I'd only gone five hundred yards after having them fitted when my problems started couldn't wait to get them off. Along with the vibration I would have sworn I had a wheel bearing gone as well but all it was was the tyres.

Yes quite possible. I'm sure Bell use the GKN bearings so can't see it being those. Have you tried it with the rear prop off (sorry if you have said this before I've not gone through the thread) You know I might be totally wrong but I'm betting on the tyres from personal experience.

It's possible as all four wheels are competing for grip now with the rear prop fitted but don't know. Have you got a friend with a freelander that you could swap the wheels around just to see if there's a difference ???

Sorry never heard of these tyres. It's a well known fact that there are only a certain number of tyres that will match a Freelander I found this out a few years ago when I replaced two of mine. I think they were Uniroyal or something like that. What a mistake to try and save a few quid, I had...

What tyres you running on ???

2006 TD4 had it from new and never had any problems with it. Yes changed prop bearings once but apart from that no problem at all plus it tows my 1600kg caravan with no problems at all.

Did you change the bearings when you replaced the VCU. I've had two occasions when I had a bad vibration in the past. The first was when I put cheap tyres on the back, it made a lot of road noise and vibrated. the second time was when I had a bearing on the prop shaft on the way out. Changed the...

I've never know any of mine to come back to life after a rest when they've gone they've gone. I have tried repairing them as in the post above but to no avail. Sadly I've spent enough money on power fold replacements and now I'm on manual fold in/out at a fraction of the cost.

Possibly motor burnt out or wiring plug come apart ??? does if fold in if you do it manually ???

Having replaced both my folding mirrors twice with the same problems I have now fitted the manual fold in/out mirrors. The adjustment of the mirror still works from inside on the control knob. Having spent around £500 in the past on replacement power fold units I purchased the last mirror from...

No sorry Jeremy I don't I live just across the water from Weston Super Mare. Pontypridd, South Wales.

Yep on my 06 TD4, I found it easy to follow. Can't see why he had a problem there's only one way they can go on.

I followed the diagram in my Haynes manual and it was spot on.

I've got an 06 TD4 with 65,000 on the clock and service it once a year. The last service at 60,000 miles I changed the engine oil, gearbox oil, IRD oil, and diff oil, changed the air filter and changed the auxiliary belts. all this is relatively easy to do if you have basic DIY skills and a pit...

Personally I wouldn't touch a 1.8 petrol with a barge pole. Surly there must be a nice TD4 around which will serve you better in the long run.

Around £500 for my four Pirelli Scorpion STR's.

Tell me about it lol

Mike, your next purchase will have to be a shed to store all the Freelander bits your buying LOL. What you like lol

No no no inner ring what ever you do don't hit the outer ring.

Mike, the big socket has got to be the correct size to avoid any damage to the bearing. The socked goes against the smallest ring and gently tapped on.
