Indeed.The guy who fitted my clutch and flywheel only cable tied on the gaiters instead of metal clips so the grease had leaked out and dried out the joints.

Hi all I'm looking to fit some foglights into my Freelander 1 ES pre facelift as mine don't have any. There is a recess in the plastic part of my bumper where i assume landrover would fit spotlights if required.Anywho does anyone know what size lights would go in there or have any for sale?Not...

Right.Got the freelander back afetr a gearbox/transfer box oil change, driveshafts removed and bearings regreased and all put back together.The result . . . . . 40 miles so far and no vibration :) NOw i just need to sort my injectors and squeaky front left suspension and ill be ok :) Thanks to...

Me too.Its been a long investigation.Im collecting it tonight so will update

Right well agarage number 2 yesterday.They drained the transfer box oil to check for metal and removed the driveshafts.The bearings at the end of the driveshaft going into the transfer box had no grease left in them so they were regreased and the gaiter fitted correctly.Fingers crossed now

im having this noise too.VCU wasnt the problem cos i removed the prop and it was still there.My lower rear engine mount was shot so i replaced that and still happening.I'm looking at changing my cv joint son drivers side now

Would ibe aswell off changing the drive shaft? How hard is it to do

Thanks for all the suggestions.i ran it fwd only and the vibration was still there.engine mount replaced and prop cal in and its still there a bit.think ill replace those joints now.

Question.if th cv joints were worn,would the vibration caused by them get worse as you go along or are they bad from the start? It started vibrating again on the way home after fitting the mount

Cheers for that.Well the landrover mount went in.The vibration isn't as bad as it was but is still there a bit and i can hear it now too.I'm assured that it isn't gearbox/ird/engine related but that i do have a bit of play in my drivers cv joints.any other ideas or should i just get the joints...

damn.just paid out 80 euro for one from landrover

little update.had the undertray off and found the rear lower engine mount had huge play.could move engine freely side to side and up and down easily by hand.new one going in today so fingers crossed

goin to themechanic today.gonna have to limp the 10 miles to him and pray to god

guys does anyone htink it could be the ird?im panicing that it could be that.i jacked it up yesterday and teh front wheels move freely

So guys can i drive it or not?im gonna get it sorted in a de days but need it for work til then.50mile round trip each day

So that would be a stop driving it then

Ill get the mechanic to check it out.is it bad to still drive it?

From my limited experience with it.ill ask my mechanic when i see him.is it bad to drive with it!?

Well tie barseems ok.joints on drive shaft seem ok.little side and in play but only a mm.why would itget worse withthe prop removed?

Full prop is off front to back.only very slight movement in drive shafts.where are the joints and tie bars your talking about!?thanks
