Hi, I am being given a 1998 Freelander which is suffering from a rattling/banging noise from underneath which is suspected to be something to do with the rear driveshaft and or diff, when the propshaft is removed it drives perfectly well?
My uncle bought another diff with driveshafts from a scrap yard and replaced the old ones but the same problem occured?
Is my uncle right in thinking the driveshafts/diff is broke or could it be something else?

Thanks Carl.

More likely to be a detached VCU mass damper

My thought as well

Mine went last week, elected to buy a recon from Bell Engineering, as my mileage is 90k. Can buy a repair kit but at £77 + vat versus £200 for a new one seemed best thing to do.
Easy to spot, look at the VCU, if there is a big black metal band dangling round it - that's your man.
