Thanks ...so if the IRD has failed presumably it will need replacing? I was watching a video link that literally says if the IRD has failed you can blank it off... but from what you say I'm guessing the IRD will need replacing? This all started when my clutch went ..replaced the clutch and 4...

My mechanic says it's not possible to blank off the ird on my 2006 freelander td4 freestyle as he says it's needed to drive the front wheels...sorry to admit I'm female and don't have a clue about such things..I thought this would solve my problems ..is it my particular model?
