Steve: ssshhh... landrovers never breakdown, don't give trouble or have an electrical faults ! Didn't you know that when you bought the thing ?

Steve and Deb, I personally have a TD5, and have not heard any transfer case whine. Clunk, however, is very evident when you remove and reapply power, such as in traffic.

When is the cruise control surging? Is it on the flat, or only when travelling downhill? If travelling downhill, it's normal, as the system doesn't know what to do if the vehicle holds the set speed by itself. The cruise will accelerate and deccelerate continually, causing a surging effect. If this is not when the problem is occurring, I'd suggest that you take your local dealer for a ride and show him, and just keep hammering them until they fix it! Bill

thanks bill, the cruise control is surging on the dead flat so we are having a word with the dealer. Steve
