Hi Richard, and welcome to LandyZone.

Do a search for VCU and the VCU mounts / bearings - there is lots to read because folks often remove the prop to hide other transmission faults like the IRD and the rear diff.

There's load of info on here if you search.

Get yourself a Haynes manual - you'll need it.

Beware - introduce yourself before the rough tough tratters find another noobie.

Don't be put off - it's all banter.

How old is the Freelander, what model, petrol or diesel.

Lots of folks can help here. As well as take the ****.

Hoo-ah!

Singvogel.

Just to show I can be helpful..
