Island 4x4. I have used them for quite a few parts. Partly price, partly because they will ship to Sweden without breaking the bank.Just out of interest, where did you buy it?

One Wheel Up Test times can be accidently increased if the handbrake int fully released or if the rear brakes are catching.
The vcu does activate quite fast. I've tried filming this before using high speed frames on slippery surfaces. It will always have some resistance across itself.I was kinda suspicious of this at after my vcu done there was a noticeable reduction in tightness on full lock to the extent that I thought I had been ripped off with a loose vcu. Subsequent one wheel up test as above, at 25- 30 secs ish I was happy because I was moreworried the weight was goin to hit the floor straight away, Just for good order I checked the free rotation with both rear wheels up and it was ok. With this and the mud test i was happy. Mud test performance was as I would like to see. Watching wheels closely, the front wheels had barely slipped one rotation before the rears took up. Is this what everyone would be happy with on their freelander?
That's a lot higher than average. We don't have enough results to know for sure if it's too high, but it's certainly much higher than the average we have.Hippo,
I did the wheel up test as follows:
- 206,000 miles
- 5kg weight 1m from hub
- falling from 45 degrees to horizontal
- 50 seconds
is this good or bad ???????????
Did a quick VCU test today. I only had time to do a 10Kg test. My car is 2001 V6 with 31500 miles on it.
10 Kg's @ 1.2M = 11 seconds
looking iffy, Bodge

10kg x 1.2m x 9.8 = 117.6NmWell here's my results for this year. The car has travelled 6000 miles since the last test but the VCU has been sat on my workshop bench for 3000 of those miles.
This time I used a 1m lever with 8kg hung on it. It took 45 seconds to turn 45° which is much longer than last time even if I factor in the shorter lever and lower weight.
I'm thinking that maybe I'll do the Turnip Test next for safety.
10kg x 1.2m x 9.8 = 117.6Nm
8kg x 1m x 9.8 = 78.4Nm.
I wonder what it would be like after a drive. Even half a mile will turn the vcu enough to mix the fluid around if it's sunk to the bottom.
You may be about to join the club of those who have tested regular, and spotted their vcu change, if it is changing... the Ternip Test is yer friend in situations like this. I's amazing to think a test named after vagrant would be so useful.
