just bought (a month ago) a 57 plate auto hse 110k. seems to drive well only niggles are slight humming noise from rear over 40 mph sounds like wheel bearing noise in previous saab and only centre section of heated front screen works. Any thoughts ?

If from dealer get them to sort, if not start saving. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Bought privately but was aware of diff bearing issues. I just wondered whether these cars suffered from wheel bearings as noise similar before I rush off and have diff looked at

As the fleet gets older more will turn up with wheel bearing noise but so far not too common. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Thanks Bob diff bearing it prob is then

Its all to be found via the search button. As with any noise it needs a good motor man to track it down correctly to save wasting money but for anyone definitely needing diff or Haldex work doing if you can get there Bell Enginnering are the safe pair of hands. Find on here or via Google. They also do a exchang service if you can’t get the car to them and will help with diagnosis over the phone.

Bearings on wheels do go rarely so make sure before pulling out a diff and worn tyres can give noise. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Certainly for front wheel bearings consider a complete front knuckle.
The bearing can be very difficult to extract (think 10 ton press couldn't shift it) so by the time you have smashed out the old one, cleaned up the casting, it would have been 4 hours quicker and you would still have skin on your knuckles.

Genuine replacement knuckle/hub can be found for £70 on ebay Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Hi everyone from yorkshire

Hi all, loving this forum. I'm a member of a ducati motorbike forum too and this reminds me of the same great atmosphere and helpfulness. Bit of an intro, been looking to get a freelander for the last year or so and have been reading the many topics here for info and reviews etc. I've read some horror stories about them but don't seem to be put off, maybe I have the LR bug. Currently drive a BMW Z4 but need something practical for the sports and activities I like, and will likely want to do some off road experiences too. Anyone else here ride mountain bikes and frequently put them in there freelander? Please share experiences and thoughts.
