Hopefully the doors won't fall off. A good mate of mine worked for LR and said the FL1 can take a fair amount of punishment but he would not do in his own if there was not good protection. Will eventually upgrade to a 90 just need to break the missus in gently lol

Hi all I'm wanting to take my hippo off road now I live in Cumbria so got quite a nice playground in my back yard. How ever I would like to protect my car as much as I possibly can. Is there a supplier of such things a vcu guards rear diff and exhaust guard and swinging arm protection front and...

32s ?? Being totally think now. I like a challenge and know it maybe a tall order

Yes I understand what you mean. What I'm wanting to know and not explained my self properly is what's my limit. Ones that are on now are 215/85/r16. Who makes wider alloys and are there issues ? Wanting to put tyres like this on.

Nice one thank you. Trying to find info on is there alloys/ steel rims wider than stock at 16 inch? Will I have to mod the hippo in any way to fit the wider/higher tyres on if that makes sense

hi all Just wanting to know what max size with width and height I can put on my fl1 as wanting something like the floatation tyres and maybe gain little ride height and smoother ride off road with larger walls. Any one got any info about this ?

Cheers Mike will have a look

Being really think now MAP sensor ? Is this the little thing that in between the two hoses ? And how do you clean it ?

I have not but thank you new to the site

Hi all Come across a little issue today with my freelander When doing 70 mph in 5th it seems to dip in power if in 4th can get over 70 mph there is no black smoke or anything. I have changed the airfilter and crank case filter and freed up the turbo actuator which as improve pick up better...

Gkn bearings will be genuine part and they are £45 from my lr spares place. So hopefully will sort the issue out cheers guys

Well I've goproed the shaft while driving to see if this is the main issue and seems to be so getting bearings tomorrow and will do the OWT on it when they are on

It's been a second car alibro and not really moved much which has resulted in the rubber perishing around the bearings allowing for exsesive movement vcu looks like new I know the people that have owned it from new. Last year it did 800 miles

Not knock this test as very new to all this just saying about the bearings are shot so these should be replaced ? I can do the one wheel up test before I change the bearings and if needed can grab a vcu if mines gone as know lr spares place has them in as enquirered Thursday. Just saying the...

So just do bearing for now then I'm guessing ?

So just do the bearing then teddy wood

Thanks for all the advice people so will do wheel up test and change bearing and this should solve the problem do you think

Car has only done 47k miles so will get bearings changed as they look shot at and the movement in it. Also got told full lock forward if it's gone pushs the car forwards instead of turning as well. Very mixed opinion on this topic

What is the one wheel up test and what am I looking for when doing this ?? Mitch

Ment when car was stopped cause if the vcu is buggered its always driving back wheels ain't it ?? Seems ok on reverse full lock just checked it. Hopefully have it sorted out Wednesday as going to garage and getting updated bearings from lr spares in town
