Nodge along with a few others that could probably give a better answer but have you serviced the haldex system, change the transmission oil etc. I have the SD4 2011 and on occasion had the same message but often due to the severe cold we experience up here hence the regular servicing of the oil...

thanks Nodge,

Just wondering if anyone knows a good place to get the special tools for the diff rebuild, I have already got the pinion locknut special tool from paddocks, but need the torque measurement tool and the support frame. The only place I could find these was on JLR Tooling and equipment shop and...

Got the diff off this evening and will proceed to replace the bearings in the next few day/weeks. Couple of questions Nodge if I may. How did you measure the preload/torque on the pinion bearing (did you use the LR special tool) and did you use the special support frame for the diff. If not...

thanks for the update Nodge, in the process of dropping the diff myself, may well come back with a few questions as I proceed. :-)

okay just read Nodge's post, last time I looked it hadn't been updated, so got the answer "The propshaft is centred to the diff flange within a cup. It is a mild interference fit, but is easily removed as there are 2 access holes on the diff side to tap it free with a suitably sized drift...

Just wondering if anyone has successfully disengaged the propshaft from the haldex/diff. It is a 2011 f2 SD and if so how did you do it. I've seen a few threads/videos on the earlier freelanders but not on my one. I need to replace the pinion bearing in the diff which will be a first for me but...

I''l be kind and answer that difficult question as to what LR means (if that brain block hasn't moved yet) LR = ........ wait for it....... drum roll ....... Land Rover :confused::D:D:D

the engine should not be running, it should however be at 60c, either used a OBDII reader which will give a readout of the temperature or a thermogun heat reader thingy ( can't think of proper name) on gear box, alternatively take it for a good run. Yes you do need to get under the car to take...

haven't you rebuilt that Diff yet, just wondering cause if it isn't the rear bearing that has gone then it will be the diff and a step by step guide would be useful. :)

it is time to replace the rear wheel bearing on the old girl, I've been doing a bit of reading and reading about special tools etc, is it possible to do this job with just a press or do I need these special clamps, having said that is is more than like to escape grief if I buy the whole...

don't know if this helps but here in sweden you can get them slightly cheaper but then there is the postage. https://www.reservdelar24.se/bildelar/land-rover/stralkastare/freelander-2-fa.html...

If you have access to a Gap OD11 reader it will turn off the power mirrors, it was one of the main reason I brought mine so I could turn off the power mirrors for the winter as they get frozen solid over here but it has paid for itself in other ways as it is a 800kilometer journey to the nearest...

As said above , 2 new on the rear should be okay, it is what I do.

that's a pretty vague description, you say you went out for a trial, what do you mean, ie giving the vehicle a little run, or have you been off roading. Rotating noise could be anything from tyres, ie do they need pumping up, if the vehicle has been left for any length of time it could mean the...

try to see if you can get one of these https://fyndline.se/products/smart-dammsugarmunstycke?gclid=Cj0KCQjwppSEBhCGARIsANIs4p4MVVGGBKC3iUKMVeCg1lR3nB6pjqrPCbr8meYkxGMRW44iUaU0OeIaAhzbEALw_wcB the translation :- It is called a smart vacuum mouth piece in Swedish.

not as pricey as these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-DRL-DAY-TIME-RUNNING-LIGHT-LAMPS-2011-2014-FOG-FOR-LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-2/182776477053?fits=Car+Make%3ALand+Rover%7CModel%3AFreelander+2&hash=item2a8e53b57d:g:mnAAAOSwEzxYdNGl
