    Prop removal in swansea/neath S. Wales?

    Hi Rhodie, Thanks for this - i was unaware the job was doable without the landy jacked up?? Can you tell me if you did it this way, The tools you used to do the job, how long it took and how difficult it is? Ive watched a few youtube clips on it.. but all have the freelander on ramps...

    Prop removal in swansea/neath S. Wales?

    No, im not disabled thankyou. I was just asking advice off people on the forum.. Thats what forums are about isnt it? If you dont understand it or cant do it, you ask for help? I get your point about buying the tools - but surely a jack, axle stands, torque wrench and decent socket set will...

    grinding noise from rear

    Mrjrimmer, Great thread - thanks!! After reading all peoples advice on here, im guessing its either my VCU support bearings (which were only changed 35k ago) or driveshaft bearings.. I think the best place to start is to remove my prop and see if the noise goes.. The only problem with...

    Name that noise!!

    Ahunt 47, Did you take the prop off yourself? I have a similar hoise and think this may be my problem too.. Id like to try to do the prop myself, but have linited tools, and only the original land rover jack.. If a garage did it for you how much did they charge? Andrew

    grinding noise from rear

    Hi wulf, No - havent jacked up the back myself as i only have a standard freelander jack, and i have an old trolleyjack which wont lift the freelander off the ground as its not rated to lift the truck up :mad: I also have a very narrow driveway with cotswold stone chippings all over it, so...

    diesel fuel

    I agree with singvogel on the black smoke, mine smokes a lot more on the supermarket stuff, especially when under heavy load like towing, but i genuinely have found no difference on MPG with texaco or BP diesel, which are my other local choices.. Ive done the "brim the tank test", and on all 3...
