    If its back on the car, test in situ with glass on a 12v supply. You probably know this but 2 connections that reverse polarity to go up or down. Sounds like the controller isn't giving enough power. If it's just not enough power to move the...

    If using 4 axel stands, be aware as you jack the car with a trolley jack the arc of the jack means the jack will move inwards or the car will be pulled slightly backward. Not an issue for just front or rear but if one end is already on axel...

    It's my understanding the rollers go in opposite direction so there is no or very little drive to the diff and therefore no or little attempt to drive the rear wheels and the vcu should be happy.

    Freelander 2 under belly tray are easy to access x 6 two at the back, same in the middle, and two at the front. 1 Size 13mm six sided bolts. 2 3 bolts go into a clip not the body of the car.

    Depending how fussy you are, a decent size hole below the front 2 under tray bolts means you can get socket direct onto bolt, although it is possible to get to it bending the plastic down. You don't loose too much skin and it grows back fairly...

    Scanner should show dpf in and out readings. If you intend to keep the car I would look at new dpf, especially if the last regen was 500 miles ago.

    Is it manual, if so could it be clutch slipping?

    Only with foot on brake, is it a miss fire or drop in rev as it may try and creep forward but can't as the brake is on so the revs fluctuate? Not an auto driver so only a question.

    I've heard soft gentle braking can cause a squeel. A few hard stops now and then may help.

    That's the intake filter, it's there to keep debris out of the vacuum system. If the hissing continues while the brake pedal is pressed, then the diaphragm in the booster has split.

    It'll be a split boost hoses as suggested above. Check the short hose below the throttle body, which is a common failure point on these.
