  1. Sorry if its blatantly obvious but it seems that you are driving it in 4wd on the tarmac?
    This is why the wheels are skidding, thumping and lower power as you are driving all the wheels at the same time and this is detrimental on tarmac only to be done on soft ground or loose surfaces

    Also the transmission is 'winding up' which is causing the issues with the ABS and speed sensors

    Try running it in 2wd all of the time and you shouldn't have any issues
    Good also to put in 4WD when on the appropriate surfaces every so often to keep everything in the 4WD system working free

  2. I think I would get onto the RAC and insist they oversee this situation.
    I cannot see how an ECU has anything to do with a lack of compression and should be a straightforward job 
    Keep us updated on how it goes

     

  3. The wheel bearing should fit into the hub assembly and the flange goes into the middle of the wheel bearing
    If the flange is worn (as in wear tracks on the outer surface then this has been known to cause slack between the bearing even when torqued down.
    The metal is a lot softer than the wheel bearing casing which is hardened steel so can wear prematurely - had it happen on my X-Trail and bought a secondhand hub assembly and new bearing to sort it

  4. You can pop to Halfords and get some universal coolant (pre-mixed to the correct quantity) and top up the tank
    However, there should be a min-max markings on the tank and should be topped to just below max when the engine is cold

  5. Brake servo works by introducing vacuum to one side of the diaphragm and the other side is ambient air. 
    As you press the brake pedal the balance is changed by introducing air to aid braking assistance

    Quite possibly you have a blockage on the pedal side of the servo (the part that introduces ambient air and therefore the servo is running on pure vacuum with the pedal pressure which could blow the servo (diaphragm)?

    Check the filter where the pedal attaches to the servo via a rod and also check the vacuum hose from the inlet manifold (particularly the union which detaches from the servo)

  6. I would have said wheel bearing but if it has been replaced then obviously not

    Did the hub flange look worn? as had to replace a hub along with a new bearing after replacing it previously as horribly worn and still creating a noise

  7. Before you replace any components I would run cleaning chemicals through the fuel and take for a long hard run to see if things improve.
    Once the engine temperature is hot and the revs are high enough then it should make a difference next time you start up

  8. It should function okay, even though it is smaller the flow and filtration will still take place but maybe struggle if the revs are pushed too much

    Would also consider to change it more frequently as smaller surface area for the filter element so maybe keep some in stock?
