This is my gut feel. I’m struggling to find anyone to do the work though. The one place I found who estimated 1200-1500 have shocking reviews online, so that’s put me off. Anyone recommend a place in the midlands that might do this? All the others I’ve called either won’t work on freelanders or...

@Nodge68 I have managed to find one gearbox specialist who will take on the job. A new TC is £1700+VAT so they would look to go down the recon route. But even then, combined with the labour their estimate is £1200 to £1500+VAT. All of the others I have tried either won't take on the job, or...

From the haldex I get the jumping/skipping when pulling away from a standing start with any lock on the wheel (pulling away straight is fine). Considering that it has been regularly serviced since my ownership and the most recent service didn’t solve it, my mechanic has suggested it needs...

I guess by well maintained I’m saying it’s had everything done that needs done according to the service book, to the best of my ability and finances. The timing belt being late was a mistake but it didn’t fail so I got lucky. But when it comes to things not in the book, it’s difficult to know...

I own a 2013 FL2 SD4 Auto. I'd like some opinions on whether I should fix the latest issue, or ditch the car for a replacement. Here's some context... - The car has been very well maintained throughout it's lifetime and has just ticket over 100k miles. - I do ~10,000 miles per year - The...
