    only 2 wheel drive.

    Ok i will do that, can the IRD be removed and still drive the car are is that not possible. if not if i do remove the front prop will i have to fit a blanking plate over the back of the IRD. is it best to repair the mine own IRD or buy recon or second hand from breaker if i can get one.

    drive train squealing! plus other noises

    I am in Tyrone and there is a breaker not far from me who has 3 freelanders for breaking, but i do not know if they are being broken for IRD or engine problems. i will give him a shout to see what the story is with them. I have a 20 l series freelander, what have you got.

    Freelander 1 Fish tank water ingress video

    Love it, us freelander owners have to stick together. I do have to say the freelander is a great car to drive and i do love mine, but they do test your patients. i am lucky that i am good with the spanners and i can save money on repair bills.

    Sounds expensive, will have a look as soon as and see what is spinning and what is not. stripped splines i have read some where on here about that, even so the hippo is worth fixing has she is going well with a great engine , if i keep in 2 wheel drive or am i doing more damage by driving it.

    I do have a noise from the IRD area or prop bearings, but will have a look at the front prop shaft. if i could get the car on a lift and see if all four wheel drive.
