    Strange acceleration problem

    Went ajd who kindly put it on the diagnostic machine it said variable turbo nozzle as the fault, anyone know what this maybe? He said it maybe something like a fuel filter or hose to the turbo split but without going on the ramp he wasn't sure

    Strange acceleration problem

    Read the FedEx thing and tried it. It made it slightly better now what happens is I start the engine and the light is on, I pull away and it goes out then about 5 minutes later it comes back on. It was originally when I hit 2.5k revs but now it's more on time than a certain rev range

    Strange acceleration problem

    Last week I had a new ird and vcu unit fitted. Yesterday driving along it wouldn't accelerate over 50mph. I changed down gear and the revs went up but the sped struggled to increase. Few minutes later it would drive perfect and accelerate normal but then happen again later. Any ideas what it maybe?

    Extended warranties covering the ird and vcu units

    My freelander is in the shop which will proberly have a new ird box fitted this week. Looking at click4warranty they say claims can be put in from day 1. Do you think they would cover these boxes? I've emailed to ask. Thinking an idea would be to take out a cover which is £652 including 4x4...

    Freelander tyres

    Why would you do 5 if you travel for a while on the new 4 then the spare tread will be different from the rest so seems pointless replacing all 5

    Does it affect the ird and vcu box a lot with different makes or more with different pressures?

    Freelander clonking noise

    Can you still drive if the ird is packing up or will it damage other things?
