Remove the rear prop as a matter of urgency - that will give yu time to resolve the issue and remove the risk of further damage.

if it wer mine I'd be droppin the oil out the IRD and rear diff ;)

if its bin used like that for a while it could be full o bits o metal ;)

makes a very effective grinding paste to wear wots left of the gears ;)

thanks for the tip think i will do ,the motor was parked up from xmass till now so that might have done it ?
 
Stupid question but when you put two lines on the vcu are you sure you put them at the correct places ?? (I think it's better to put a mark on the two drive shafts instead ?) And turning the wheel when it's jacked up needs a certain amount of effort/strength as far as I can see from others who did the test ? (Some even mentioned to put an extra length of tube before they could get some movement in it ????)

Freelander 1 VCU very stiff. Will it damage anything to use it for a day off-road &/or will I get stuck?
