Afternoon. I can't seem to find this problem anywhere else on the forum.
I've bought a 1.8 Freelander as an MOT failure. One of the things I noticed was there was a loud clunk when the clutch was released aggressively on the test drive.
The garage have fixed the faults, put a fresh MOT on it and also noticed the rear prop shaft was at fault making the clunking noise.
The simple solution was to remove the offending part, as on my wifes Freelander and make do with a front wheel drive one.
The issue is, the garage tell me that when they did that, there was no drive to the front wheels, so they have repaired the uj in the shaft and a bearing at the rear of the shaft. I now get vibration/body knocking at certain speeds/rpm which cannot be good. Usually, up hill in 3rd, 3000rpm/30mph
My question is, how or what is wrong with the transmission that doesn't enable it to be a front wheel drive car only? Any ideas or solutions are appreciated.
