You know you can send away the Haldex ecm and have the ‘scrabble’ mod done, right? (Assuming gen4) Mine was scrabbling, had the mod, perfect now.

Rounding them up like sheep…? 😲

I think the fuel cap retainer breaks for a hobby!

Dunt mention rust nor leaks though 😉

Properer Land Rover what dunt rust and leak 👍

Amongst other things, a good set of 6-sided metric sockets and spanners is a must !

Those words do not all belong in the same sentence

I’m officially jealous! Well done you.

And pictures! A freelander on a road trip like that… we want pictures!

So the working assumption is ‘drivetrain’ issue? I’d start with the obvious - any loose bearings / mounts on the prop or rear diff? If the CV joint was fubar, it would normally be noisy when making a full-lock turn left or right.

If it works, it works 😉

Nope. I haven’t put another screen in it. I have put a usb player via the aux line in and 12v cigar lighter, which sounds excellent through the factory system. Lots to choose from, depending on what you want it to do / quality your willing to pay for.

I thought perhaps it fired an oil slick from the rear…?
