Hi, new to this site having recentily moved over from the uk.
I purchased a Freelander 2.0 td to bring our trailer over here.
It was my first purchase of a Landrover and to be honest,im very dissapointed with it.
Ive had major problems with very large garage bills since arriving as everything seems to be going on it..lol
Needed a new battery within days of arriving,just put that down to bad luck though.
Then i had to replace the IRD Unit..over £1600 here..even though the logbook says it was replaced only 2 years ago.
The radiator went next..this was my fault though..coolant too cold..when engine too hot..lol..learning curve is very expensive..lol
The reason i came on here was for some advice on a problem that has just started.
When i depress the accelator or take my foot off it,theres a clunking noise coming from the back of the car,drivers side.
Took to my local garage over here..and on inspection..the rubbers on the Diff Mounts seemed to have gone.
Two new mounts installed..with labour..over £210.
The problem is still there.
Checked to see if the exhaust was bumping against anything..but it seems ok.
The mechanic seems to think there is a possibility of the Diff needing replacing,but hes very unsure about it.
He dosnt want to replace it unless hes 100% sure,as over here they cost a bomb.
Any of the members been through this as well?
Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
