Evening guys. I'm new to this forum. I was wondering if any could help with a 2004 td4 juddering when when driving. Feels like I'm towing heavy trailer. Any thoughts.
Thanks.

VCU tight. Do the one wheel up test. I jad one sounded like I was being followed by a lorry. Tight VCU gives strange wear patterns on rear tyres too as they hop about.

Feels like driving with brakes on

Hi everyone new to the forum, have a Freelander 1 and have had no problems until I replaced all 4 tyres, it now feels as though I'm driving with the brakes on so drove it for a few miles then checked underneath, the front propshaft was red hot to touch but VCU was ok, took it to my local...
