Hi I had this holding back problem on my Freelander (petrol) it turned out to be the VCU 4 wheel drive unit - apparently the liquid in the unit had or was losing its (viscosity)solidifying therefore causing the holding back feeling especially when reversing. Had it removed so only front wheel drive until I can afford a reconditoned VCU

Try disabling the rear passenger windows and the tailgate by removing the fuses. I got my Freelander Kalahari 2003 with no electrics working on the tailgate, rear passenger windows and the sunroof. However, my tailgate leaks when it rains !

Hi I have a freelander kalahari 2003 petrol. My windscreen wiper jumped off the windscreen. The passenger side still works, drivers side has come off the spindle or something. I removed the wiper blade so that I could at least use one wiper to see where I was going. Found a useful video on youtube but still don't know how to get the actual windscreen arm off. I have removed the bolt and I have removed the pull off plugs on the plastic moulding. Can anyone tell me how to remove the arm without damaging it ? Also is it possible to fix as the motor seems to be working OK for the other wiper ? I am a recent owner and have been advised to have the cylinder head replaced on this vehicle even though it is running OK. It has done 77K, had a new timing belt in 2011 and I had the themostat replaced early 2015. Have had no problems with overheating, losing water or condensation in the oil cap. I had the VCU removed in Jan because it had apparently seized up. I am hoping to replace this at some stage in the future but want to be sure it is worth doing.
