I had a similar problem and in my case it turned out to be VCU bearings, I removed the propshaft and the vibration was gone, brought a recon VCU and new bearings, refitted prop and now good as new

Hopefully grumpygel will be along at some point, he has an L series diesel and can give you the low down on that model. :-)

Perhaps an introduction and a bit more info about your vehicle might be in order so that help can be offered.

Tony?:D

what started out with some promise has started to go tits up and a bit dictatorial

There was a thread started by one of the admins about new rules relating to posts being removed if there was swearing or 'inappropriate' images being posted, and if necessary offending members may be banned. Another admin posted saying he knew nothing about these new rules and seemed surprised...

From what I read some of the other admins hadn't been consulted, yeah you're right some of the non fluffy stuff was posted by admins-can't beat a bit of hipocracy!

'Offensive' posts to be censored now, no swearing or posting photos of pretty girls on Land Rovers.....fluffy bunnies are ok though lol

Didn't someone post on here the other day saying that Bell didn't have any more recon IRDs but could probably refurb your own one?

10 4!

What?

Lol, I can't believe just how touchy some people are, pathetic really.

Don't forget there's no drain plug on the rear diff-it's either got to be siphoned out or remove the plate on the rear, you'll need some instant gasket to re seal on refitting.

Probably best to trailer it home if you can but it does sound fuel pump related, do a search on here for the Freelander fuel pump-there are low and high pressure pumps for Freelander but they're a bit beyond my current technical knowledge (near non existent! Lol)

Thanks guys :-)

Hi guys, recently I had my mechanic clean up the rear brake shoes and drums and fit new hand brake cables, what I'm finding now is that quite often after the car has been parked for a few hours when I release the hand brake to pull away the rear brakes are binding and I have to use reverse then...

Presumably it would be a good opportunity to drain out the old and refill with fresh fluid in the IRD.

Probably a long shot but does the L series have one of those fuel cut-off buttons under the bonnet that may need to be pressed?, just a thought incase it had tripped out.

Looks really nice! Top job

Best bet is to remove the rear prop, simple enough job, if you can still drive the car then you still have front wheel drive!
