VCU replacement tomorrow

Gibbo_GTI · Mar 13, 2013

Having the VCU and bearings replaced at Bell Engineering tomorrow. I've been meaning to do it for a while and just not got round to it and now it occasionally gives a vibration between the seats when driving very tight corners.

GibboGTI - I had Bell replace my VCU last year and it's been faultless since and a great price too. I had Mark Smith in Bicester (Land Rover specialist) quote £700 plus to do it :-(

I just got my VCU and bearings from Bell sent to me here in France yesterday. It will be a project the weekend after next - along with the front diff mount. I know what you mean about the tightness on the cornering and am looking forward to something a bit easier. Having said that, I love driving my Freelander and it makes a very comfy ride after my old Jeep Cherokee Mk 1

Well what can I say? Austen replaced my VCU yesterday and it feels like a totally different car

So smooth to drive and on the way home felt more responsive, wish I'd done it earlier lol. Cheers Austen

Hi,

Does anyone know why the how to guide for the bearings and VCR was removed?
I'm hoping to do this next weekend

I don't know why Hippo, removed the guide, it was great to follow how to chang the bearings. I used it myself recently when I changed mine.

Have a look at the thread below. Just after the first couple of post's there is a link to a Utube video which shows what to do. But don't follow everything shown, he has gone about it in a very hard way.
