Ere's some photo's of a broke'd Freelander ird (intermediate reduction drive). Think of it as a fixed ratio transfer box which takes the drive from the gearbox and passes it to the front wheels via a diff, and also to the rear wheels via the pinion gear.
Unfortunately this one has failed. There's a chip in the larger gear and the case has cracked when the gears were forced apart. Normally caused by too much stress in the transmission. More often than not caused by a vcu (viscous coupling unit) being too tight or the tyres not being the same make/model/size. This one is oft a v6 Freelander which sadly is no longer on the road.
The ird is pictured upside down. When fitted to a Freelander the damage would be on the side closer to the ground.

Don't worry. Some time ago I took over in ere and it's now the 2nd Freelander section. But we let they stay if they're behaved and take their wellies oft. They seem to quite like talking Freelanders with us, amongst many other things. There's the odd few that are quite normal.sounds good to me , lol

That's a real shame. You'll have to give the Freelander back now.

It's been said the other 2 top gear presenters have dropped out of contract renewal talks. Also it's been put forward that it's a stunt to get kicked out of the bbc...

I noticed they didn't show him get in. I assume he's welded the doors shut due to water problems in the past.The doors did not fall off is that because it was not raining?
Not much room for a pig in the back.

Always happy to help.That is a fantastic idea, and may well be the solution I need
Gratch welded his doors up but forgot to wind down the window so he couldn't get in. :doh:
