hi. i have a 51 reg td4. i took it for 2 new tyres today. after they were fitted, i drove down the road. when i got to about 30 mph there was a real loud grinding from the front of the car and very bad knocking and vibration. The garage are saying that its just coincidence, and the front dif and propshaft are knackered. is there anything that they may have done to cause this.
Help.

Swap the two new tyre/wheels on to the other axle & see if the problem is now on the other axle, then you know at least one tyre is dodgy. If it was the front tyres they replaced, also check to see if they've somehow damaged your front brakes by being heavy handed.

Where did they stick the jack when lifting up the car? Did they lift up the front?

there is no lockable diff on a freelander, it uses a vcu in the centre of the vehicle to deal with the 4wd issue.
they would be hard pressed to jack it up on the gearbox or diff without 1st taking the under tray off from the engine compartment, assuming you still have it fitted.

Were having any issues prior to the tyres being fitted?
clicking noises when on full lock for example.

erm - dint think we had "issues" - problems, yes - faults, yes - but issues - only Grunt has issues and invariably with a "T"

...nice.
FFS hire a van under a dodgey sudoname and drive it through their window,tw@ts.
They will have to pay for that so prehaps the van thing after you fixed.
Also when its fixed sell it straight away.it will happen again soon once busted.
