**Approaches the holy wisdom monestery**

So once more, i stand before you, in humble search for answers, oh sages of the Freelander...

ok, seriously now :vb-embarassed-laugh:

Motor: 1999, 2.0di Freelander
Problem:
Last year i´ve removed both prop-shafts, VCU and bearing carriers, bolts, etc.
I´ve placed everything in the basement but unfortunately some months later someone kicked the door in and stole some stuff, including the prop shafts :mad:

Ive found online (with a very reasonably price tag) a second hand propo-shafts with a reconditioned VCU, however its from a Freelander Td4.... Think it would fit?

Cheers lads!

Definitely fit just the damper is different but nothing else
 
Sorry for for loss. What kind of weirdo steals a propshaft? Is a strange and frustrating world.

I believe a TD4 prop is a straight swap. You might need to source the bolts though, unless the replacement prop comes with all you need?

A 750cc motorbike an an L Series Freelander must have pretty similar performance :oops:

Just cos the seller says its a recon VCU - doesn't mean it is... or has been reconditioned well... or indeed is again worn out.

Definitely test it once installed...

And make sure you're tyres are all the same and pumped consistently.

The bolts are sold seperately, but all comes in the same pack, oddly enough.

I belive they got a few shillings in the scrapyard out of the old prop, i recogn
