    IRD Fail???

    Here are some more pictures of the removed IRD and CV While a little blurry the splines inside the gearbox are all okay: Not sure if it is how it is meant to look but the middle set of splines only have spline at the bottom of that part but the CV still splines in and rotates nicely. All...

    IRD Fail???

    Yeah I did not think I could swap the gearboxes :( Either way, the CV seemed fine, I checked both sides to make sure, all splines are good none are sheared I am not sure where the issue lays, when I get home from work I will upload some images and videos of the issues may clear up some...

    IRD Fail???

    So... Wasn't this fun. I spent this weekend, getting dripped on by oil, coolant and dirt, but I guess I do this because I enjoy it, however I took the IRD out, took the diff cover off it and it was fine???? All the gears are good, it actually looks, really really good, oil was super clear, no...

    IRD Fail???

    That actually makes a lot of sense, will ensure I crack it with the car down and then do the rest of it off the floor Gonna get a 2ft Breaker bar and attached my jack stand pole to it for about 4-5 ft of breaker bar, should be plenty to get this nut off.

    IRD Fail???

    Yeah I took a look and it is 400nm but you make a really good point, if the driveshaft is not connected then how the feck am I gonna apply 400nm or more to the nut without it spinning? The engine doesn't even provide 400nm of torque, wish me luck :rolleyes: Will probably try using a combination...

    IRD Fail???

    Ouch. I just went out while we were discussing this to give this IRD a couple tests and it is bad news, or maybe good? I don't know, I think more disassembly is needed to determine full damage. I read this forum >...

    IRD Fail???

    Thank you, now you mention it, there is a small oil leak on what I think is the front diff or the gearbox, honestly I go under this car and have no idea what I am looking at 😅 (It is the first box on the right when under the car, it looks like where the diff connects to the LH wheel driveshaft)...

    IRD Fail???

    Hey all! I have been working on my land rover today. For context I have a Freelander 1 1.8 petrol along with a 2.0 TD4 that has rust out of the wazoo so it is a donor parts car (Unable to pass MOT or reasonably be repaired). However I think I have had a huge issue now... I've had a shaky prop...

    VCU test result + Lift Kit

    Ah yeah, I did measure it all out, needed to cut out a bit at the bottom to make room for the 50mm, didn't have any issues being at full lock though, both track rods reached okay without any massive amount of strain, really all I need at the moment is some replacement anti-sway bar links as the...

    VCU test result + Lift Kit

    Once the shocks had some time to return to normal as they had been out of the car, it sits a little lower, I can still fit my head in between the wheel and wheel arch though, looking to get some bigger wheels once I have some spacers to clear the spring seat, not sure how much space I would...

    If you are anywhere near and are able to get the door trim off I can sure help getting it unlocked for you, I am near Southampton
  15. xDParis64

    Right...

    Thank you! really helpful information, will look at getting this all sorted, will test the prop, replace bearings, I read that the clunk on gear change is the rear centre diff mount so I will look to replacing that too. I will check out that Freelander 1 first owners thing :) Appreciate the...

    Right...

    My work around was I snapped the door off the bottom of the screws after about 6 hours of trying to unscrew them, I then used what was left of the screws to screw it back on (They were ripped and a little bent)
  17. xDParis64

    Right...

    hey, the return spring on the actuator had corroded and no longer pulled the actuator so when closed the door would not open as the ECU still thought it was open (The spring had not returned) I installed a spring to the actuator bar to some random plastic bit in the actuator housing to pull the...

    Right...

    Good Morning, afternoon, whatever. I need help. I bought a cheap Freelander 1 1.8 Petrol K series. I understand NO ONE likes the 1.8 petrol, however there are already a few things I have done. I uprated the head gasket as I read that these ones have a ****ty one standard and blow them every...
