On the Freelander 1 it fails because the viscous coupling in the propshaft line seizes and fights it, and the commonest cause of that is one tyre different from the other three. On the Freelander 2, Evoque and Discovery Sport the unit runs hot, the oil breaks down, and the bearings and seals go. Every unit here comes with the advice that stops it happening again, which is four matching tyres at matching pressures and an oil change the factory schedule does not ask for. The Freelander 2 is the most common vehicle through our IRD workshop by some distance, because its power transfer unit and rear coupling are both known weak points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification and fitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Freelander 2, chassis code L359\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: 2.2 TD4 eD4 and SD4 diesel, 3.2 i6 petrol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction dates: 2006 to 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality: Remanufactured or New Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: cross referenced to the factory part number for your VIN and confirmed before dispatch, because supersessions on these vehicles are frequent and one printed number would be wrong for somebody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failure this addresses: rear coupling pump failure that leaves the vehicle quietly front wheel drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour time: about 5 hours, included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoding: a calibration or adaptation routine is required afterwards with a dealer level diagnostic system; a generic code reader cannot do it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso needed: coupling oil and filter every 36,000 miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque: RDU mounts 115 Nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: about 36 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat arrives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear drive unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupling pump and filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil fill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabour guide: about 5 hours, included. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemanufactured is stripped to the casting, measured, rebuilt with new bearings seals and wear parts and rig tested, with a surcharge refunded on your old unit. New Unit is a brand new unit rather than an exchange, for when your old one is past rebuilding or you cannot be without the vehicle while we assess the core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solihull Spares","offers":[{"title":"Remanufactured","offer_id":54809433768269,"sku":"SLS-IRD-004-R","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"New Unit","offer_id":54809433801037,"sku":"SLS-IRD-004-NU","price":2124.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6247\/2269\/files\/Freelander_2_Rear_Drive_Unit_and_Coupling_Package_d7ce576a-700f-4b60-907d-c786f31c92f9.jpg?v=1790170960","url":"https:\/\/solihullspares.com\/products\/freelander-2-rear-drive-unit-and-coupling-package","provider":"Solihull Spares","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
