    Central locking

    From what I can find Part No : ALR9782 is the same on all Freelanders 96 onwards so it "should" be the same for your TD4. L.R. Series has them listed Here if you drop them an email with your Freebies details they'll check if its the right one for you to be sure. Methos.

    parking problem ???

    Yes and No, If the tipex marks move its either working properly or running free and no drive is being transfered to the rear, If it they don't move can be the worrying one, it could be seized which means it will kill both your rear diff and the more expensive IRD. The Ashcroft Transmissions...

    Glow Plugs

    Yes its got to be moved/removed or you could just change the 3 other plugs and see, many on here do that to save all the extra work of removing injection timing belt etc. Use plenty of wd40 on them (preferably day before removal attempt) so they don't shear when seized in place. Methos.

    Front of the engine right hand side, (in front of injector 1) driven by a belt from the cam...the one at the tank is just a sender/gauge unit. Follow the pipe from the fuel filter ;) Methos.

    A great forum with vast potential

    It would be dead easy to make a LZ diagnostic tool, just a palm pilot that says "use the fooking search" no matter which button you push...there perfect..Patten Pending....

    Window direction reversed

    Did you disconnec the battery for a min and then reconnect* and let the window recalibrate itself ? * The window will go all the way down, and reset/recal, then you'll have to raise it (hopefully) using the switch as normal. Methos.

    VCU Lifespan

    Anything from that of a Mayfly to life of the car...depending on your luck..newer models post 2001 were "slightly" better. They all "tighten up" on full lock, unless you were just reversing in a straight line ? Methos.

    Starter motor, the contacts on the solenoid burn/corrode and it doesn't engage properly...it just click, click, clicks... sound familar ? After you've checked the Battery as MHM said of course...start (no pun) with the easy stuff first, Methos
