prop removal 1.8 petrol

hi guys an gals.just a quick question for you freelander people in the know.i have been told if i remove the complete prop shaft that i will get more miles per gallon.is this true are just hear say.all replys will be more than welcome.i need to put a new vicous coupling on as it is goosed are failed thx patrick

It is true, as is leaving it home and getting the bus. Oh, sorry its a 1.8. You will be doing that anyway . It could easily invalidate your insurance too. Why buy a 4wd and make it 2wd. If you wanted econo
y and 2/4wd ****ching, why dudnt you buy a slitty?

Hi,i did this for about 3 months last summer and to be honest although it was a little quicker off the mark and steering was lighter,i did not notice any difference at all in mpg and got terrible vibration on motorway. When i put it back on it felt so much better to drive, waste of time in my opinion.

thx guys .i will repair it an leave it on thx for replying
