would be worth checking out the crankshaft sensor error ......

exactly , hence the excessive tightness on full lock when the VC is passed it best.

don't know why they thought it would be better to give it a front bias. The thing is the difference in ratio is/was only 0.8% so the slightest scrubbing of the front wheels particularly in a turn is enough to allow prop speeds to alter and progressively bring in the rear as a driven axle.

just noticed this........ there's no difference in rotational speed on road, the back wheels will be turning at the same speed as the front. The point is this situation the back wheels aren't being driven by the rear diff they are driving the diff. No matter what resistance there is in the VC it...

agreed. everyone seems to know and accept that an FL1s rear drive/wheels are slightly undergeared compared to the fronts so I can't see why they don't realise that that means no 'driving' force is being applied under normal conditions.

No it's slipping the other (wrong) direction, sapping power not providing actual drive. Come back Austen, help me out here!

No hippo there isn't "drive", nothing from the engine is driving the rear diff. The bit you and others are missing is that because of the reduction at the IRD the front half of the prop is turning slower than the rear half. The rear wheels are in effect coasting and turning the rear diff and...

True, the fluid resists shear whatever its temperature and therefore is always capable of transmitting some drive even when cold. As I understand it the friction generated by the molecules within the fluid increase temperature and resist shear at an increasing rate until it no longer slips...

Yes i agree, but it doesn't do so (unless it's fooked) during normal on road driving, I was talking about normal driving with no wheel slip in response to those who think there is some magical division/split in drive torque under these conditions

under normal straight line driving with no front wheel slip the rear half of the prop turns faster than the front half. there's no argument about this, it's defined by the difference in front and rear ratio. so the VC slips in two directions, the front only "drives" the rear half when there is...

yep that figures out of thin air........the is NO drive to the rear when driving in a straight line with no front wheel slip.

It depends on your model, i'm not sure exactly which models come with steel wheels, people like to upgrade to alloys but the early alloy wheels don't fit Td4s.

Has it had new pads before during your ownership? Are you sure it hasn't previously had different wheels?

Sounds like wrong alloys to me.......

have you extracted the files from the zipped folder? right click and select extract all.

Looking out for anything that includes 2004MY Td4 related that would be in the system description and/or service procedures from a 5th edition English version. :)

check part number of the one you've fitted first....in case we're barking up the wrong tree.. original LR part number is RFC 000010 for 2002 onward vehicles (with magnets in bearing) ealier ones up to 2002 were ANR 5861. it would be so much easier if the early bearings were discontinued!

The later ones don't have reluctor rings but have magnets inside the bearing seal to activate the sensors. You have most likely fitted the earlier bearing intended for a shaft that has a reluctor ring fitted.
