Hi all, just joined this site, bought a 1999 Freelander with no propshaft and was wondering if it's possible to fit a propshaft without the IRD and a VCU?

The proshaft is used to allow power from the engine/gearbox/ird to get to the rear wheels via the vcu and rear diff. No point in fitting a prop if yer vcu is missing. It won't do any thing as it not connected.

Normally when the vcu or/and the props are missing, there's some thing wrong with the transmission. Many remove something to reduce the stress to make faults dissapear. Cheap fix.
