Freelander Reconditioned Viscous Coupling Unit VCU - 12 months warranty | eBay i have found some more information on the VCU it says every 70,000 miles the vcu needs replacing. thats 12,000 miles more than what mine has done but i will still ask my local garage if he does any vcu work on...

tracking rods would be the first thing i would have thought of.not sure best let the more experienced drivers than me answer this lol

they seem a pretty genuine garage they done some work on my motor a few weeks ago whenI had the rac tow me there as my motor wasnt starting up in the yard at work to take me home, turned out it needed a new fuel pump, mechanic at the garage said he works on freelanders "common as muck" was the...

dont get alot of snow in my area mate, maybe a couple of days a year and the roads round this way are all gritted anyway. to be honest i begrudge paying bank balance breaking amount of money for sporty or off road tyres. i dont go off road , i rarely go over 70mph unless im running late for work...

i would try and find a good td4 if u can, best thing about them compared to the L series, is its a chain driven engine so the "shall i change the cambelt" subject is totally eliminated.

I am the owner of a well looked after 2006 freelander Td4, probably the last of the batch before the freelander 2 came out. I am the 2nd owner of this land rover and have had it for 12months. It has done just over 57,000 miles so far. I had a basic service back in the summer and i am getting it...

different websites say different things mate, so i thought i best ask the proffessionals lol

I know they have no second gear lever and no diff lock etc. and i know they have an ird and a vcu. my main question is are they permentent 4wd? and what i mean by that is do all 4 wheels spin all the time or does the back wheels only kick in when the front wheels lose grip (and the traction...

oh yes of course i been told defenders are easy to break into and hot wire and drive off lol yeah if i got one i will be investing in a steering wheel lock, and even a sign saying "this vehicle has a tracker and is traceable" on the steering wheel when i leave it unattended lol even tho it...
