Morning all
Right , were to begin
2002 td4 manual
when i brought it , it was already in 2wd mode, no rear prop.
wasnt a problem as it drove realy well and i dont plan on taking it off road.
Now the past few weeks ive spent a lot on it including 4 new tyres, complete front brakes and a full ser4vice and its been driving realy realy well.
however....
Last friday it all of a sudden started grinding, more so when you lift off the throttle, underneath theres no leaks and nothing out of place so i suspect the IRD, the car drove home ok, no vibrations, judders or anything, gears all select ok and the cluctch is ....well....like a freelander realy lol
now i have a few concerns, i havent got a landrover specialist near enough to me and i dont want to drive it too far in its present state and im concerend if i take to my local garage they dont understand how these vehicles work and will rip me off.
ive got prices for a recon IRD 4 wheel drive and for 2 wheel drive ive also spotted the blanking plates available, and from what i can see and read its the output gearing for the rear prop removed then the blanking plate bolted in place......
Quick fix? possible solutions?
Is there anyway with out driving and by jacking it up if i can anyway determine what ill need ? if i can get away with the blanking kit? or its more terminal as in a replacement IRD?
i appologise for the long winded essay. but i thought id give you all a read and a giggle at my expense on a windy rainey morning
Cheers guys
