Saving fuel! hahahahahahaha yes! saving fuel in 2wd and still earning LOADSAMONEY!!! 'Cos I wasn't dicking around grinding the front off my vcu trying to save £5 emptying the ****e out of my vcu then washing it out with lung infesting chemicals then fitting grease nipples then refilling my VCU...

Wow guys! That sounds like a lot of dedication and hard graft, luckily the lander works on fwd without the vcu & shaft. Personally I think £199 for the re-con unit I bought was a steal. The shaft balance was £90... £29.59 for two new bearings and the local garage guy charged me £50 to remove &...

Nodge! Going back to your post about balancing. I might have been wrong? maybe Shelley Shafts just balanced the two prop shafts and then built it all up with the new bearings ready to fit. However it's silky smooth now!

Spinus. Read what Bell Engineering say about testing your VCU. I'm not quoting anything they say just read it mate! http://www.bellengineering.co.uk/fault-symptoms/

I don't have that experience so for me it's easier to put the air jack under the front, lift the whole front end remove both front wheels and swap the links, pushing the ARB down is easy with a 1200mm length of 50mm x 100mm and the fat bloke from next door!!!

Mmmm There's always one smart ass who thinks there's a quicker/better way...As it happens I don't have a hydraulic ramp which would make life simples! ...try changing these without removing the front wheels and let me know how long it takes???

Yeah I hope so Rob! Just as well its only a 15 minute job to change them! (Once the wheel is off that is) :)

OK Guys! Bought these on the way home from work today and fitted them in just about an hour. got the air jack out lifted the front easy! These were recommended but a bit pricey at a £39 pair but check the logo they are supplier to NASCAR so finger crossed! Just look at the state of the the drop...

Nodge! It's not just a case of having a new vcu fitted you need both bearings replaced and then have the whole thing balanced other wise your teeth will fall out! Anyway with a 10 month warranty the guys home address an email address & personal mobile contact details I felt pretty confident...

Mmm Valid point mate... I'll give that some serious consideration :(

OK 1.2m bar 5kg weight & you reckon 15 -30 seconds from approx 45 degree angle? Fingers crossed then eh! :(

OK just saw this in a previous post... (Bar was 1.2m long, weight on the end was 7.5kg)

Not yet! Only got the vehicle back yesterday (Monday) but l'll give it a shot as soon as we get some dry weather. The question is: How long is the bar???

I just bought a re-conditioned VCU with 10 months warranty £199 (exchange) ebay. Had it fitted with 2 new bearings and the shaft balanced for £400 ALL IN! Not the end of the world if you've got a decent Lander. Don't know if the old one was shagged or not but the rear wheels were kicking out on...

Never used it! but I suspect now I've said that I'm needing a trip to Wilko!!! :):):)

Doesn't sound too serious I'm sure it's a pretty easy fix. Some one once said "With Land Rovers if it doesn't move & it should WD40 it. If it does move & it shouldn't Gaffa Tape it! :)

Are you sure its the map light? not the sunroof???

Mmm that depends on how well you want to maintain you Lander. If you skimp it's gonna fail!!!

Your welcome! Good luck mate.
