You can buy new/refurbed VCUs for about £300-£400. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freelander-Brand-New-GKN-Viscous-Coupling-Unit-VCU-/131050587979 You'll need a pair of support bearings as well, expect £40 each. GKN seem to last better: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rove...Bearing-Mount-GKN-x2-TOQ000040G-/370781431274 The front and rear prop you can buy on Ebay - make sure the universal joints are ok and the gaiter on the front one isn't split. - Front: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANDROVER-FREELANDER-FRONT-PROPSHAFT-/271311880473 - Rear: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-REAR-PROPSHAFT-LOW-MILAGE-/221321356297 Of course you'll also need the bolt set. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVE...IT-BOLTS-NUTS-WASHERS-VCU-BOLTS-/220945074597 It's a fairly easy job though!
