Hi all

I have 98 Xedi freelander with probable teminal IRD so possibly not economically worth repairing
Silly question though
can it not be front wheel drive only ????

common trick to save VCU is to remove the rear prop - locally known as "Mondo mode"

Cars often seen economically not worth repairing but you ought to bear in mind the worth of the vehicle to you, rather than just the value of the car.

A good example is a hatchback I used to have. It was probably only worth £400 but I would happily hundreds if something major went wrong because it was unlikely I would get a car that was worth so much to me for £400.

Personally, I don;t see the point in Mondo mode, because I want my vehicles to be four wheel drive, whether I use them on or off road. When I ran our Camel in Mondo mode for a week whilts I was waiting for parts, I was staggered by the change in handling characteristics - but to fair, it is far from standard if you consider wheight and distrubition, so the change in balance may be less noticeable with a standard Freelander.
