Hello

I have an old freelander 1.8 exi, I have jacked one whhel up on the front and can just about turn it.

I have read that this is normal as there is a resistance due to the viscouse coupling.

I Can asume that at least its not seized, but can anyone tell me exactly what item of the drive train was modified to do away with the 0.8 percent diff between front and rear.

I was led to believe its the rear diff?, any information on the subject would be appreciated.
 
Was this the ashcroft method of rotating the prop with a rear wheel in the air?

Try the Taipan method by painting a line on VCU and damper, if VCU is slipping then lines will not match after some driving around.

According to Mad Hat Man and Ianh1 new ratio was in IRD from 2001 onwards, whilst rear diff just got stronger journals.
