    IRD/Gearbox... we made it wrong...

    sorry I misread your "ird too hot to touch" as "VCU" - actually your VCU and Damper at "about body temperature" is similar to mine so not that alarming - apologies Oh - and my VCU did 28secs at [email protected] then - last week, 10,000 miles on, it did 30sec

    IRD/Gearbox... we made it wrong...

    Can't remember exactly what pressure the fronts were but would have been to the book or close - treads were within 1mm of each other - matched set of tyres. Temperature? - I never find much rise in temperature normally - for reference I feel the damper lump next to the VCU as that will be...

    IRD/Gearbox... we made it wrong...

    just brought my first freelander
