The drrive problems were NOT sorted - the ratio was adjusted on the VCU, but they are still susceptable to a miriad of drive faults - VCU lock up, Prop bearings, Rear diff mountings, IRD failure - you name it - there are lots with any combination. Not to mention the other faults. The Hippoo is a good looking vehicle, and the best off-roader in its type (when its working) - but if you want reliability, then look elsewhere. (see disclaimer below)

oi Bagpuss
wud yu like to explain how changin the tyres, increases the torque, to a technofobe like me?

It should not have read like that. What I meant was the engine had plenty of low rev torque and that with a more agrresive pattern tyre for off road use, it would be just as good off road as on it.:)
 
But you could affect the way the vehicles torque is used by having different sized wheels and tyres though.
 
OK thanks for the info I shall give a td4 a test drive to see what I think ,the freelander may have its problems but the parts are cheaper and there are loads of good people to get advice and help from unlike most other makes.:D
