Hi all,
Just to add to my list of faults that have occurred over the last two months on my 04 TD4 39000 miles.
1. starter motor solenoid contacts, replaced contacts £25.
2. Ignition switch, replaced £15.
3. VCU seized, removed complete prop shaft with VCU (Mondo mod) and it will stay that way.
4. Brake light switch, replaced £9.

I've ticked the lot, I don't own one and NEVER will, I'm a mechanic and have several of these beasts on my books, damn good earners I can tell you.
I can't see Freelanders ever making classic status, they'll be turned into bean cans way before that.
