i was talking to a chap this week with a freelander who works in a automotive college in liverpool. his vcu seized at 53000mls, he took it off clamped one side in a huge vice, put a large bar on the other end & spent the next 2 hours turning it ( with a lot of effort to begin with). he then put it back on the car, the car now has 84000mls on it & he reckons its still working well, ive got no reason not to belive him so what do you think???????

No. But I hear he's filmed it again, with different weights as a comparison, with times for each test. He plans to remove the prop/vcu to bench test that, for comparison too.
