  1. yes the vcu is different on the kv6
  2. don't buy any petrol freelander, better safe than sorry. Td4s are best for performance but are more expensive and less reliable than the older cheaper L-series rover engine.
  3. If you recently bought it from a dealer then its their duty to fix it or take it back and give you a refund. Personnally if it is serious then I'd try and get a refund and buy an L-series diesel.
  4. Just out of curiosity does anyone have a rusty freelander? Mines 9 years old and still rust free.
  5. When i turn on full lock the entire vcu housing rotates with the drive shafts. This causes banging and juddering noises. I discovered this by painting a mark on the vcu and driving in a straight line, the mark didn't move. I then turned full lock drove round in a circle, heard the banging, the mark on the vcu had moved. I haven't solved it , i just live with it.
  6. The td4 has much better performance than the L-series, but the L-series parts are cheaper and it is a solid reliable engine. Both are pigs to work on if you are into diy. The td4 is made by BMW and the L-series is a Rover engine. Definately do not buy a petrol no matter how cheap or good it looks, they are disasters waiting to happen.
  7. I wouldn't buy a second-hand petrol freelander, its not worth the risk of the head gasket failing. You will just loose your money. Buy a diesel. The 2 litre L-series is bomb proof and cheap, its just slow. I have a diesel comercial freelander and its great fun.
