The prop shouldn't be in a straight line, you cannot run/design a prop without the uj's having an angle otherwise it caus3d massive vibrations.

lol, thats not exactly a FL2 diff. I don't call machining up housings, bearings, shafts a simple job for 99.9% of the population. Even if that is simple for you it still not worth the effort or cost ;-).

Lol, have you ever even looked underneath a car?? I build several of these diffs a week I know how they work. If you want to a fit a FL 2 haldex to a FL1 go ahead, please take some photos as you do it so we can see the simple task pmsl!!

???? The freelander 2 haldex is part of a the diff, so it's not a simple task

sounds like a camshaft sensor, when fooked happens hot or cold

its a non starter, the haldex is built into the rear diff so cant just use it on a FL1 in replacement of VCU. Maybe you could try and fit a FL2 diff to a FL1 but it would require custom rear subframe and then there would be ratio differences. Even if you overcame the physical installation...

Just fitted 225/75/15 steels from a 1995 cherokee, fit fine (needed 5mm spacers at back to fit the drums. Offset is less that FL so spaces wheels out nicely

Both

Gas smell is caused by rear diff overheating and cooking the oil. The burnt oil smells like gas. Overheating is caused by mismatched tyred and/or tight vcu. Very common when garages put new front tyres on to sell a car

its not a gas smell is it???

These are for freelander 1 only. And they are just the LSD internals. We run them in some kit/race cars. Work very well

Landrover say the pinion bearing damage is attributed to the way in which the coupling applies torque when moving away from standstill or during slow-speed manoeuvring, the reflash changes this. Personally i don't see this as being the main issue, the problem is the bearing is simply too small...

Haldex 4 was fitted from 09 onwards, seems that these are failing earlier than the 07-08s with the mechanical Haldex 3 units. Just had 2 in this weekend, 10 plates both done mid 30k and diffs Gone. Previous one in was an 07 with 110k on the clock. You can get the Haldex 4 reflashed which...

Just sorted my td4 out, was a bastard to start, would fire initially then would not start. Occasionally it would start and then ran perfect. Diagnostics showed up manic cam sensor readings, 2nd hand sensor for £15 runs a treat. Same sensor as lots of bmw and rover 75s

hit the plug with a hammer first, should undo fine then

Please note our phone lines have been down since xmas eve, bt are working on resolving the problem, but until then the phone numbers on this page do not work and we can only receive emails when we login away from the workshop it is possible to get hold of us on the temporary mobile number...

So what model year is this??? What repair have they exactly offered??

Yeah red the how to on the oil levels, just gotta get the oil in. Should of just bought a manual I can fix them

Disco went 2 years ago, mpg was a killer. Been in a pretend 4x4 since (qashqai) but wanted a cheap 4x4 for winter

Cheers hippo. I don't pretend to know anything about autos, not my bag at all. It's a car I bought for myself with a fecked IRD according to the bloke selling it. I wanted to just put a new ird in and drive it through the winter, wasn't expecting other hidden gems. The ird is in so next port of...
