    Get your vcu checked (preferably by bell engineering) there's a lot of supposedly reconditioned vcu on the market that actually have no Viscous fluid in them. There should be resistance, no matter what test you do. Contact muddymods regarding the camber bolts. It may have been a dodgy set in...

    Hdc IS the 3 Amigos. It uses abs to control wheel speed and also needs traction control working to tell the ecu which wheel is slipping and how fast Hdc is only active in 1st and reverse gears.

    I don't mean the gearstick hdc switch. When searching for the 1st gear switch online, it will sometimes be easier to find if you search for hdc switch or sensor

    The 1st gear switch is also called the hdc switch. It doesn't have any other tell tales when faulty apart from dash lights. On the td4, you can swap it with your reverse switch. If you lose reverse lights, auto rear wiper etc. Then the switch is faulty When you've connected the diagnostic units...

    Apart from the g sensor, they should all give codes if faulty. Have you checked the hdc wiring on the gearstick? If yours is manual, swap the 1st and reverse switches around to see if faults change (reverse lights not working etc)

    Manual Gearbox Oil

    A lot of companies now make the mtf94. Comma oils is probably the easiest to source. If you don't have an LR stealership nearby, Honda also used mtf94. The difference in the 94 and regular mtf is additives used to prevent damage to the copper synchro meshes in the gearbox

    If you got cheap abs sensors, chances are one or all are faulty. If you still have the old sensors, try changing one at a time to see if the lights shut off. If you have a known working front and rear sensor, you can use those two as they're not sided. Just front and rear are different You...

    Hifly tyres

    I've had hifly vigorous on one of my fl1. Pretty good tyre for the price, not too noisy and worked pretty well in the wet. Hifly are branching out from manufacturing specifically van tyres so they're not your usual Chinese ditch finders

    Freelander 5 door commercial

    It's most likely an irish import. Not only did they use the Dutch roof on the 3 door commercials, but the dealerships converted some 5 doors from passenger to commercial (usually S spec) . It changed the irish road tax from €730 down to €330 per year for the td4 or €670 down to 330 for the K...
