I have a Freelander TD4. It has been standing for 2 months. When i ran it there was a knocking as though something was catching underneath. The faster i went the quicker the knocks. When i jacked it up to spin each wheel individually to find which one was making the sound, the wheels are locked as if in gear. How can i free them so that i can spin each wheel to find which one is the problem?
Thanks

Except if you reverse round corners, then it goes into permanent 2wd

wont the vc have locked up so he cant turn the wheels and the knocking is a result of the stress under there while on hard surfaces?

if not I dont care as I dont really want to know about gaylanders
