Does it happen on both left and right lock?

Tyre catching against wheel-arch?

CV Joints ?

When mine went they could be heard, and felt, mostly when reversing.
Though I have a Disco, not a Freelander ..

Seized IRD? I've heard it's not uncommon.

People Hi,

from what I also heard the IRD seizes when the VC has already been seized.

In order to check for a seized VC unit you put first gear in, undo the
handbrake, lift one rear wheel up and try to rotate it.
If it rotates with some resistance but without feeling like a locked up
transmission then the VC unit is OK. If the wheel does not rotate at all or
has the "locked transmission when turning" feel then the VC unit is damaged.

A permanently locked VC unit loads the transmission components with too much
stress and this results into either the IRD or the rear diff giving up the
ghost.

Take care
Pantelis

A far more easy way to check if the VC is seized,is to
draw a line over the complete unit with chalk.
Make a short ride and check if the parts have rotated between each other.
I've never heard of a seized VC unit so far.It's often suspected,but most of
the time a faulty IRD unit is the problem
Later IRD units give no problems.
