Hi chaps! My constant battle with the Freelander 2 is really starting to frustrate the hell out of me! A few weeks ago I changed the PTU and driver side drive shaft. Once you know what you’re doing a pretty easy job! At the time I thought well if I’m replacing one drive shaft I might as well...

I was disappointed with the kit I bought, the o-rings that I assume were to replace those on the pump looked thin and cheap! I decided to leave the original rings on as they had no visible damage. Hopefully they’ll be fine and won’t cause a leak! On a side note regards the PTU change I did and...

Any ideas what this seal is for? I’m assuming it part of the Ah Ok! Yes I left mine in place also. Amazing how much crud is inside that Haldex!

Any ideas what this seal is for? It came with the seal kit I bought for my Haldex…

Yeah I’ve seen all those, but none show how to take the clutch plates out to inspect them. On the older generation there was a retaining clip that you could take off and they come apart, on this model I can’t figure it out…. As suggested I’m just going to spray a load of brake cleaner in...

Actually, I’m not sure that would work, it would only cost the outside of the sleeve, not the inside.

That’s not a bad idea!

Sounds like it’s coming back off then! Do you know what type of grease is needed? I’m assuming some kind of Moly grease? And a good dollop of it by the sounds of it?

As I thought! Cheers I’ll just give it a good blast with the brake cleaner as you say and hope any crap washes out…. Another question while I have you, regards the PTU, I’ve just read on another post that grease should be applied to the splines or sleeve on re-assembly? Is this necessary just...

Hi chaps. I’m on phase 2 of my repair/servicing on my 2014 FL2 ! I’ve completed the installation of a replacement PTU and driveshaft, so I’m looking forward to some quieter driving! Now while I have the prop off I decided to remove the Haldex to give it a proper coat of looking at and a...

It’s actually an Auto. I don’t suppose you have a link to somewhere I can buy the oil? Much appreciated!

Hi chaps. So I’ve picked up a refurbished PTU and want to get this bolted in place today, what I’m not 100% sure on is which oil to use? I know it’s 75w90 fully synthetic, everything that is being thrown up is either manual or gl5 but semi synthetic? I don’t want to put some cheap oil in there...

Thanks, turned out the car battery was dead! Charged it up and it now works.

Hi chaps. Looking for a quick answer to this. Today I was in the middle of removing the bottom ball joint from the wheel hub (front driver side). I wanted to turn the wheel back straight as I had had the wheel turned out. I opened the car door (driver side), I got the key out of my pocket so...

Have you heard of Town & Country Landrover in Cubbington, Leamington Spa? Wondering if they might be OK to use? I know they have been there for years…. Bell are booked up to end of October.

Hi! Thanks for the reply! I bought the car end of Feb from a trader in Wales, I live in the midlands..! On the test drive I noticed the noise and mentioned it when I got back, the salesman told me it was the tyres, which seemed plausible because they were worn (not illegal though). I had a good...

Hi chaps! Within 6 months of buying my 2014 Freelander 2 I noticed a constant drone noise (car only has 100k miles), I thought I actually picked up on a quieter version of the noise on purchase, but was told it was road noise from the worn and mismatch tyres! 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, I had new tyres...

Ok thanks for the info!

I think you mean Penfold 🤣🤣🙄

Hi chaps. I’m looking for a hard copy Freelander 2 manual for my 2014 model. Ideally I’d like it to cover issues such as the Haldex and PTU as well as the usual servicing etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I’m assuming a Haynes manual is more DIY based and not workshop...
