fezzy192:
many thanks to all you guys for advice i,ll have the pleasure of telling him that its going to cost at lot of money at least its not me for once lol

richoutthere:
I'd have money on a rear diff mounting. There are three and they are prone to waering out. The prop shaft bangs against the floor if this is the case. It's easy to tell "your'll be able to move the diff up and down" they arn't expensive and can be swapped on the drive with a 13 and 15mm socket and a selection of extensions. I did mine for the second time last night in about an hour. I got nime off ebay for about £15 but LR dealers are more. If it was a gearbox or IRD you wouldn't be able to drive it at all!!!

I concurr ... well worth checking the rear diff mount before jumping to conclusions.



Cheers

I would say Ird unit i had the same problem started at rear diff all fine then changed viscous made it a bit better the found IRD was nacked you cand get a rebuild kit or a new one will be £750 + just for part but take front prop of between IRD and viscous and will still be drivable

On a not unrelated note, my Freelander seems to have a acquired a bit of a jerk (shut up at the back!  :roll:) when you lift off the throttle at ~70mph and then put your foot back on to maintain speed.

I was wondering if this could be a bearing that's allowing excessive play in the transmission? Any thoughts?

But thankfully it's under a LR warranty at the moment.
