Hi, my girlfriends Freelander has just gone into the garage due to a loud clonking noise (didn’t hear it myself but that’s what I’m told), the mechanic has said that the transfer box/IRU has gone. He tried to disconnect the rear to just have FWD but was still making a noise. He reckons it has completely gone and the bit I can’t understand is he said it may have damaged the gear box too?!?
I’ve never worked on a Freelander, have owned discovery’s, defenders and built hybrid off roaders, so I am mechanically capable. However I have no knowledge what so ever on the Freelander.
So my questions are,
Is it possible that the gearbox is damaged?
Is it a difficult job to replace the IRU? (Haynes manual is in the Freelander at the garage so can’t have a look)
Cheers
Steve
