....fuel saving fact or is it just a way of hiding the fact that
the transfer box is shagged???

Also how do you tell if the transfer box is shagged if the propshaft has been removed?

Thanks:)

it does save some fuel, but generally, if you're looking at a used freelander with no rear prop, odds on the vcu is knackered. (doesn't have a transfer box). if vcu is knackered and ignored, it will then take out ird, which is similar to transfer box.

as for telling is the vcu is shagged, like I say odds on if props missing, vcu shagged.

if the seller says there is nothing wrong, but was done for fuel economy, ask him/her to replace prop before you buy it, then go through usual tests
 
I think the the saying is.... fools rush in where angel fear etc etc etc, IVE brought it, but i have to say that it was a fantastic bargain, so there is money in the pot!!

So! i am expecting to spend money on it, done the head gasket and its running as sweet as a nut now, and ive got to go and collect a full propshaft/vcu today, just gotta hope that its not the only thing missing/stuffed bit of the drivetrain.....but with my sort of luck????? lol

So i'm hoping for a bit of luck over the next few days, collect prop, tools out, attach prop, start engine, 1st gear, ???????? will it go or not?????? lol :confused:
