I didn't think that the td4 was introduced until 2000. If you have a 1999 freelander diesel it will be an L-series.
Could be your IRD (front diff.) is broken. Is it blanked off? What does the oil in it look like?

This sounds like front outer CV joints. Why the noise is reduced when you removed the prop shaft is that the transmission is not wound-up by the torque which is necessarily induced by causing the VCU to slip.
