My VCU help please

That post was all i needed, thanks for the clear advice.

It's all on here
You just have to :search:

Any more q's ask but be clear with what you post and you'll get the answers you need.

That is why, with any drive train problem - ALWAYS test the VCU first .

now go to the FAQ section and search for "freelander" and start learning about yo motor

This ere front wheel drive fail problem. Can it be tested by jacking up 1 rear and 1 front wheel, then turn the rear wheel. If both props turn and the front wheel don't, then the ird is feked. Then put 4 wheels on ground and jack up other side and do the same.

Quick un easy to do wiv snow on the ground.

sounds a good and easy idea - worth testing.....

Sounds good to me too!

Is this in the Faq section?

no point until it has been checked and tested by a few peeps.

Fair point MHM

I'll jack mine up tomorrow and check!

I'll try again since nobody seemed to grasp my previous post. If we're still talking about the PG1 box the fault is not the VC or the IRD but the spline in the final dive carrier in the gearbox. If you remove the IRD unit and look into the gearbox you will see the smaller of the 2 splines in the final drive hub has stripped.

I was listening Chaser, me not being an expert, I'm glad you posted as i'd never heard of this before.
You think LR would've made the smaller spline go to the rear by default.

yu may well be correct - but i still maintain "always check the VCU first"




















even if the radio dont work .

FFS it's the cd changer not the radio
