Thank you Alibro. We have just changed the rear tyres and maybe that added to the problem. Will the vcu need changing too?

How much will this cost to fix, what's the cheapest way to do it? Car still starts with no obvious noises and can still engage the gears no problem

So what would be the best plan of action? Love my freelander but if the prop is not put back, how would that affect the insurance?

Ok thanks. My location is Sheffield UK. Is it likely to have caused any other damage?

Well i guess we've found what the problem was, Driving along today and the rear Diff started smoking and leaking oil. Can anyone recommend a place for refurbs and would it be sensible to replace the VCU at the same time? Thanks

Gosh that sounds a bit expensive. Had the rear tyres done a week ago but the problem was around before that. I've no idea what or how to do the one wheel up test. I'm not technically minded at all

My Freelander Adventurer has developed a vibration. It on happens when we're travelling between 30-50 mph if we go faster it quietens down. No vibration on steering at all and sounds like front of the car. There's no powerloss and the tyres look fine

If it's the HB switch, is it a big job and a ball park figure for getting it done? if you wouldn't mind

Yes i've pressed the leaver down as far as it will go but it makes no difference. It's on a bout 4 clicks at the moment

Thanks for that. I shall continue to read up and pass on anything i find. Tis quite amazing the things you can find on here and even though i'm not in the slightest bit confident i'd be able to use anything i find due to lack of knowledge, at least i can point out what i've read. Thanks for all...

From what the mechanic said, he took the mechanisms apart and gave them a good clean. I don't believe anything was replaced on the brakes. I've not had the chance to pop back up yet but have been doing some reading on here, just to get things to suggest to him. He seems very knowledgable and i...

Yes it was done at Elite Landrovers in Sheffield. I've just spoken to him and he thinks it may be a damaged switch or something, i think he said its around the drivers side somewhere. If this is something i could do myself then what would i need to do?

Thank you. Fluid seems ok. Is there a switch of any kind that may have gone and if so where would i find it?

Took my Freelander 1 td4 in to have the handbrake done. It seems to have fixed it, it was almost non-existant before but holds better now. After driving home the handbrake light came on and now won't go off. Any help please? but remember I'm only a beginner

Had my td4 for about 9 months. It's always had a rattle from the tailgate window. Is there a way to fix this please?

Grrr sorted out a gearbox relatively cheap and that's getting sorted next week but on the way home from having the car looked at, we now have a handbrake light on the dashboard. It seems to be holding ok , any ideas as to what that may be?

Right so i've been in for a pre booking just to get some idea what's going on, turns out it's the 1st synchromesh that's failing, a new gearbox needed. Is it just a straight swap or are there certain versions that will fit? I forgot to ask him.

Yeah that's what I thought. First time I've used a fully fledged land rover place but he did come across ok. Anyone else used Elite landrovers in deepcar Sheffield?

Got it booked in for Feb 7th, hopefully it will last that long. Told him was was said on here and he said fine but wants to check first to make sure there's nothing else going off. Said it may be a leak or slave cylinder or the master cylinder

Where would i find OEM or genuine even?
