Ok, I’ve been out for a drive in the car today. It’s seems like the judder starts at a much lower speed and just increases intensity as the car speeds up, or if the car has to struggle like going up hill. Very slight wheel vibration, but mostly the seat and car body shaking. I’m wondering if...

Issue with his Haldex I think..🤔

I’m pretty sure the car can drive in 2wd without the prop, bit of a mission just to rule the rear out?

So like a slipping clutch feeling on a manual car? You go to accelerate, the engine revs but the speed doesn’t increase at the same rate? No it’s not doing that. As mentioned, you can be cruising down a flat road or on the motorway doing 30mph, slowly accelerate upto 40, then accelerate slowly...

I’m not sure what else to check.? How would I check for out of balance prop shaft? The judder kinda feels like it’s coming from under the car but maybe more towards the front, in the footwell or the lower dash between the driver and passenger seat.. If I was driving up a slight incline for...

I replaced the PTU the back end of last year for an ‘up-rated’ one, it was making a droning noise and the bearing had gone. Since replacing the PTU the droning has obviously stopped. At the same time I removed, stripped and cleaned the Haldex and replaced the oil. The one item I haven’t really...

Ok so I’ve been under the car for a while this afternoon, checking suspension parts, prop bearings, rear driveshafts and I can’t see anything obvious.. I swapped the rear wheels with the spare as suggested but made no difference. I’m now wondering if maybe it’s an issues with the Torque...

Just last week I had all 4 wheels balanced and the tracking done, would this not show up at that stage if it was a bad tyre? When you say you had the same issue, vibration but not coming from the steering wheel? The bad tyre you had, was it visibly bad? Or you only realised once you swapped it...

My thoughts too! Or maybe engine mounts?

Checked for callipers binding today while out on a long journey, all 4 wheel cold to the touch so that rules that out! Tomorrow I should find some time to get under the car and check the suspension components.

Hi chaps! Back again with more issues :-( So I’ve now owned the Freelander 2 for 18 months, new PTU, Haldex striped and serviced, two new front driveshafts, blower motor, bonnet catch. Loads of work done. Oils changed etc... I’m currently on my second lot of driveshafts as the Britpart shafts...

Aftermarket but from a reputable supplier (not EBay). It was clicking from day one so I suspect little or no grease inside the boot? Can’t be certain… I spoke to the supplier and at first they tried to dismiss it, then I sent them a video showing it slipping when shifting from reverse to drive...

Yes. Refurb PTU has been in for a few months and seems fine. When I swapped out the old PTU I decided to replace both front drive shafts for new parts, sadly I have an issue with the driver side CV joint nearest the wheel hub! It makes a click noise while driving. At first it was only...

Ok, finally got chance to have a proper look at this tap/click/clunk noise yesterday. So with the wife sat in the driver seat and me under the car! She went from park, to reverse to drive to reverse to drive etc etc…. I couldn’t see or hear anything over the sound of the engine! The wife said...

I’ll take a look and report back!

Hi Guys! As some will know I’ve recently replaced the PTU and front drive shafts on the Freelander, as well as servicing the Haldex and replacing all the oils etc…. The car is now driving much smoother and quieter than before! One thing I have noticed today is when driving between 20mph and...

Exactly!

It is a 2014 model 64 plate. I know they were experimenting with these models and the Evoque. So I’m guessing the gap in the spline are per the design? They didn’t look sheared. I have a mate at JLR and he is currently trying to find out.

It turns out the retaining clip on the new shaft wasn’t the right one! It is suppose to have the lugs, the old shaft clip lug position was 3oclock and 9oclock. The new clip lugs were more like 4oclock and 8 o’clock. So they didn’t line up with the slot in the spline. For now I have swapped the...
