Informative thread, I had always thought these 2wd irds that heard of had rear output blanked in all cases. So it seems that if I decide t buy another freelander in the future, im goin to have to do a one wheel up test before buying just to check that there is rear drive.......:5btoetap05:

Yep. Peeps often disconnect the drive to the rear to hide faults. Dodgy sellers (read as those who refuse to stamp a 2 wheel drive only IRD when the supply/fit it to say it's 2 wheel drive) happily sell them and the risk is on the next owner if they don't get told or don't test. If you don't jack up wheels and check what turns, you run the risk of buying someones hidden secrete.
