Hi all, I'm new to the forum and land rover experience.
I bought a 2000 freelander XEDi in November (my first car) I'm really not a fan of daft little sporty things, so the only car for me was going to be a land rover, and finances led me to the freelander.
And in all honesty, I know wouldn't have had this much fun in any other type of car!
I've enjoyed every minute of owning it, I've been offroad afew times in it and I'm really happy with it's performance (nothing too taxing just yet) and I'm really impressed with the MPG, expecting it would be thirsty, especially for it's age.
But this friday whilst driving home from picking up a bull bar for it, I fell victim to what seems a very common problem with these, my IRD and VCU decided they no longer wanted to play! The outcome being that the repair is going to cost me what I paid for the car! So I'm having to just have th IRD replaced and run it on 2 wheel drive for a few of weeks
Just until I can afford a new/recon VCU, I'm hoping to change this myself as it doesn't seem like too much of a big job, just wondering if anyone would like to share any experiences of taking this on?
Thank you, and I look forward to many more happy days in my Landy, and inevitably sharing many more problems with you guys haha :lol:
