Yes They are exactly like that, I did manage to turn them with screw driver to adjust out but a bit stiff, when I get them off I'll take them apart and give them a good soak in diesel, and then grease them like you say, Cheers

Hi Caz, my wife used to live in New Norfolk, her brother Kurt lives in Hobart now, She's lived in England for about 35 years now but has been back a couple of times to visit, Do you ever come to uk?

Banditste, glad you asked the question I was afraid too, I've had 4x4's before but this is first freelander, had a rough idea as its called Hill descent control but glad to read links to find out how it works, cheers

I know you can download this for free but with my slow internet connection it would take about 2 days, I looked on ebay and they didn't have frelander mentioned on the couple that were for sale, Cheers, Bill
