Hi, My FL1 TD4 2006 has lost drive to one of the front wheels.
After some bad potholes it started making a bad bearing noise that was hard to define where its coming from. would start bad the moment you start moving, would not change with clutch, brake or gear changes.
Booked in at my local garage, he has lifted all 4 wheels off the ground and set the car running in gear, and says both rear wheels and one front wheel drive fine, but one wheel has no drive to it. But not being very up on the Freelander other than the usual stuff didn't want to dive into diff/gearbox strip down and wondered if i/you have any suggestions.
So,
Is this a "common" ish fault?
Is it more likely to be gearbox/driveshaft/cv joint/hub/diff or something else?
Whats the best place to start at / how best to test to narrow down the culprit without major stripdown?
He is a good mechanic, and can sort, but welcomes any insites into such issues to save time and ultimately my money by doing it the best way.
Thanks, James
