Welcome
If you've found one, just buy it. Mainly because you cannot buy, sell, or subtly , pretend you are not doing either, onnthis site, unless you have 50 constructive posts.
Once you have it, I am sure there will lots of help and advice in the dedicated Freelander section.

2WD Jim is a good name, I will call you that from now

Not uncommon for shafts to be removed, okay short term.

Not uncommon for shafts to be removed by PO’s. Usually rear diff pin problems.

Rear diff pin??

The reason there are so many 2wd Freelanders is VCU problems.

Thought rear pin was weak point for FL’s?
VCU not cheap

Cheers guys luckily I've found a freelander with a seized engine localish to me can't pick it up till next week tho but I'm hoping just to swap the whole prop assembly, I was told they did it cause the carrier bearings went I assume they meant the vcu, they took the whole lot off so that's why I thought get a donor in the end my ones to nice to strip it's worth saving imo

Donor is good option, check the vcu on donor before picking it up, there’s bound to be a check in the FL forum search bar
