It's a Freelander not a rusty ole tratter. 2x Weetabix and yer could lift it yerself.
But cos im all rufty tufty and burly that getting under it to lift it from the centre of the rear axle is a ****ter.

There's jacking points at the sides both front and rear on the pic I looked at in the manwell.But cos im all rufty tufty and burly that getting under it to lift it from the centre of the rear axle is a ****ter.

It's a good idea on all 4WD to rotate front to back to even up wear, on a lot of vehicles with a VCU for RWD such as the Nissan **** trail the warrenty is void on the VCU if the difference in tyre wear front to back is noticable.
To me it looks like the rear lifting points are inside the front part of the rear wheels. Not sure if it changed during the differing model years.The rear ones are behind the wheels. Its easier to jack on the centre. I say easier i mean its not totally impossible.
I did not know that, when does the clutch engage? The **** trail also has an electronically operated clutch, but if you run in 4WD mode uneven tyre wear front to back knackers the VCU PDQ. I'm only looking on here to see what the Freelander is in reliability terms. Currently I have a P38.Eh? They have an electronic clutch for the AWD on the front of the rear diff...
It's the X-Trail I'm on about.. My mate next door has one and it's a great road car for all weathers and not bad in mild off roading. One thing though- it's bloody reliable.. but... BORING!
Anyway, the leccy clutch for the AWD is where the prop joins the back diff which only kicks in when the fronts slip- just like our VCUs. But does not have a VCU. I would imagine that uneven tyre wear would still knacker things PDQ if used on road in AWD mode. The only thing I really like about it is the heated/cooled cup holders (that don't require Go Go Gadget arms to reach) and the pasty-warming locker in the dash!
My Xtrail diesel was far from reliable, worse than any LR product, Engine ECU firmware problems, turbo failures, intercooler failures, brake failures, clutch problems etc. All in all a heap of crap. According to the dealer it had a VCU and there was something about it in the handbook with emphasis on tyre wear.It's the X-Trail I'm on about..

Does that depend on year? Haldex? Just a slipping clutch system hydraulically controlled is it not? Whatever it was, it was a regular failure item.Nope not viscus. Hadlex type thingy.
