@Nodge68 Thanks for your earlier input Nodge. The noise did indeed turn out to be something else: PTU's raging against the dying of the light and failing miserably. If I can get hold of one of these without having to gift someone a kidney, do you know if they are straightforward to swap out?

Hi Nodge, the only answer to that is twofold (though one might be me talking through my rear end) in that when the shaft wasn't installed there were no noises. I had previously, and briefly, installed an aftermarket one that was simply awful whilst driving. The new one (if its the culprit)...

Hi all, I've just installed a new (OEM) prop shaft onto my vehicle. I've been running in 2WD for a couple of weeks but have finally gotten round to putting the new one in place. But now there's a noise, most obvious if just going downhill with no accelerator but also when slowing down as per...

Replacement shaft was correct length. Original replacement was a BG Automotive brand (too long), the replacement replacement was Apec branded. From my original I measure 522mm (+/_ 1mm) from the inboard end of the shaft to the centre of the carrier bearing. Thanks for your help Nodge / GrumpyGel

Replacement arrived and is the correct length. First one was branded BG Automotive and the second, correct length, one was Apec branded. I measured the original and on the car and got a measurement of 522mm (+/- 1mm) from the end of the shaft (inboard end) to the centre of the support bearing.

I've got the exact same problem. Hopefully the replacement for the replacement (arriving tomorrow) will be the right one

Thanks Nodge. I await tomorrow's replacement with baited breath....

Good evening all. I've got an issue replacing the RH drive shaft/CV shaft on my FL2. I'm replacing the whole thing but I've got an issue that mayor may not be resolved tomorrow. Leaving aside the reliabilty/false economy of using 3rd party parts, here's the issue: The replacement part fits but...

Hi all, whilst swapping onw thing I've managed to mangle the threads on the wishbone ball joint on my FL2. I've seen Euro Parts selling just the ball joint (with nuts and bolts) instaed of the whole wishbone, on which originally the ball joint is riveted in place. Anyone used these or know if...

Hi, can anyone recommend any seat covers for FL2? I'm looking for the stretchy type that end up looking fitted (for want of a better description). Had a set previously from Aldi or Lidl but they got tired and now I can't seem to find any that fit as well. I've tried 2 sets (one in the...

Hi, its an FL2

Good afternoon all. I posted a thread previously about a whirring/mechanical noise whilst driving that disappeared when cruising along nicely. I've finally found the time to start to put the tools to work and I've removed the prop shaft. The noise I was experiencing has gone but now many...

Nodge68, thanks for that. I'll have to get under and around and see if anything shouts out. I'll have a butchers for the other manual 👍

Good morning all. My first foray into the world of all things Freelander 2 following a baptism of fire as the owner of a P38. It all ended in tears :) I've now got a 2009 GS diesel. Happy(er) days! My questions of the day however are thus: I have a noise happening when I drive and the revs...

Hi, sadly, due to the unfortunate demise of my P38 at the tender age of 23, I've had to get a new vehicle. So, I have for sale a set of 4 Thule lockable feet that will fit Thule roof bars. There are 2 keys, but you'll need to supply your own bars. I'm after £40 (collected) or I'll post them...
