65k Only makes the noise when moving so I don't think it is the rack. I have had it for a year and it's done it since I got it.

I have seen many comments about testing the VCU I won't be convinced I am getting the right results, some say jack up the rear, some says thats rubbish and to put it in a vice so not going to do 'home tests'.

yea, either lock.

not tyres and thanks for the very helpful suggestion!

Hi When at or close to full lock going forwards (3 point turn for example) I get a whining/rubbing noise from the front of the car, seems Ok in reverse. It is a '05 TD4 and I have asked local 4X4 dealers if it could be the VCU and they all say they have never had one fail on the later FL's. Any...

did you get anyhwere with this, did you find the problem?

There is a kit that can be fitted to the IRD which allows the prop to be appear connected but it isn't inside, search these forums for details as I read about it recently.

Like I said, I have done it, I let the pump run until it stopped then turned the key and after a few turns it started just fine.

I lubricated it and sliped it in, after I gave it a good banging ........

I ride a bike, in fact I have 2 (harley and beemer) and of course I'm not spilling fuel on the road, and like I would!!

Update.... changed the fuel filter today (the one that sits next to the fuel pump in the wheel arch) and noticed the new pump is also filling up with diesel as it came out of the elect plug hole when we unplugged it. Could this be caused by excessive work/pressure by the pump to get fuel...

The FL Satnav has a homing setting when nicked - it wants to go home.... lol Sorry - couldn't resist... what ever it is - it ain't gonna be cheap! I would suggest getting a tomtom or garmin as much cheaper than the amount wanted by LR to look at it, and better than the built in unit

It strikes me that someone must have designed a unit allowing the driver to select 2 or 4wd, some sort of clutch unit that sits in the rear drive train, is there such a thing?

Mine needing doing (62k '05) but I didn't fancy doing it so I got my local independant garage to do it, he has just started out and used to work at a LR dealer and is a 'Master Tech', took him 30 mins (I know coz I waited whilst he did it) and charged me £20 labour - result! He was telling me...

All done, used long nose pliers as suggested and the injector T's lifted out nicely. The new cyclone housing dropped on with no mods needed, no cutting etc. Ta for all tips.

Ok, the fact that it is ok when wet has to say it is tyres, I have had loads of noises all resulted in tyres, I had a new rear diff fitted due to a whining tyres, noisy cornering due to feather tyres, never had a car like it.

Have you done what I suggested?

The replacement part I have is an inline canister unit with pipe connections at either end, what needs beating?

Ok, thought it might be but wanted to check first. Ta.

I am about to change the fuel filter on my '05 TD4, is the system in these self bleeding or will I have to manually?
