Aftermarket but from a reputable supplier (not EBay). It was clicking from day one so I suspect little or no grease inside the boot? Can’t be certain… I spoke to the supplier and at first they tried to dismiss it, then I sent them a video showing it slipping when shifting from reverse to drive...

Yes. Refurb PTU has been in for a few months and seems fine. When I swapped out the old PTU I decided to replace both front drive shafts for new parts, sadly I have an issue with the driver side CV joint nearest the wheel hub! It makes a click noise while driving. At first it was only...

Ok, finally got chance to have a proper look at this tap/click/clunk noise yesterday. So with the wife sat in the driver seat and me under the car! She went from park, to reverse to drive to reverse to drive etc etc…. I couldn’t see or hear anything over the sound of the engine! The wife said...

I’ll take a look and report back!

Hi Guys! As some will know I’ve recently replaced the PTU and front drive shafts on the Freelander, as well as servicing the Haldex and replacing all the oils etc…. The car is now driving much smoother and quieter than before! One thing I have noticed today is when driving between 20mph and...

Exactly!

It is a 2014 model 64 plate. I know they were experimenting with these models and the Evoque. So I’m guessing the gap in the spline are per the design? They didn’t look sheared. I have a mate at JLR and he is currently trying to find out.

It turns out the retaining clip on the new shaft wasn’t the right one! It is suppose to have the lugs, the old shaft clip lug position was 3oclock and 9oclock. The new clip lugs were more like 4oclock and 8 o’clock. So they didn’t line up with the slot in the spline. For now I have swapped the...

Some photo to help.

Hi chaps! My constant battle with the Freelander 2 is really starting to frustrate the hell out of me! A few weeks ago I changed the PTU and driver side drive shaft. Once you know what you’re doing a pretty easy job! At the time I thought well if I’m replacing one drive shaft I might as well...

I was disappointed with the kit I bought, the o-rings that I assume were to replace those on the pump looked thin and cheap! I decided to leave the original rings on as they had no visible damage. Hopefully they’ll be fine and won’t cause a leak! On a side note regards the PTU change I did and...

Any ideas what this seal is for? I’m assuming it part of the Ah Ok! Yes I left mine in place also. Amazing how much crud is inside that Haldex!

Any ideas what this seal is for? It came with the seal kit I bought for my Haldex…

Yeah I’ve seen all those, but none show how to take the clutch plates out to inspect them. On the older generation there was a retaining clip that you could take off and they come apart, on this model I can’t figure it out…. As suggested I’m just going to spray a load of brake cleaner in...

Actually, I’m not sure that would work, it would only cost the outside of the sleeve, not the inside.
