hi folks had a problem with our freelander 1 was driving along and when pushed clutch down to change gear the thing would slow like I was braking hard, then there was a loud clunk from underneath, so stopped and looked could not feel any play in front drive shafts ( have conferted it to 2 wheel drive about a year ago) then when went to move it found it just bangs from front wheels and does not pull so got it recoverd to home could this be drive shaft problems. thanks

The inner CV's cause a vibration almost constantly,
worse on acceleration, but always there..there was a
clunk from time to time when taking up drive,
forwards & reverse and that has now completely stopped
Just had mine sorted,
P.S I had nearly a mile of play in my cv's when underneath checking..
So not the CV's me thinks

If you let them go for a while, they take out their support bearings (in the IRD on RHS).

Thank you for reply.. is there a tell tale sign the support bearings go kaput or about too. TIA

Probably about the same as you're already getting!
I wouldn't mind betting that if it got to bad though, it'd size the front diff and smash your IRD.
