If you download the RAVE cds the freelander handbook is on there or you could buy 1 off ebay have seen them for about £8

A guide to the wiring would be very helpful, can you list the maplin parts as well so I know what to buy from them Was hoping to do the front upgrade soon but having to buy a new IRD box has put that plan on hold for a while

Garage have quoted approx £1000 to fix my transfer box, not a good day

I know all the rear diff mounts were changed in the last few months, and the sub frame mountings were welded up as 1 of the captive nuts had come loose, The VCU seemed to be working to me when jacked up, hadnt dont the tipp ex test on it though

Has no one been able to find a gearbox specialist or engineering shop that would re condition your IRD for you if you take it off and give them it, surely this must be cheaper than buying one.

Sounds exactly what I am looking for

Thanks for clearing that up, just waiting to hear back from the garage to see whats wrong with it

Have you got a wiring diagram for the headlights ? this is the only part that is putting me off doing the conversion to my freelander

Was looking on ebay at IRDs incase that is what is wrong with my freelander, and there is a guy selling blanking plates for your IRD , dont know if it is someone on here or not, just wondered if anyone had any more info on it and if it would work ok, basically it says take the main output shaft...

It just happened suddenly no warning, driving down a slip road and bang, sounded like the prop shaft was ready to come off, Having worked with machinery for years that regularly snapped shafts and ujs this was exactly what it sounded like but when I went underneath the prop was fine , so I am...

Foley do vehicle conversions including the defender 130, FOLEY SPECIALIST VEHICLES might not be the company you are looking for though

think there could be several bits of teeth rattling round in mine from the sounds of it

Mine is undriveable, going into garage tomorrow to see what is wrong with it, Im expecting the worse as have already had it up on ramp and rear diff is ok so am expecting the IRD to be kanckered

Sounds like the same problem that I am having

Booked in to get looked at on tuesday, if it is the IRD do you get places that re con them like you do with gearboxes ?

I have seen 2" lift shocks for sale can these be fitted with the standard springs or do I need to find 2" longer springs as well ?

I have got a problem with my Freelander 99 model diesel , was driving it yesterday when a banging sound started from underneath, took it to a garage who put it up on the ramps jacked it up to see if the wheels were turning freely which they are front and back, the garage seem to think it might...

any idea of what wire does what

Have looked at the wiring diagram for the front central locking and 1 side has 5 wires and the other side has 6 wires any ideas ?

Will have a look at the wiring diagram for the freelander and see if that helps
