Get under the car , after a run and touch the VCU , it, should be cold or at most warm , if it is very hot , there is a problem , mine was missmatched tyres . enjoy your freelander
Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time I take it out.

Young love - fair warms the cockles of yer heart!!
Defo go for a new VCU if you can swing it!
I know yeah...it's not even really my car, bought it for the wife really (and to drag the caravan about).
I will be putting a VCU on just for peace of mind but wanted to test it as "ok" just while I wait to get a new one on warranty ( paid £400 for the warranty so I think getting a VCU out if them would level the scores ).
I'm hoping in the meantime the test I've done have at least shown it has some life left in it???
I must be honest just looking at how this car gas been maintained I can't imagine it hasn't had one at some point but I like a but of peace of mind.
I thought as much. I wil replace it regardless of cost anyway, even if I pay for it myself. It's not an issue. I am (well, was) a levelm3 qualified tech with vauxhall and Mercedes. Is there much difference in fuel consumption between 2 and 4wd. I will be towing a 1200kg caravan during the summer so am a little unsure about dropping the prop? Any thought?
Oddly, no difference I have ever found. Logic says MPG should be better as the vehicle roles freely in mondo - In my view its a better drive as FWD only (in normal road conditions), but opinions differ on this one.
he'll keep asking all the old questions if you keep answering!
noobs should use the search button, it's all been done before and better
Yeah I must be honest my view is you buy a vehicle with 4wd because you either want or need it (in the majority if cases) so seems daft to pull it apart just o save a bit of money on derv. I think it'll be left as it is.
Oh... As or searching or topics already discussed in length. If we didn't talk about VCU / IRD / 2WD vs 4WD then it doesn't really leave much to talk about
I know - but everything has been asked and answered B4. I can't talk wheels and tyres though, ever again!!!
