You may want to read the latest Land Rover Owner mag as they buy a cheap one like this to do up and it has a prop missing and a blanking plate there. It shows you in depth all the problems they found and the causes.![]()
Nah, I like surprises
Ours has the flange the front propshaft bolts to, and the IRD case is incredibly clean for a car with 74k miles on it. I'm not usually an optimist, but the way this car is shaping up it might be the bargain we hoped for, if not it will stop me getting bored for the next few months, at least there is plenty of room under there to work, even before I gt it up on axle stands
I've now got a drive train, the VCU needs to be recon, so that will go off next week, I'll get the new bearings at the same time, Sunday is supposed to be dry, so the IRD will be in for a visit from my spanners to check it out, drop the oil and take a look at the crown wheel etc.
The wife loves it so far, and the way it heats up is brilliant, less than half mile and hot air from the vents, the fbh on the freelander works a lot better than the one on my R75, so some jealousy here for now
