Statement of the obvious Vissie but I need to know how to unjam the plot rather than replace with possibly the most ridiculously priced part on this great vehicle!
I've got one that seems as though the diff lock is engaged and only dissengages if unplugged at the rear diff lock motor. Any ideas on this one
Hi im fitting a rear diff to a freelander 2 and wondered if it needs the software programmed in after fitting
My son is about to replace his diff on his 07 with 80k on the clock, for the same reasons as many other posters in this thread. He is going to attempt it with a mate who is good with the spanners. Straight swop with a low mileage diff from a write off, rather than a rebuild which may not be the best way of solving the problem?
Can't see why it would effect the software, but would be interested if someone actually knows for a fact.
Just to put my part of this to bed, my son took his 07 FL2 into Guy Salmon, Maidstone today to properly diagnose his knocking/bearing noise that RCV had said was a knackered diff...Turns out that it is a nearside wheel bearing which will be replaced tomorrow.
I have no axe to grind with RCV as I have found them to be very reliable in the past, but just goes to show how difficult noises are to trace......Rear diff v front bearing:der:
I have a 2008 Freelander. It recently developed rear diff noises. Went to an independent garage - quoted c.£1,500 to repair. Rang LR customer care after reading forums and was told to take it to local LR garage and tell garage I'd been in contact with LR CC. Was quoted £500 by garage to repair inc VAT. LR CC agreed to contribute £250 - didn't have to pressurise them much into doing so other than say I'd been on the forums. £250 for this repair after 66K miles seems fair - but a recall for this particular age of vehicle would perhaps have been better customer PR.
