For a wild guess, drop the freelander unit and celotape this beaut in its place ?
Then set fire to it ( according to the world of 90 Boy before he arrives and starts spouting his rhetoric )

if you look at the front of the diff - there is, what looks like, a VCU. 'cept it is electrically controlled. If this could be mated to the back end of a Hippoo - you would have electrically controlled, proportional 2/4wd drive .
nuff sed?

no idea - dint say it would be easy - just the idea of an electric VCU is better than the crap fitted to Hippoos.
Dont the hippootoo have an electronic system?
update
Hippo final drive ratios are 3.14 or 3.214(early).
X-T final drive ratio is 2.466.
here is a x-section thru sed device.

so unless yer prepared to spend a small fortune getting the proper gears made up yer idea of selotaping it on is shoit, but the theory int bad maybe yer could butcher the leccy bit on to a gaylander diff

it werent the actual grafting on - just at that price, if someone wanted to have a play - it was no a bad price.

I like the concept whereby the mech is inline with the drivetrain.
This alone, might overcome any MOT issues 'vehicle not presented as it was designed' and all that. Proportions would be the same as the FL bits
Slob had suggested the series transfer box in another Mondo mode thread, equally good idea, but it would sit adjacent to the drivetrain. Any smart-arse inspector might get a bit shirty about any glaringly obvious mod/add on.
Looking at the schematic diagram:
where exactly does it move on the pinion shaft and coupling?
Whats that collapsable washer thingy
could the front half of the X-T diff replace the VCU altogether?
I thought MHM said the leckky bit was all sensors, can it be overcome with an analogue input?
These are the million dollar Q's
I can see this becoming another Mondo Mode Mega thread part II
We're not outta the woods yet chaps

where exactly does it move on the pinion shaft and coupling? the coupling unit does the, erm, coupling.
Whats that collapsable washer thingy pre-load on the pinion
could the front half of the X-T diff replace the VCU altogether? it is a sealed unit - so you would have to replace the o/p shaft/pinion and re-seal the case
I thought MHM said the leckky bit was all sensors, can it be overcome with an analogue input? it is current controlled, but yes it could be done.
These are the million dollar Q's
when do i get my million dollars?

I thought LR solved the problem with the VCU/IRD when they changed the ratio of the IRD post 2001
They did G99......................only there was never a recall for tens of thousands of FL1 with the old ratio. You are still going to get wear on the VCU, depending on vehicle speed, cornering, terrain etc
Besides, with a switch 2wd/4wd selector, think of the fuel saving alone, then you just switch to 4wd when you need it.
Works for the Honda CRV, Nissan X-Trail and others
