It will let you down before long, it needs to be repaired. I think the part is about £80 + Fitting, a few members have done it them selves. Have a look in my gallery, there are a couple of PDF's on how to go about it.

cheers for the info. I've only had it for a few weeks its only done 35,000 miles . Its time to test the garages warranty small print out then LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 TD4e GS
