Freelander 2 (LR2) Diff/steering problem

Just bought a 13 plate freelander 2. When I turn and get anywhere near full lock I get a serious juddering from the rear. This stops as soon as I straighten up. Took if back and it was test driven by a mechanic and was told no fault codes were showing, there were no probs from a visual inspection and that they all do it and it was probably worse because the front tyres are new and the rear ones part worn !!!! Can anyone please advise?

I take it you didn't buy it 4 years ago and have been loitering in LZ wondering how to compose you're first post?

I take it you have only just bought this vehicle?

If so - give it back to them, ask for your money back. They should not judder on full lock. Do you think LR would have sold any of therm if they did!

They may be right about the tyres, it is a reason why AWD vehicles break. As such they shouldn't have sold it to you like that. Depends how mismatched they are, if they are a different make/model of tyre then that's a catagorical no-no even on a F2 I would have thought.

The vehicle almost certainly has a problem with its tyres and/or Haldex and/or rear differential.

Previous owner has recognised this and got rid cos he/she found out how expensive it is to fix that sort of stuff. You should get your money back you do not know what sort of damage has already been done.

Try disconnecting the fuse for the Haldex and see if it still does it

If it stops then the issue is with the Haldex coupling

Thanks to everyone at Landyzone for the advice and for the info that’s posted. I took the vehicle back to the trader and with what I had learnt I insisted that it was looked at properly. They sent it to a LR main dealer where it was inspected and the Haldex was replaced. Once again thanks to all

Thanks fer letting us know the result
