First one is that i have noticed once or twice when pulling away from a stationary position i have heard a loud bang/thump coming from what i think is the rear of the car.Can anyone give me some pointers as to what this could be?

Also it has a leather interior and the 2 front seats are slightly worn.Is there anything i can use on the leather to hide the age cracks in it and put it back to looking a bit better?

Also the outside plastic trim is looking a bit dull and has lightened over the years.What would be the best product to use to put it back to its origional black colour?

Surely removing the rear diff or VCU would constitute a 'modification' and therefore be reportable to the insurance company?

Yes it is a notifiable modification. However as this thread is now 9 years old, and Samantha32 hasn't been on since January 2009!!. It's unlikely she'll still have the Freelander.

It is, and much excellent and accurate tech advice is available. And well done for searching, but some questions may be a bit out of date. It is often the custom to give the noobs a bit of banter first, toughen em up for life on the forum!

No worries! Interesting avatar? Looks a bit like I must have when I used go goose shooting. Except I would have been wearing a woolly hat, or even a balaclava, bloody cold on the marshes in Scotland at 5 am.
