Hi all !

I'm one of many with a 2 wheel drive Freelander. I've found an ird for sale but it's off the 1.8 petrol and I have a 2.0 td4...Will this still fit mine ????

Cheers Mark.

It is identical, even the oil cooler pipes, only the V6 has a different cooler. yes the rubber hoses on a TD4 are different to a 1.8, but the actual cooler pipes they connect onto are the same.

And yes lots of people posting ****e

Yes that s how you remove it, you can do it on axle stands.

The way I do them is (and in this order)
Remove offside front wisbone bolt
Remove offside ARB drop link
Remove lower engine steady bolt
Remove 2 offside rear wishbone/subframe mount bolts
Drop wishbone and knock driveshaft out of ird
Remove 4 remaining subframe bollts (1 offside 3 nearside)
Pull subframe down and rearwards
Remove ird brackets
Remove lower 2 ird/gearbox bolts
Remove upper 2 bolts

This is about the best compromise between amount removed and access
