Yup, I had two injectors on a TD4 that were blowing past the copper washers. Pain in the rear to get the injectors out but otherwise an easy job.

10mm.

If you've swapped the camshaft position sensor (assuming the wiring to the ECU is OK) then I'd next be thinking crankshaft position sensor or fuel pressure sensor given you've checked most of the usual suspects.

Actually, I redid the test today and I was at 25 seconds (rounding up). It started chucking it down the other day so I might have been a bit distracted and in my haste tested it with THE WHEEL GOING BACKWARDS!

Ok, replaced the VCU with one from Bell Engineering and done a quick test after the vehicle has had a 200 miles shakedown. 1.2m with 5kg hanging on it and the time for 45 deg to horizontal averaged out at about 35 sec. The old unit at 125k took 50 seconds. I'll keep an eye on it every 5000...

Yeah, or £38 then £353 ;) (altho I got mine for about £150, and it REALLY works)

Could the problem be the bearing on top of the strut? Has that been checked?

Or this, which I've used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laser-Diesel-Injector-Extractor-with-Air-Hammer-Adaptors-6263-NEW-In-Safe-Box-/311432899587

Thanks for that. I know next to F-all about NCT.

Yeah, gonna give the unit 100 miles or so of shimmy first to settle in, but I did do a quick test and it seemed to be in the mid 20 seconds.

Replacing the master cylinder is easy enough, but if there's a problem with the slave then that's a gearbox off job and you might as well do the clutch at the same time.

Not going to reinvent the wheel because Hippo already has an awesome writeup of the process here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/freelander-1-vcu-bearing-replacement-how-to-guide.156068/ Instead, I'll just post a few thoughts and and "what I'd do next time" tips: You need a 17mm and...

Not sure about NCT but it would pass UK MOT.

What's the mileage? Checking the master cylinder as huffhuff mention is a good idea, so is what freelance said. Other than that, it seems to be how they are once the clutch gets some miles (I just had a new clutch fitted and the difference is like night and day).

Replaced the VCU and bearings (I was up to 45 seconds on the test, so, since I'd fitted a clutch, thought I might as well get this done). Back on the road OK and the slight VCU bearing noise is gone.

Are Land Rover not replicate the issue or are they saying it's nothing?

Pulsing at full lock (which is I think what you're describing) could be a lot of things. I'd first take a look at the power steering fluid levels. Maybe it's low. Another possibility is that there's a leak in the low pressure side pulling in air. Check to see if the fluid is milky. I'm assuming...

Could you tell me more about these mounts ...

Check the continuity through the switch with the stick in R.

Why not send it back to the seller? Distance selling act, cooling off periods and all that.
