Thanks for the reply, I'll just take it to the local Mr Tyre then. Jon

Hi all Does anyone know anywhere decent near Wolverhampton where I can get my wheel alignment done? Thanks Jon

It's going back in to the garage that changed it tomorrow. In all fairness I don't think there's much life left in the old hippo now. Get this sorted now, but the next problem will consign it to the scrappers!!!

Shaft was changed as the mot noticed grease leaking from the cv boot. No vibration before it was changed. Not sure what make the new one is but the garage charged £180 to supply and fit if that gives any indication. Just wondered if it could cause any damage while I'm using it at the moment...

Hi All Recently had the N/S front driveshaft changed and now have a noticeable vibration up to about 30mph. I'm a little concerned this could cause other damage. Thoughts, advice, experienced greatly appreciated as always. Thanks

HPI clear after 19 years, thank the lord...

Because the 875mm belt is the correct one for the TD4 on the earlier vin. Pitty it doesn't list multiple belts on their site as I'd have looked which one was right before hand...

So it transpires that from my vin the belt should be 884mm as opposed to the 875mm euro car parts gave me. So they are both kind of right and wrong at the same time...

Put reg in euro car parts and this is the one it gave me. Dug the old belt out the bin and its probably 3/4 " longer than the new one. Does the face lift 2006 TD4 have a slightly longer belt than the original TD4 by any chance?

Should the small aircon belt be really tight? I've took the tensioner off completely and still can't get it on... Thanks

Thanks for all your help Andy, much appreciated. Nothing looks wrong with the pulleys so I think it was just worn with age. In all fairness I don't know when they were last changed!

It's the longer belt. Does it need to go up on ramps or is it manageable with it on the ground? I've done rear hubs and shoes and replaced the high pressure fuel pump in the past so assume its no more difficult than this?

Hi All Had the belt snap on me on the way home Friday evening. Is it a fairly straight forward procedure to replace it and roughly how long does it take? Many thanks.

Assume the drive shafts needs to come out to do this so gearbox oil drain down?

Unfortunately it's the inner thats worn so I assume a right Royal PITA to do. Any hints or tips greatly appreciated.

I'll have to clamber under and take a look, outer hopefully by the sound of things.

Morning All MOT says CV boot deteriorated, is there an easy way of changing it or is it a pig of a job. Cheers

They do tend to keep us busy!!!

I've just had a similar problem after disconnecting the battery. Window went down, would wind back up but then drop straight back down again. Since I bought the car the back window never went all the way down, stayed up about 4 inches. It also made a grinding noise as it was lowered. Took door...

Can a Freelander get up to those terrifying speeds...
