well I am bringing it down your way then! nah its a rough 3 dr 51 plate with 123k on the clock best price offered £650 trade in most dealers wont touch it full stop in fact one was more interested when i told him iot had been turned into fwd he thought ti was a selling point! guess prices...

Well fair play I was quoted a lot more than that for a replacement vcu hence why I didn't change it. Point I was making is the argument you should sell rather than make it 2wd doesn't add up to me after all do landrover not make fwd freelancers now?

I wont argue that point but as the car is worth approximately £600 I can't justify a new vcu when it will never be used off road. All the other faults have been fixable for very little costs. For what my parents use the car for I would rather spend a tenth if the cost of the vcu and fix things...

personally i couldnr be bothered taking the props on and off all the time for the neglible gains. buts that just my opinion my old mans one came off coz it was fecked and on a cheap run around its just not worth replacing cost wise in relation the the value of the car. As for the arguement...

my dads was bought with 110k on the clock vcu was kanckered amazed it drive so well! as for the comments on being a service item my only issue with this is the cost of replacement vs vehicle value. its not a cheap item that by the time it needs replaced simply the market price of the car...

just to let any newbies like me know yes the regulators are the same i got a used one of ebay was only a couple of months old and an aftermarket job bearmach. easy enough if fiddily to fit my main issue was broken cabled and burnt out motor so couldnt lower my window to release the glass...

Hi all finally going to do something about the passenger front window on my dads car took the trim off usual broken wires and window jammed up electrical connector disconnected. got a bit concerned as i was getting very low reading when i tested the output to the motor like a couple of volts...

tightrning it up is the least of my worries I use large stuff in my work on a regular basis so 400nm is fine but i have had a longer bar than i would use for 1100nm and it still wont shift very siezed! but will get the bugger off somehow just notice the new nuts i got are dofferent size across...

mmmm food for thought will try the rings first see what happens yeah gonna try the impact gun route if i find a local garage willing lol or failong that raid my work for the heavy duty inch drive toys! thanks for the input guys just go to get the passenger window sorted then its a usable car!

Oops freelander then sorry slip of the tongue as so to speak lol I have checked the rings no splits or missings sectors but a couple of the sectors have been slightly flattened and there is line scored thro the whole diameter of the ring like something has got trapped or made contact with it. I...

Sorry jump in but my concern is that with abs disabled the car stops fine no grabbing or pulling to one side or anything untoward. Yes I reconnect the sensors all the lights go out and everything works but abs triggers straight away and grabs the brakes at one side making the car dangerous to...

Hi all First off thanks to everyone for all the advice My dads freelander was bought as a cheap n chearfull runners with abs and traction control faults. It's a 2001 1.8gs Have changed the brake pedal switch to the later type. Fixed the wiring on the hdc switch on the gearlever...

ah ok sorry misunderstood your post I thought you meant i diodnt need to remove the cv to get out a stuck sensor! my apologies

i did search and it seems you need to split the hub to get a really stuck sensor out or am i missing something? I dont fancy drilling it out if its amess of wires rather get a suitable sized drift and persaude it out ot break the head off and punch it right through. either way i have to...

Thanks for the reply yeah my sensors are well seized as well so going to try hitting them from the inside out. So did you find it easier to break the end off and punch the remnants of the sensor thru? Did the bolts holding the strut to the hub come out ok and be reusable? Sorry to drag on but...

Sorry to jump in here but am curious about the heatgun method for the bumpers and trim excuse my ignorance here but what exactly is the heatgun method ? I was going to try some bumper restore type stuff but the pics on here look very impressive so just asking what's involved for a novice many thanks

Hi all apologies if this has been covered a million times but just after a litte help before I botch things! Both front sensors are open circuit and seized in place. Tried the free them but to no avail.so been told best route is to split the hub and knock it out from the inside. Also going to...

Hi all sorry if this has been covered a million times before just wanting some confirmation before i spend more cash! my dad picked up a 2001 freelander 1.8 3dr as a cheap run about. more bad points than good but slowly getting there! anyway has the red brake warning light lit all...
