2000 MY 188,000 miles ,facelifted it, stuck alloys on it, flew through MOT. Now just have to sell it to buy a van :hurt:

Not sure i would be worried about electrics for a front mounted towbar:rolleyes:

Sounds like an air leak or you have damaged something, not familiar with the 1.8 is it flyby wire or throttle cable??

It worries me that you say you broke down outside your LR specialist and you are having to ask questions about simple (to a specialist) diagnosis on here............

Are you sure your rear brakes are working?? Maybe your compensator valve has seized??

Added some similar info on yer other thread, i just looked at my old box and cannot find any ID marks anywhere, looks like my best bet is to overhaul my old box and remove the chances of another breaker yard monkey sending me another " it'll be alright mate its off a freelander"...

A bit more info the Petrol version is a S4EM 4.2 Final drive ratio The diesel is a S7EMU 3.6 Final drive and uprated internals ( hence why my petrol box is really starting to groan now!!) Both are PG1 gearboxes no doubt but the final drive ratio is DEFINATELY different, i know as i have one of...

Pg1 Gearbox From A Freelander - XPowerForums - For MG, XPower & Motorsport Enthusiasts The definitive guide to your PG1 gearbox.........

Sorry to disagree but i know for a fact that they are not the same ratio..... I HAD THE SAME ISSUE! Haynes, although a great general reference, has made mistakes..... I got the ratios from RAVE and they are definately different. Sorry i should be more accurate and state the gearbox ratios are...

The problem is they are identical from the outside, and i can't see that the ird would cause this.... my max speed in 5th is 90mph at 4500rpm if this helps. I did post up about this issue some time ago, and there are the mph per rpm values somewhere....

My 2000 xdi has CD Radio Bluetooth Ipod connection etc..... THE RADIO ISN'T GLUED IN YOU KNOW!!!!!!!:p

Hmmm, sounds like you have swapped the petrol box for a ...... petrol box. I fitted a "diesel box" at the beginning of the year, the dumb assed breakers yard assumed it was a diesel box that is because it was in fact a petrol box. Accelerates really nice but is too low a geared for motorway...

I have a filler cap on the side of my car that tells me which side the filler cap is on.........................:rolleyes:

Or final drive carrier splines in gearbox.

Sounds like a Disco would be a far better vehicle for you, you are asking a lot of the freelander towing that weight legally or not. Stick the FLander on ebay you'll get a few quid back spare or repairs.

ot.

Is the ARB central with the collars against the bushes, the roll bar can sometimes float and hit other components, for the cost of new bushes and droplinks it's worth just changing them.

Could be worse you could have gone through all that and put a 1.8 petrol box in your 2.0 L series like i did..... Ebay gotta love it:rolleyes: On the plus side its got great low range now, low range for off road and fuel economy!! But goes like a scalded cat.....

Hmmmm, vcu held in vice with 24mm socket on spline. You have to be very careful when posting results MAX reading i had was about 90 lbsft MIN reading i could get by being very gentle was around 15lbsft. Obviously the VCU responds to torque input the higher the torque in the more it applys to...

Be careful, i assumed my vcu bearings were gone, but it turned out the banging was caused by being in rwd only, the splines had sheared inside the final drive carrier in my gbox.
