Sounds like a wheel bearing. IIRC the wheel bearing contains the magnets for the HDC/TCS sensors. If this fails you will get HDC and TC probs.

I believe the M/S is manual selection. Push the gear lever left when in D and you can change gear manually by pushing the lever forwards to change up and backwards to change down.

Rather than doing harm, regularly starting and running an engine is good for it and driving it, even a relatively short distance, is also better than leaving it standing. If possible, allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature before switching it off.

Have you considered a D3? £4000 will get you an early one of those fairly decent condition and it will be be better than most D2's out there.

When I had my old 110 I replaced all the rotten one-piece, push-button doors with two-piece SIII ones. Not only were they cheaper but also less likely to rot from the inside and they were quite a bit slimmer so I had more elbow room while driving.

I have a 2002 TD4 ES 130,000 miles.

The LWB shackles are approx 1/2" longer than the SWB ones. Fitting SWB shackles on a LWB chassis may reduce the suspension travel.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum but not to Land Rovers. Previous ones over the last 20 years have been a SIII 109 Hardtop, a couple of Discovery's, a 110 and now I own a TD4 Freelander ES.
