Hi NI. . . Is the CV/propshaft, VCU bearing - in the front of the car or the back ? The knocking is definately comming from the front. From what appears to be the transfer case. The problem seems to be enhanced when atempting a reverse while turning.

So maybe not the transfer case afterall . . . interesting. Well i hope not / because the only TC's available are refurbed ones ahipped from the UK at AU$3000. . .

hmmm . .sounds just like my transfer case before it finally gave way / but that might not be it.

Is it possible to fit the transfer box myself ?

Heya sage ! Interesting / did you find that you could still operate the gears and get from A to B ?? Because I can / and this is the part I don't understand / I expected with the transfer box gone I wouldn't have been able to do that.

Just on that / The problem first appeared when I went into reverse.

Hi guys. . . Well that time has come around / and it seems that maybe my transfer box is gone. The symptoms are screeching noises comming from somewehere under the car while in or out of gear. The screeching and grinding noises appear to be relative to the speed of the car. I thought maybe...

Sorry got those round the wrong way. . 30 to 50 mpg. .

JUST TO DIS-AMBIGUATE MY LAST COMMENT / DON'T FILL your tank full with cleaner fluid. lol.

I've not started yet / but have been reading into it last couple of days. The oil needs to be filtered down to a certain micron. . . "We do not recommend using the 30 micron as the final filter at any time. As the final filter, that micron rating will cause problems with the injection...

Landies run hot. . . I dunno. . .I supose the 'ideal' 'vengine' would have the fuel tank designed wrapped somehow around the head. Can fry an egg on those barstards so who knows ? I suppose, you could also run fuel line which in part was also part of the muffler casing. . . .but all of these...

Thanks george. Your comments suggest in that case that I am in the market for an Xedi. . .rather than a Td4. I intend to use WVO, but i have a plan. . .which is to invest in a good storage and filtration system for home. anyhoo. .is olive oil any good ? I'm half wog so. . .maybe 50/50 hehehe...

Um.. . I might know whats happening. . .Same symptoms on mine. You need to put an additive to your fuel. It won't register on the cpu cause they only register limited information. I'm betting on dirty fuel injectors. I've done the same in last week / distributor cap etc etc. . . Now I put...

There is a cheap fix ! Take it for a long drive ! Don't ask me why but I'll make a bet with you that this works. . .I think your little fella is aching for a long drive. mine was anxious in the same way, ,trying to rev himself up . . . As amusing as this might sound, I'm actually not joking...

Actually. . . I'd rather go with the heating design / simply because you don't need to mix the diesel (which is a further saving). The idea of having two tanks is a good one, switching between diesel on the first and last few minutes of running time. The other thing (as someone mentioned...

Um. . Yeah but the actual puprose for using the hydrogen in the first place / is to create uniform explosions in the combustion chamber / not run the car wholly from water. Having read down to the facts, IMO it seems to actually work and save fuel. And that fella who ran the same system on a...

Any space in the freelander td4 for a second fuel tank ?

Yep. After much reading it definatly appears that Two-tank SVO systems are the go ! Through much info sifting / this is the best part. . .To paraphrase. . "With two-tank SVO kits one tank holds the vegetable oil and the other petro-diesel (or biodiesel). The engine is started on the...

here's a great link. I'm just a beginner so other beginners can have a read of this also. Straight vegetable oil as diesel fuel: Journey to Forever

I'm thinking of buying a Td4 to replace my current gaylander. Is it a good move ? All this veggie oil talk has me excited ! I'm even thinking of running it just as an experiment and as a second car. With the freedom of free fuel I can roam across this great land freely ! Can't get more...
