Good reply for what it worth now, I can live with being 2wd than paying for replacement parts on the premise it already trashed from the previous owner. Also not having a massive cashflow being a carer tend to weigh up a budget. My fault for burnt fingers and testament to do research research research first when buying a Freelander.Fit the props and save £300 pa on insurance.
My only snag is the previous cover from AF was bearable at 500 odd pounds then the new insurance came through with 733 pounds. It getting to the stage were the only upgrade will be a for sale sign as they literally driving people off the road with VED Insurance plus what next needs repairs. Looks like a future plan to save some well earned pennies I guess.There always a catch, with any plan.
It's pretty cheap to check the IRD, as to its suitability to return to 4x4. Once you've proven that it's OK, you should be able to find a set of props for very little money. With some ingenuity, it's possible to refurbish the VCU at home, for little outlay.
You'll obviously need matching tyres, but in the long run, you'll save by not paying over the odds on insurance.
