I am going to remove the propshaft to make my 1.8 freelander a 2 wheel drive.
have seen a lot about how to do this. But my question is do I need to remove the
final drive from the IRD unit and if a blanking plate or can i just leave it in place.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
 
If you really have to, just take off the props and VCU - leave the IRD output as is. Why remove the props anyway, just as the weather is set to become more wintry ??

Unless you need to remove the prop because of a faulty VCU, don't do it.
All the advice you have been given about saving fuel, or a 2WD FL being better, is complete BS.
 
Thank you but I need to as the VCD is faulty will get a new one and fit it at some time but not within the next 6 months or so. So to keep it up and running will remove the prop
 
Snow if only and for you up there in somerset it all water not snow;)
Thank you for you replies :tea:
 
I run FL 1.8 ran it for 3 months with no prop..waiting for recon....and no difference to note on fuel
Economy. regards Gary
