Freelanders - Where have all the props gone?

BoxCleva · Jul 16, 2010

Hi folks,
Someone offered me a FL last night, so I decided to do a bit of research on eBay for prices , specs etc. At least 40% of the ones I looked at had had the propshaft removed making it 2WD. The majority claimed for better MPG, but is there a more likely reason ?

EDIT

oooooooooooooooooooo ! Wrong ferkin section

Thanks Redhand.

found this post. Quite illuminating.

People do it, because:

1. They have a faulty VCU
2. They have a faulty IRD
3. They want to save their IRD from further damage
4. I`ve heard mondo mode puts extra strain on the front drive shafts (ie premature wear)
5. They want to sell the Hippo with potentially £2000 worth of repairs to be done to an novice buyer.
6. They like the feel of FWD

But basically because the running gear has faults, and would cost more than the car is worth to fix.
