Propel like that deserve everything that's coming to them :mad:

I'm no expert (@The Mad Hat Man ) but the only problem I see is usual first port of call in any claim is for the seller to fix the vehicle.

I'm not sure where that leaves you if you (understandably) refuse to except repair.
 
I have read so much on consumer rights over the last few days I can quote all that too :)

The last 4 questions - no tyres not all the same. All have good tread, but not the same. I don't know about the last two I'm afraid

If we were still under The Sales of Goods Act 1979 that was the legislation before the Consumer Rights Act 2015, that would be right but it's changed (thankfully in my favour). Don't get me wrong - i'd love to have it fixed but he literally isn't trustworthy enough, I don't believe he'd do what needs doing. Very sad xx

do you have a handbook? If so, I suggest you read it.

basically the freelander has a device (the VCU) in the middle of the 2 propshafts that run from the front to the rear. It is designed to run with a small rear bias. This can be overridden by fitting smaller/older tyres at the rear. Any mismatch is critical and can be catastrophic to this VCU. If this VCU tightens up, it puts too much strain on the gearbox (IRD) or rear differential. breaking one or other with a bill of circa £2K to fix. I siggest you look uderneath for the props and VCU. A common trick to hide existing damage is to remove one or both props. You wont know until it is too late.

this is what it should look like underneath...
