Hello all.

Just bought my dad's Freelander 1 from '99. It's a diesel, and still looks to be in pretty good shape. It has done 70.000 miles, so guess it's due for a new VCU, as far as I can tell from reading online. It's mostly going to be my daily driver, but hopefully with some mild off road also. It's replacing my old Jimny, terrible by the way on tarmac, with full M/T's and the tiny engine...

Looking forward to being active on this fine forum.
 
Welcome. Where about in Denmark? My brother married a Danish lass and lives in Copenhagen.
 
Thank you. Just to the north of Copenhagen, about an hour away. Used to live in Copenhagen for many years, so I know the city very well. But then again, it's not so big in a international perspective :)
 
Hi Thomas, glad you joined up ;)

Ignore a lot of the horror stories about the vcu, mine has done 91k and runs fine :D

Thanks a lot :) Yeah, read the thread where people put in their miles for it, and it looked like it could last much longer. If age is not a factor, then I guess there's two choices: Test it once in a while, or change it for peace of mind ;) Third option is really not an option...
