tempted to check the teminals are tight on the battery matey........ If youv'e had them off to change the battery, they are notorius for not tightening up fully and causing a bad connection. I would take them off give em a clean then re fit,if they don't tighten up fully I use a...

Crankcase breather............... Its located near the air filter

At a guess I would say you probably have some more broken wiring to the tailgate window motor, 9 times out of 10 its wiring and not a mechanical fault. I would get the trim off and check the loom carefully. I've repaired countless tailgate looms. Might be worth checking the regulator to as...

Was the switch new???

Yup....... Well done mucka, these things will definatly help with performance. My only advice would be to keep on top of them (not litteraly) Check every service. Then you can :5bparty:

No prob's Sv,I will put some piccy's on later... Forgot to mention I put a new vcu on from Bell engineering 500mls ago It has proved to be perfect. Thanks Bell Engineering!

The most common cause of heated rear screen failure is the wiring in the tailgate unlikely the switch. First I would check the fuse if thats ok then see if you have power either side of the fuse this will illiminate a short circuit. If that checks out ok then imo its probably easier to remove...

Yes it will have one fitted but the chances are it has turned into a piece of coal..... BMW supply a modified crankcase breather that helps the crankcase breath more easily without blocking up as quickly as the original factory fit breather. Hope this helps

Well, The good old Freelander was put through its paces this morning and I was very pleasantly surprised! Did some greenlaning with some 1-2ft floodwater,steep gradients and lots n lots of MUD...... I followed my pal in his td5 expecting to have to be dragged out at some point but the thing...

Walk away..... would be far better investing in a pukka one, trust me even a mint one will give you grieve some where down the line, never mind a diesel auto with no prop attached. Sorry to p**s on your bonty pal

I would be checking all the crankcase and cam cover breather pipes for splits/perishing get the engine nice and warm and have a listen for any hissing noises....... If you are tinkering at home another way to diagnose an air leak is to spray some carb cleaner in the vacinty of all the...
