front and rear drive shaft and VCU for sale, with new bearings. Sold the hippo now, but when I had it I had a problem with the VCU being too tight, so dropped the shaft and I bought a recon VCU, UJs and bearings. Like an idiot I took about 8 months to fit it - weather was good so why hurry...

Fancy grabbing myself a trolley jack for xmas - is a 430mm lift enough or do I need a high lift one? I am going for 3t just to be on the safe side as well.

Hi all, finally got my rear prop rebuilt with new bearings, new VCU etc so over the next week I am going to start putting it all back together. I am going to replace the oil in the IRD first so I can check the colour of the oil to make sure that the IRD is sound. Are there any other checks I can...

Freelander has been running great, until Saturday - I have suddenly developed a flat spot starts at 2000 revs up until about 2800 then pulls again. going to try replacing the fuel filter this week to see if that sorts it Has anyone seen anything like this?

Anyone fancy saving me a bit of time... Need to know what the bolts are that attach the VCU mounts to the body - need to get some ordered for the weekend so I can refit the VCU and props (new VCU, mounts and UJs) but forgot to measure the bolt so I could order them! had to cut and grind one of...

replacing the boot othe prophshaft while I have it off to change the VCU - putting the tripod back on I managed to knock one of the bits off - needle bearings everywhere! Could I hell as get it all back together again. Checked the other two and notice that one of them has bearings missing as...

And no, before you ask this isnt about my belly. Wanting to pick up half a dozen 20kg bags of sand and a dozen 450x450 paving slabs (cheap ones not the really heavy ones) to lay a base in my greenhouse - reckon the freelander would be ok for this? Was thinking about folding the seats up and...

been trying for the last hour to remove the VCU from the props, is there a trick to removing these? watched the vid on here somewhere where you use a cold chisel and a hammer - but still no movement. I even marked it up with tipex so I could detect movement and there has been none! nah. Any...

Evening all, I am getting a strange intermittent knocking / rattling noise but I cant track down where its coming from. Sometimes it sounds like the front, sometimes the back, can't work out if its brake related, steering related or clutch related - but it does seem worse when turning and sounds...

Front wiper motor isnt parking correctly when on intermittent, I have to put it on full and then turn it off when it is roughly parked. Is it much of a job to strip these down and fix as I notice you can get a new one from ebay for less than £30.

Had my freelander in for the MOT on Monday, first one since I got her - and she flew through the test with no advisories! whoo hoo

Can the rear door mechanism be adjusted, sometimes when I close the door the window goes up, the lock takes - but the door isnt fully shut. I have to unlock it, close it, and lock it again.

As said the the title, these last few mornings I have had the blowers on the screen and I am getting a smell of diesel inside the freelander. Strangely enough though it only seems to be if I have the blowers on the screen. If I am using the car without the blowers on the screen then it doesn't...

Anyone know the part no for the rear parking sensors? Two of mine don't buzz, so I presume that they are bust - have seen a few different types on ebay - so just wanted to check the part numbers. A couple of places say YDB500301PMA but a few other say these are FL2 and range rover only. Ta...

HI all, while doing the oil change and checking for the fuel leak yesterday I noticed oil coming from somewhere I didnt expect it. I took all the covers off at the top and out of one of the holes where the injector cover goes oil was coming out - not loads, but the odd splash when the engine was...

Pulled up the other day to find fuel dripping from the front driver side of my TD4. Typical - was going to have blast out fishing with her this weekend, guess I will be burying my head under the bonnet, removing the covers and tracking down the leak! Hoping its the spill pipes and not the HP...

I have noticed that a thread I posted yesterday has gone - and there are no threads on here from yesterday, and also I couldnt get onto the site earlier - has there been a problem with the site? No biggie, and I managed to resolve the issue I was having (well my neighbour did with a big hammer)...

Hi all, go a weird one - after turning off my engine this morning I got a strange noise coming from the front end, sounded to be driver side, it was like a gurgling, bubbling or rumbling type noise and only lasted for a couple of seconds after turning everything off. its the second time I have...

... I can't pull the "Sorry lads, can't get to work today - cars stuck" routine. Place I work is half empty today!
