Have a go at this and tell us the results:

With the engine oft, chock the rear wheels and put the handbrake on, disconnect the front prop from the IRD and:

With the auto in park (in gear for manuals) lift 1 front wheel and it won't turn. The IRD pinion won't turn when you turn the lifted front wheel. If you put the auto into neutral (neutral on manuals too) the lifted front wheel will now turn and so will the pinion if you turn the lifted front wheel.

If you put the lifted front wheel on the ground and lift the other front wheel the same will happen as above.

If you lift both front wheels and turn 1 the other will turn regardless of the auto being in neutral or park (neutral or in gear for manuals) in the opposite direction. The only difference is the pinion gear will turn if the gearbox is in neutral (doesn't matter if auto or manual). If you sharply turn or quickly slow down the wheel yer turning the pinion will turn more than the wheel yer turning. I assume it's due to the path of least resistance as the power escapes.

If lifting both front and rear wheels on the same side of the Freelander, with the prop/vcu connected, and the engine oft and the auto in park (in gear for manuals) the front wheel won't turn when you turn the rear wheel (assuming the vcu and rear diff work correctly as they should). The rear lifted wheel will only turn slightly which is down to the internal opposition of the vcu. If you do the same test with the auto in neutral (neutral for manuals too) the front wheel will turn in the same direction as the rear wheel.

Note: when I say won't turn, it will turn but only approx 1 inch circumference or a few degrees, as opposed to turning round fully. This is the movement between the gear teeth only.

No....there is a thread called.......crock of ****......it gives advise on what to do if you have unwittingly bought a lemon
 
initially it sounds like yu have a pup :?(.
banging could be rear diff mounts, but the chances are the VCU is stiffened/seized sufficiently to have severely damaged the IRD. If yu have had the vehicle less than 6 months get you money back under the sale of goods act. it is likely to cost you circa 2 grand to fix.
If you have removed the prop, notify your insurance company else yu may not be covered.

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION.

Either grow a thick skin or feck off......l.l.if I was going to be offensive I'd of a called you a tosser......and that's sweet fa if the tratter boys had gotn bored with theyre pigs and joined in( sorry guys I'd love a fender but she won't left me have one)
 
We should give him a chance. He's in a mess and we can help. He's a fellow Freelander owner after all.

Some of the tratterers are quite sensitive....



They just hide it well :p
 
I'm happy to give anyone a chance.."they just need to understand a thick skin is needed on here and welding skills if you ain't got a hippo....
After that you will get good advice on most prbs
