My pig was parked on my drive for 18 ish months and was covered in all sorts of crap. I poured Fairy liquid on its roof one evening and let it run off overnight so it soaked everything. Washed next day, clean as a whistle. Well..........a 12 year old battered whistle.

ive got a great big ally sump guard on mine. propperly fitted and all. i thought it was standard.

Hello all. This is probably the wrong section but i thought id clue you in. The freelander failed its MOT yesterday, But that was expected as i only spend enough time and money to get it to the MOT centre and garage. But its good news!!! It failed on: windscreen wipers. insecure battery. low...

ha! im now seeing this.....just found onre for £79.99! You can almost tell its made of cardboard.....and ive found them for £600. ill have a look at Bell a bit later, but is it worth avaoiding Landrovers own VCU?

just read an atticle about the vcu.........now im clued in!

just found a guide of how to check the tran fluid and stuff! will get onto that at weekend! thanks MHM!

right..............yeah..........that looks a doddle! So the VCU is like a damper between the gearbox and the diff then?? HA! just looked at the prices of them on fleabay!! is there anyway of maintaining them??

right oh! on it!

i replaced both rear brake lines.....and broke the rear pas side flexi pipe.:fighting:

might sound daft. Have you got the same tyres on front and back? might be one tyre turning faster that the others?? it used to happen with an audi i had.

Great help!!!!

Ive got this with both my rear windows, and the drivers window......... and after opening the little blighters up, i came to one concusion;:fighting: To quote the tv programme, 'Where all doomed....!'

HIPPO..... Your a legend! I used your guide to do my mounts on tuesday! Great guide! I even had my laptop under the car with me.:D

on Tuesday!

ok, its not today...... but i changed all three rear diff mounts. V pleased with myself!!:drum:

Hello all As the proud (and sometimes stoney Broke) owner of two landrovers i thought id better get myself involved on here. I recently googled how to change the rear diff mounts on the freelander and came across a how 2 guide which was on this forum. I was in no real hurry and did it in...
