Attached photos of the freelander with lift, and tyres etc...

As I don't use my Freelander for off-roading, even though it looks good it would be sensible to ditch the lift kit installed by the previous owner for standard suspension. Car is a td4 2002 Freelander. I have original receipts for the lift kit and camber correction pins, and will include all...

Awesome, cheers Nick. Will get the lads at work to help me with this later this afternoon!

:hysterically_laughi Thank you! I hope it's not quite a sack of ****... but we shall see!

Nope - as per my previous posts I bought it on a dark rainy evening at auction, and hadn't really checked it out. It didn't cost me an excessive amount though, so I'm not moaning about the problems/quality/history, I'm just trying to gain advice on fixing things! :)

That's what I was worried about - although the VCU is still in place - but as there is no propshaft connected, I think unlikely to be that? Any suggestions as to how I check to see if it's likely to be the IRD?

Yep, my guess is that someone needed it for something and just unbolted the shaft. Groovy, thanks. Will go through the FAQs! Cheers, that's good advice. Bell engineering are a bit of a trek from here, so I might try and find someone a bit more local to Southampton. At the moment, there's a...

No holes that I can see. I'm leaning towards the garage needing a propshaft for someone else, so taking it off this... Possibly a silly question, but when I get hold of a shaft and fit it, what should I look for? Will it be pretty obvious if there's a problem? Also discovered the sunroof...

Well, I got the wagon into the garage so I could get some pictures in the dry... I assume these are of the IRD and VCU, implying its only the propshaft that's missing?

I think the only difference is you should come to attention and salute General abuse...

Well, the previous owner just called me (kind fellow). He traded the Freelander in against a new one, so it was in the auction I bought it from I guess because the garage didn't want it hanging around. Good news (I think). He traded it in a month ago, and it had a full drivetrain (as well as a...

Defender 110it;2047656]Perhaps the previous owner wanted to "Macho" up his Gaywagon, he may have got fed up with the local bum boys winking at him, and waiving their spoons :eek::D Hmm, with that in mind, perhaps i should change it back... or paint it pink! :D

Chaps, thanks for all your replies, most helpful. Sorry, I'm good with boats but not so much cars, VCU and IRD stand for what? I'm going to get brooklands 4x4 (local) to sort the camber hopefully, then will put 4 new boots on it. The spare also shows evidence of camber wear, so 4 new...

So keen to point out what I'm letting myself in for you posted it twice :p

Is the no front prop the cause of the fuct drive train, or is the fuct drive train mitigated by the removal of the prop? I'm not hugely fond of the 2" lift. There's a freelander in the car park, I wonder if he'd notice if I swapped all the gear over... Thanks, I like I challenge! I hereby...
