Steve,
I'd appreciate a pointer please. Faced with a huge bill to replace my propshaft on a 2001, 1.8 GS petrol Freelander, I took the advice of the garage and had it removed. I'm working away from home and just need a general run around for another 18 months or so which is why I opted for the conversion. Other than that, I've had no problems with it - 60,900 miles, all electrics working as they should, no leaks, no other issues.
However, the 2WD conversion now means my insurance company won't cover the modification. I'm now hunting around to find someone who will. I noticed from an old post of yours that your insurance simply noted the propshaft wasn't present and you were road legal again. Which insurance company were you with? Grateful for a 'heads up' please.
Thanks.
Matt
