I have bought a freelander and reconditioned the engine. I have now got it to run ok, but on it's first drive out I have noticed a griinding noise coming from underneath the vehicle. I'm sure it is transmission related. I have checked the gear&diff oil levels and all is ok. Is there anything that I should be loking at that is a common fault.

nice to know you got it going thou

check the tyres for uneven wear, prop bearings are a favourite
dunno what all this talk is about the vcu, never ever changed one, its always the bearings, which you can buy on they're own
