As the title says anyone recommend which oil youse in a freelander 1 rear diff and ird

Recon have had a closer look and it seems one of the carrier bearings is slightly off angle

Reverse with full lock and the car just stops but if I jack up the back wheel it turns slowly

Is that the cv joints on the driveshafts or the one on the prop the vibration seems to be coming from the front I also have a slight knock from passenger wheel so could possibly be cv boot

The ird , vcu, and bearings where all new the guy I bought it off just put the new ird in but didnt refit props and vcu that's why I deceived to put a new vcu on as it was probably the vcu that damaged the ird originally

Just fitted a new vcu on my freelander as it was in 2wd when I got it and there seems to be a lot of vibration coming through the floor especially around 30mph is this normal or have I fitted it incorrectly

just taped them on with a socket and one doesnt even spin at all i also learne that when you use a reverse puller to remove the old ones cover the end of the shaft where the threads are as i damaged mine on the inside where the prop to vcu bolt goes :mad:

Hi looking to buy a recon vcu I decided not to use freelander spares uk who are local to me after reading some bad reviews on here so I'm looking at a company called landrover city has anyone used these before

I'm busy fitting new bearings to my vcu but there so tight there not spinning am I doing something wrong or is that how they are

Thanks for the advice will leave it off the road till I can get the recon vcu

Seeking advice as I wasn't sure whether to leave it in 2wd or buy the part and put it back to 4wd

I've looked at them but to far away there is a place in Durham recons them including new bearings will probably get the recon unit just incase the old one caused the transfer box to fail cheers

Hi new here after buying my first landrover freelander and my question is when I bought it the previous owner had a new transfer box fitted and told me the garage that did the work offered to save him money on his fuel by not fitting the vcu,prop shafts back on to make it 2wd, I did receive...
