Back on topic our beloved cars are crap lets face it, they won't let you cross the dessert in Australia, ( fact ) as their too unreliable ( look it up ) but we love em, well someone has to x

Now now brothers, play nicely !

Here only 60 odd miles from west Africa, no welfare state here so only a few genuine life threatened migrants come here. Wages crap, as said about 1200 € a month. Housing big shortage, now shot up to 700€ a month one bed apartment ! Road tax 30 € a year, diesel 1€ a litre garage labour rates 30€...

Hi Htr, no idea, there was no fluid at all in my mount. Recon it had leaked out or evaporated years ago. But I recon it was black originally as there were traces of black goo inside unless they were just bits of worn out rubber.

Guess it wouldn't affect a tough off road designed vehicle, but did happen to me in the past when I kissed a kurb, it actually moved the steering wheel an inch or two out of centre. Friends garage just adjusted the tracking and said I hadn't bent anything ( old rover sd 1 )

Could have hit pothole or kerb and knocked tracking out slightly, before you spend money I'd first swap the two front wheels, if I still does it have the tracking checked.

I looked it up on gov check mot site. It failed mot three years ago on that so perhaps it was bodged.

But why wouldn't they test it ? Even if it failed you'd know the expense of what it needs , buy a Honda they work lol

It would worry me why they wouldn't add a new wof less it's really expensive over there ? I would expect a uk dealer to issue a new mot at point of sale.

Lol sorry Grumpy couldn't resist, how about choosing the best you can afford and maybe have it transported to your home ? If you trust say the dealer/seller over the phone as you know all the car's faults you may strike lucky. I know buying blind has huge risks but so does driving 400k on a...

Wow sheds are very expensive in NZ G G

Must be the first Freelander to go upstairs, thought they all went below lol

Could be the wheel itself if old and alley, the go porous after a while, if it continues to leak scrappy job for new (er ) wheel.

But G, weren't cars made out of canvas when you were young ( sorry )

Ahh the good old day's when I used the supplied scissor jack, removed a wheel then pushed it under the car then crawled around underneath. Mind you was a lot braver and thinner then ! Don't do this at home !

Is the hydraulic system expensive freelance ? Got a feeling mines going. Hard to select gear especially when changing down. Pump pedal twice goes in easy. No probs usually when changing up.

Probably the complete hydraulic system which I believe can only be replaced as a single unit IE master, slave and all pipework as one. Could be just where the slave pushes on the clutch, not as daunting as it sounds. I'm sure if I'm wrong the learned one's will answer shortly.

Yes very worrying, but I'm in Lanzarote so guess the rules don't apply here. I could easily have had a nasty accident but luckily nothing happened. I understand your new MOT law would have examined the discs and pads and I would have been issued with a dangerous instant failure so at least your...

Above, deadly disc, below shocking shock which has absolutely no hydraulic resistance at all.
