Drivetrain failures

I'm just doing a little research.
Hope you can help!
All the best

Yes they do!

mine has and i've voted, but there is already a freelander faults poll

No but changed just in case.

Got mine at 117k, the VCU was a bit tight but so far the IRD seems ok. I've put five new tyres on it and I'll be putting a new VCU on it as soon as payday comes around. I guess I got lucky .

Not that I haven't had a host of other problems.

The general consensus is that they do, you're correct. I was just wondering how many people have suffered at the hands of the VCU.

Ha, I'm contemplating putting mine back on, which seems to wind up on reverse lock, just to see us more safely through this stint of bad weather, which I hasten to add is set to get a lot worse I heard.
Everything (other than going mondo) in/on the car is currently working as it should (touch wood), and I'm trying to fathom a percentage of risk, of damaging the drivetrain by refitting, versus the safety factor of driving mondo, in the snow with my children present.

It's a geet big white jungle out there, and its full of pancake chuckers.

So far, its in favour of refitting, until I can afford the new part next month.

risk = high

yu got all matching tyres? if not risk = almost certain.

Yep, all new and matching, GY wranglers, 1000 miles ago.


Not sure what to do yet, it all depends on the weather just now.

my vcu made my auto box go bump, got the box fixed put a new vcu on on from freelander spares which went bump and they replaced it but i parted with my old freelander for another, one 2006 td4 auto hse so looking forward to the snow this friday

New vcu at 63000, 11 years. IRD not healthy
