If you post this question in the Freelander section you'll get the full story but basically the Viscous Coupling Unit (VCU) seizes up due to lack of use(?). The whole drive train 'winds up' identifiable by scuffing on the outer edges of the rear tyres, though it is possible to hide this by fitting new, or unscuffed tyres, before a sale.
