Hi All
I 'got IRD troubles on my early Freelander1 1.8 petrol (manual)- ..........well it had to happen eventually?!!

The old girl decided to deposit her gear box oil on the car park at work - the primary seals in the IRD appear to be to blame - confirmed - by visual inspection - IRD is on my bench!

My question is where can I source new seals??

I've tried my local friendly independent (thanks for trying Haydn)...He's tried JV like-LR dealer in Brecon - the trouble is the said seals are not listed as available separately on the L/R stock system - I have tried flea-bay - And have seen some rebuild-sets including bearings...but I only need the seals

Any ideas gratefully received...

Many thanks

If you can read the bearing No's or have a measure up, you should be able to get some from most bearing manufacturers / suppliers

Ade,
Try contacting these boys: eBay.co.uk: FREELANDER IRD TRANSFER BOX REBUILD KIT (item 120085155017 end time 09-Jun-07 17:33:08 BST)

eBay.co.uk: Freelander 4x4 IRD Unit - Complete Rebuild Repair Kit (item 140091221619 end time 29-May-07 17:39:45 BST)

Although these are listings for a full rebuild kit including bearings, they may be able to help with locating the seals.

(If they do help, post it on here mate!)

Regards,

before you all rush on to ebay to buy one of these kits , try pricing it up at yer local bearing supplier. i reckon that lot would cost you well less than a 100 notes

Try Ashcroft Transmissions, they are on-line if you can't find them in 4x4 mags.

Hi 3Landers,

i am currently having the same problem as you had with your freelander. My freelander 1 ird needs new oil seals. I only need the 4 primary oil seals. the dealers says it is not a serviceable part and i cant get the seal sizes anywhere. Do you maybe still have numbers of the seals that you got to redo your ird? it would be much appreciated.

Regards
Wilco

Best speak to ashcrofts, the clue is there

Part number on old seal perhaps or digital calipers and measure the components

some times when the seals are leaking it will be because of worn bearings and or planetary shims.have this problem also waiting for my parts to arrive
