I have been reading through the thread with interest having purchased a freelander recently. I have also had a look at the GKN website who I believe are the manufacturers of the VCU fitted to the Freelander.On their site they say that the VCU is a system sealed for life requiring no...

Is this your garage mate?

Thanks mate. there's no rattle or knocking like it was before the new bushes went on. So I think I'll see how it goes. I'm no mechanic so if it did work loose as all the other bolts are secure as is the loose one to a certain extent take nothing would fall off etc lol.

I've changed the anti roll bar bushes on my Freelander today. All went really well bolts undone nice and easy new bushes went on a treat. Got to tighten the very last bolt on the passenger side bush and got it half tight and now the bolt just spins. Won't tighten and won't come out. All the...

I had the same problem with my petrol freelander. The expansion tankhad hair line cracks around he neck so changed the tank for a new one. I just took he top water feed off ythe old tank and ran the engine to empty the old tank in order to get the bottom hose off the tank. I then fitted the new...

Hi and welcome. This site will assist with loads of issues you may encounter with your Freelander . Lots of experience on here. I too had issues with gear changes on my Freelander mainly when it was hot and in slow moving traffic . When your clutch was replaced check and see if they changed...

Nice one thanks buddy for your advice.

Hi gstuart, I will get those suggestions checked out I think. A friend of mine is quite handy in the spanner department in more ways than one lol so ill ask him to check out the suggested items and see wwhat's what. I've ordered some new bushes in the mean time as they were only cheap...

Afternoon peeps. Hope everyone's well. I've had a few problems with my freelander when going over small bumps and lumps. It's as though the front wheels are going to fall off lol. I can also feel it through the foot pedals. Anyway I changed my drop link arms both sides with some help. However...

Hi Jon really appreciate your offer very kind. I'll have a hunt around see what I can find and if I struggle ill give you a shout. I'm Bromsgrove way so quite a trek I would imagine. I'll keep you posted matey. Cheers.

Thanks mate much appreciated

Thanks mate I'll give the Web site a visit and see what's what. To be honest now he's getting a bit older more and more work is required at home on a computer so I might just have a look at replacing it with an updated one. Do you think for a couple of hundred we could get him a decent one. Any...

Thanks Alibro. I've got it back now but it does seem like a completely different drive. So much smoother. Makes me think how bad it actually was and how I adapted my driving to compensate for it. Fingers crossed for now.

Hi Jon thanks for your reply. I'll have a look when I get home and let you know . But from memory it's a 1 gb of RAM and is Windows 7. I did have Mcafee installed on it which we paid for but that for some reason completely made the computer inoperable for some reason so I uni stalled it which...

Thanks all. Looking like a great site. Looking forward to learning a thing or two.

I see that you are a PC engineer. My son's computer seems to be running extremely slow despite de fragging and the usual cleaning up etc. Do you have any ideas for a good programme to install to sort it out? Ideally one that's not going to brake the bank like my Freelander lol.

Good luck with yours. Let us know how it goes.

Yeah didn't really plan on waking up today and spending best part of 200 quid lol. I suppose reading the forums I could have had a go myself but would probably be still at it now.

Got it towed back to my local garage and a new clutch slave and master cylinder along with a new braket as that was bent is 166.00 . The new slave etc is a genuine landrover part as the garage suggest that the cheaper aftermarket ones can fail quite quickly. So fingers crossed that and the...
