Cheers guys very helpful stuff and thanks for vid

Thanks for that but I have a few spaces I have 3 ird and 2 diffs but only one vcu which I think is on it way out am I right in thinking the way to test the vcu is Reverse round a sharp corner and if it feels like it's braking on its own then the vcu is on its way out I got all these spares but are the ird boxs the same on auto as manuals

Cheers Garry everything else is there apart from the prop and vcu will check the diff and ird before fitting my prop and vcu and that a good point about that insurance glenlivet never thought about that cheers guys

Only realise when I got home it never had no prop shaft on it but what I want to no is will the propshaft off my manual fit on the automatic one or are they different

Hi peeps just after a little advice I have just got another freelander td4 2002 auto and notice the complete propshaft has been removed what I wish to no is will the propshaft off my manual 2001 Td4 fit It

Hi Lee I have just Bought a car with the very similar problem as yours has got just posted on here yesterday what Diagnostic computer kit are you using and when your symptoms appear does your accelerator not respond properly I have to depress mine an inch before the car accelerator. Anthony

Hi people join this forum approx 1-2 weeks ago but as of yet haven't found the page to introduce myself so here goes I have just purchased my first freelander TD4 on a 51 plate with the bmw engine with faults.I am A self taught mechanic with petrol old school that's the time before all of these computers so having a little problem diagnosing faults hope someone can help first let me ask which diagnostic computer is best prefer by the Freelander owner here our the faults On it when starting from cold it's fine but the accelerator pedal isn't responding properly it's moving an inch before the engine starts to rev up and when driving down the road and you take your foot off the accelerator it feels like I have touched the brakes when the engine gets warm it's like it's running on three cylinders the only thing I have done is unpluged the turbocharger boost sensor the one on the left hand side of the inlet manifold as you face the engine thinking it was the maf and the car runs a lot better the accelerator functions normal now and feels like it's running on four cylinders now but with a little bit of a miss-fire I can run it like this but would like to get it sorted any help will be much appreciated
