Hmmmmm . Just recap my series of unfortunate events Early Dec, noticed a loud rumble ( of death) under the car at 30-40 mph Took car to Stratstone who were fixing an unrelated issue: HP Pump. They noted the rumble but could not pin down the issue ( " tho claimed they checked...

Hi have had a number of issues in the Transmission of my TD4 HSE Mark 1. I am now on my 3rd Transferbox. I recently attached a replacement prop with new VCU bearings. and replaced rusty UV Joiint. Nobody has suggested replacing the VCU though this has been repeatedly checked. The car runs...

You ought to do a poll to identify how many Freelander Owners who are driving around without the propshaft. I am replacing my 3rd transfer box in 3 months :mad:, which is why I will be joining this crowded group.....

I had a test drive in mine after the mechanic replaced the universal joint. I think my issues were combination of broken VCU coupling bearings and now a rusty universal joint..... There is still a whining noise from the transmission box but I think it something I can live with. The rumbling...

If you not referring to me before my first cup of coffee (!) . Then ironically, it is later in the drive. I found a garage near Stafford which seems to service a few Freelanders and they going to look at it first thing on Monday. Last Tuesday I had a chat with an AA man who had just towed...

When you say you didn't mark the prop and the vcu, what did you mean? The noise may be gone but I really want my prop reconnected. When you mention that your prop is out by 2" then that is reassuring as I was beginning to think this was a red herring.:rolleyes:

Hi Funny you say that, I do have front bearing issue . However, since I have the prop disconnected; so 2 wheel drive, my rumbling noise has completely gone. I spoke to another garage based in near Birmingham and they claim that this noise can be caused by the prop not been aligned straight.

Another update. Took the original IRD to the garage and we raised the car so we could all go underneath. was great for me as I got to see where everything is located or a least the fixing holes for the missing prop shaft and VCU. Anyway, both IRD's are the same size. We also did an...

Hi One other thing I managed to pickup my original IRD on Sat - you can see the damaged teeth inside it which cause my first tow :(. We're going to measure this to see if the current IRD is the correct size or not. I have the 2005 TD4 2.0 HSE so I guess I need to track down the fitment for...

Hi I am not sure what your mean as in my case my propshaft was misaligned by around 2" ... Checked under another Freelander 1 and that is as you describe, straight. Had new GNK VCUs Coupling bearings fitted which held the propshaft in a more ridged fashion. However the noise was still...

Hi I have already posted something about this issue - I though I can't find where I posted. I had this noise before my propshaft was replaced . The propshaft is misalligned when compared to another Freelander 1 The rubber webbing in both of the propshaft mounting brackets is broken...

Hi I have an update on this I have had mechanic at automatic gearbox specialist centre looked at this whilst it was over a pit. They have confirmed that is definitely related to the propshaft. They have also , noticed that the propshaft is out of line, as it appears to be biased towards...

Hi I have had this issue a while now. A low rumble at 30-40 mph . The car shakes a little. It just doesn't seem right and it's denfitely affecting my enjoyment of driving what is normally a fun car to drive. I have also been towed back by the AA twice now over Christmas Did have two new...
