Carried out the tippex test today on the advice of some of you helpful chaps!!! After thrashing around on the wet grass for a while the marks had come out of alignment, then on driving home, i checked the temperature of the VCU and it was stone cold, the one thing i did notice was that on the wet grass, while trying to spin the wheels,was that the back wheels spin far more readily than the front, is this normal any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

does your freelander have traction-control? and is it working properly?

Ideally you want to do the tippex test on a roadtest, not on grass, as the wheel spin prevents the wind up that should cause the VCU to slip.

...but driving around anywhere is adequate and the fact the marks have moved is reassuring.
