wizard:
How can you tell if the vicous coupling (on the prop) is knackered ?
Mrs wizards 98 freelander knocks a bit when reversed. The only thing i can find that looks a bit suspect is the outer casing of the VCU is loose, it looks like it is coming detached from the rubber.....

Any ideas

Regards

Don't know the answer, I'm afraid, but our 2000 MY has always had a slight knocking in both forward and reverse. It's never got any worse, so we've left well alone.

I (or you) could ask the guys on the Freelander Club forum. A wealth of knowledge on there (I'm their Secretary!).

Sorry.. only just spotted this one !

From the Ashcroft Transmissions website :

--- Quote ---
"To check the condition of your unit :

1) put in 1st gear 2) Handbrake off 3) Jack up one rear wheel 4) the wheel should turn slowly with resistance

Please note even a good one will be quite tight. A siezed one will feel like the handbrake is dragging when reversing slowly on full lock"

Hope that helps.

Thanks for that Tim, Mrs wizards VCU must be shot !!!!
When one rear wheel is lifted I can hardly turn it
