So just today I've noticed that steering hard in an indoors parking lot (uphill but not downhill which is weird) the tyres start screeching intermitently, a little bit. Could this be the viscous coupling in the transfer case? I thought these units a reliable generally speaking? An oil change jn the t case was on the cards one of these days, I hope it won't be an issue anymore but if it is, what modifications would it require to fit a discovery 1 t case on, if its even possible? I know the p38 one is electrically actuated... Also the ratios are different I believe... I would have the possibility of changing the viscous coupling at my workshop after hours, but is this a worthwhile in investment or should I just go with a used unit? Many thanks.
Firstly the drop for the props from an LT230 is on the other side of the P38. so we could say a No to that.
Check tyre pressures, Many will squeal in carparks even fiat500s as the surface is covered in rubber and not washed .
I am sure there is a test for the VC on here somewhere, but they are pretty robust under normal use.
I would be looking elsewhere for your PS issue, Fluid level?
