Finally got around to those whirring VCU Bearings.... Oh Boy I hope I never have to do that again... The Middle to rear shaft popped off without issue... The Front to Mid? What a story. I started off by just me and a friend pulling. No Luck, so...

IIRC once you have the bumper off it is accessible, mounted on the outside of the wing.

Don't let it hit your confidence to do maintenance yourself. I have a friend who is an aircraft engineer. His job is literally to make sure planes don't fall out of the sky. He needed to service his car and came round to mine to do it and use...

Lol - for the last two years or so my WoF peep have said I must replace the ARB bushes. I did but the horrid clonking was still there. Last year I replace the drop links and they were absolutely stuffed! The WoF peeps never picked that up!

I don't know the answer to your question, but the net should hide that nicely. I'm sure it will be far far better than a saggy head lining. Which glue did you use? A spray on I take it?

Aye Grumpygel, yep - a farmers car - with high miles, which is probably borderline scrap, though engine sounds like its never wanted for oil. In fairness I only wanted the all terrain tyres for my black freelander, but have grown to like the...

Front of the 3 rear diff bushes has failed and prop kicks in air and touches floor when accelerating.

Looks like its had a bit of a hard life for all those problems with the suspension.

Problem solved. Couple of 5 second cranks on a fully recharged battery and it started. After taking it for a spirited drive, the initial low fuel pressure fault (P0087) that prompted the filter change in the first place has also disappeared. Just...

I don't think you can get the original. You have to replace it with the new one and changed pulley. I presume the OP asked for a timing ring for Freelander 2 and got what he asked for as it the only 1 available. Who ever sold it, didn't...

TBH, my Freelander has more rattles than Baby Care at present.

Thought I should give an update! Success! On a very rainy cold weekend in October 2023, myself and old man took to the underneath of my Freelander.... Surprisingly, nothing really went too wrong? Seized ball joint on the lower wish bone... cut...

You are definitely right to get the correct CPS setup installed. Don't be to surprised if it still doesn't fire the injectors though, as there are other things that can stop them. They are of course controlled by the ECU, so if the ECU isn't...

£25 a pair and £15 fitting! 😂

lol. When its only doing 2k miles at most between 6 monthly WOFs, I tend to just let the examiner find any problems. The day before this WOF though I did change the drop links as it was an advisory on the last one and changed the wiper blades...

Wouldn't they be obscured by the "One Life Live It" sticker across the top of the screen? 🤣 Or should that be "Eén leven Leef het"? (according to Google).

One more thing that you will defo need… ask @xDParis64 if you can borrow his fluffy dice to hang off the mirror 😁

Yeh, must admit, I was quite surprised at that one.

I cleaned it up lovely. It was lookin fabulous. And the bastids failed it! How dare they! I spent 30 minutes getting it looking that good. They said it needs a tyre and a power steering belt. But it was spotlessly clean. I'm dumb founded. :D
