Well for me, most works I can do to a car, but Engines, other than the bits that bolt on, are something I hate doing. Looking at changing the current Freelander FI. 2.O Lt diesel. 03 Im happy to look at any age, or engine, but would like to base choice on what is considered the best engine...

Which is considered the best, from those available, and particularly why? L series the 2 Lt BMW one in the FL1 the 2.2 Lt one in the FL2 these are the only ones i'm aware of , or are/where there others? And i'm interested only in the Landrover released/official ones, not the modified home...

Thanks , been reading up on the diy vcu repair and id go that way when the hippo dies. But the tegraloc for me is a bit like edmond hillary when asked why he climbed mount everest. "Because it's there" ☺.

He might have. Im only catching up on this idea. But that creates another issue. My thoughts were the traclok was viable to replace a knackered vcu. Ill have to read up more to catch up.

Yea. But the non vcu idea doesnt at the moment...if he could figure that out it would mean the unit would be very viable. And if a bit of demand costs could be brought down easily enough.

Thanks. Like the idea, but appreciate the ratio difference front to rear needs to be overcome or compensated for. The lot of money for something that really isnt necessary is pretty much the car aftermarket industry. credit to fred for actually building it..

To me, ability to select 2 or 4 wheel drive when you want it. The vcu diy fix, could you elaboeate or point me in right direction. My frrelander doesnt have this issue yet, but im looking at what if plan for when it need replaced. Im in the mind to pick up a 3 door thats vcu's knackered. And...

I'd just declare it. I've a few cars, some with mods, and for a modest premium Increase, easier to declare the modifications. Just like the idea, and doesn't seem a particularly difficult thing to do. I something I could do myself......

Came across the other thread on here. So nor commercially available? Wasn't aware of the front rear ratios differences. Good to know. Still think it's a great idea, that landrover should have thought about. Nubbie/dumass question Is it possible to fix the ratio difference via aftermarket...

I've just come across this via youtube. Is this commercially available, if so who from. My thoughts are if you vcu dies, it might be worth considering. If anyone has any details of where one could be purchased and/or an idea of cost I'd be interested to know. Fitting not a problem as I'd...

Came across this youtube video. Anyone on here done this or what are the pros and cons?

Hi. Alex Northern Ireland. Just purchased a 03 serengeti 5 door. Overall very happy with purchase. Bit of reading and lurking on here pointed me what to look out for. So far: Replaced passanger window mechanism. Love the way the bolt attaching the glass to mechanism is so easy to diconnect...

Try Viagra. Wont cure a stiff/sticking vent knob.... And to add, knob wont select some options. Just wondering what likely to be the problem.

Ive read the sticky knob problem thread, and while i have similar i also have a stiff knob. The vent selector knob is stiff and wont turn freely. Im going to start into sorting it and was wondering if anyone had pointers where to start looking and what to watch out for. Also have a thermo...
