Thanks anyway freelanderirdspecialists. I'll continue to think about my options and maybe take it somewhere for a second opinion. Regards Chirky

I'm in South Wales. Not checked driveshafts, nor tracking (no time since the ird problem was diagnosed yesterday), but steering doesn't pull to one side......... Would a worn drive shaft cause either/both tyre wear and ird problems? All i can say is that the drive train noise is...

Thanks for all the replies so far - all very useful, but i'm concerned that this is going to be a step too far for me to do myself. RichM - it's done 58000 miles. The techie that diagnosed it says there is a lot of play in the output flange to the prop shaft (there is 'slack' in a rotational...

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I'm not intending rebuilding the ird myself - just swapping it with a recon unit. It was the vcu bearings that the guy listened to, not the vcu itself. I have done both the tippex test and the "jack up one rear wheel" test, so i know the vcu isn't seized...

Afternoon chaps Couldn't find a good answer to this by searching the forum............so hope i'm not duplicating anything here. I have been told today that the constant drivetrain noise i have is coming from the "transfer box" (which i take to mean the IRD). VCU is fine, apparently. The...

Hi guys. Well, funny you should enquire about my progress as i was going to post an update in a day or two...... Having concluded that john t was probably right about it being caused by injector fouling, i had a look at a few products (Millers etc) and finally went for a tin of BG244. See...

OK - here's the latest........... New year's day i decided to tackle the EGR, so set about removing and cleaning it. Not too much gunk inside it considering what i was expecting, and it wasn't jammed open (in fact i would say it's jammed shut!). Looked inside the manifold with a torch and...

The replacement MAF was from the same LR dealer that attempted to fix things before (the next nearest dealer was too far, but i would have preferred not to give my local dealer any more of my cash if i could have avoided it). Thanks again for the info and the diagnostics suggestions - i'll...

Hi Guys Thanks for the replies so far. I've seen the crankcase breathers on ebay for about £30 so will order one asap. Once the old one is off i can take my time to clean/soak it, ready for next time. I might wait a week or two to have a look at the egr, as i don't have a garage and it's a bit...

Hi TD John Thank you for taking the trouble to reply on boxing day! Didn't think anyone would be interested over xmas. Is it possible to clean the crankcase filter, or is renewal the only option? And would i be better off just disconnecting the vac line to the EGR valve (as i have read on this...

Hi to all I’m new to this forum and to Land Rover, having recently purchased a 53-reg Freelander TD4 from a friend. I’m entirely happy with it except for one problem, so here goes (sorry for the length of this ! ) At low speed/revs (say between 1200 and 1800 revs) and when trying to...
