hi im new to the forrum i will update my info soon but can anyone please help i was sat today with the drivers side of my freelander on the road and the passenger side on soft ground when i pulled of or tried to only the back passenger wheel was turning hense i was stuck no other wheel spun apart from that back wheel has my rear dif gone? if sso anyone know where i can get a cheap recon part from also when i drive if i change down gear or release the clutch quickly i get a loud bang at the back is this the drive shaft or the dif again cheers:mad:
 
Got a low miliage rear diff knocking about in my garage if you are interested?:cool:
The bang sounds like your mounts are shot though - fear not - cheap and easy.
Get under the rear diff and try to push the front of it (where the main prop shaft goes into it) upwards.
If the mount is shot you will notice!!! Easy peasy to replace and part resonably priced from the dealer.
 
have you got traction control? If fitted, it should have got you out.

One wheel spinning and not the other is what a diff does so its not broke, a diff allows each wheel to turn at different speeds so that when cornering, the tyres dont scrub out.

The bang you speak of is caused by a worn rear diff mounting, usually the front mount.
 
well iv had the 3 rear mounts replaced and when i was boged down on the passenger side only one wheel was moving and yes i do have traction control so ??? my misses says the motor is a sack of .... you know what but i like it and would love to keep my treasure so im stuck cos landrover isle of man looked at it then £1000 later i still have the same problem so if any one could suggest what to do before the misses gives me more greaf i would appreciate it cheers gents
