Hi in the process of changing the vcu centre bearings, i have managed to get the rear one off but the front one is not budging any tips? Also when i fit the new ones, how exactly do they fit? Is it as easily as to push them onto the vcu splines or has anyone got any hints as they seem to be a tight fit.... Thanks

Phew panic over, just seen mechanic, Snapped alternator belt !!! Was expecting worse :-)

Great start to a Monday morning.... Set off on my 20 mile journey to work, half way there then lost power steering, brakes and battery light came on dash...! Temp gauge very eratic, managed to get a few more miles down road to a safe place and temp gauge nearly in the red. Freebie been using a lot of water, had it in garage a few weeks ago thinking it had a water leak, mechanic couldnt find any leaks? so i just kept topping up... Think i have caused long term damage. Its a 2.0L diesel commercial 2000 year Any thaughts ?

Thanks evolwood, fellow cumbrian ere, thanks for the advise. will it be ok to still drive until i have time to sort the thermostat?

will the freebie be ok to drive until i get it sorted?

Any help on how to check if thermostat stuck and how to unblock an airlock? I did fit a new water pump about 3 month ago but everything was fine until now?

Hi thanks for that, would the thermostat stop the temp gauge from working? I have just checked water levels all ok, i have ran the engine for 15 mins and the water is hot in the water tank but the temp gauge doesnt work?

Hi hoping to get some advice, I have a freelander 2.0td L series year 2000 commercial. While travelling to work over the last few days i noticed my temperature gauge isnt moving, its stays in the cold part and does not rise, on top of that the heater only blows warm air and does not get as hot as it used to. I have checked my water levels and have never ran it low on water. The freebie still drives as normal... Any suggestions?

Hi, i removed my prop a cpl of months ago as i need to hunt down a vcu and replace it. Since i removed the prop i get a clunk when i change gear and its getting to me !!! I never noticed the clunk before i removed the prop. Sounds to me that something should be fixed but iam not sure what it could be? Any ideas? Thanks

Hi my freebie is having problems starting, when i turn the key in the ignition nothing happens just a click under the dash. It will maybe start after 3-6 times but until it does i just get a clicking under and seems to be getting worse. Could it be my starter motor? Any help please..

Thanks for the reply fridge, i got it sorted, fitted a new water pump and everything is working as it should..

Hi i have a leak on my freebie and i have identified the leak coming from the coolant pump, mines a 2000 L series turbo diesel, iam guessing the o rings have gone? Anyone know if i need a new pump or can i strip it and replace the O rings with new ones?

Thanks egg n chips i knew i could rely on you in times of trouble

Hi just jumped in my feebie and it wont start?? It turns over but wont fire up, its a 2.0L Diesel year 2000. Something strange is happening as the radio went dead a cpl of weeks back, i checked fuses all ok, so i left the radio for dead and was going to get a new one in the future, however this morning when i jumped in, i turned the key and the radio came on but it wont start? Iam no expert and not sure if it could be an electrical fault hence the radio? Any help please?
