I`d have to agree with you on this one, 4x4 is 100% better in all conditions as far as im concerned....Mines gone stiff after 120k so I think its time for a new one......

But as you say if you have got a new one fitted why take it off? If its all working fine etc leave it on......

How are these reconditioned ones? I have a funny feeling im going to get a new/reconditioned one....and its just going to feel the same......Saying that ive never driven any other freelander, so not sure what to expect.......Mine was starting to get very tight on full lock....wheels would drag sometimes on full lock...you could feel it wasnt right........

In NI it will fail the MOT in 2wd, as the vehicle is not presented as it was designed.

Test centres are heavily regulated by DVTA

Roller brake test uses counter rotating drums to get round the 4x4 transmission, state of the art facilities!

Recon units from Bell engineering are great, I fitted one ( and new bearings) to mine a while back and all is well, I did notice a bit of resistance whilst reversing on full lock but I gather this is normal (hopefully anyway! Lol)
