The Freelander 2 range (2007-2014 Models) have a rear differential and Haldex unit, which can cause problems and require attention. Famous Four have invested in tooling and specialist equipment to recondition the differentials, and in the October 2015 edition of LRO magazine their technical editor Peter Galilee penned a 5 page article on how to replace and repair the differential and/or Haldex unit. He visited our workshops earlier in the year and spent a day with one of our technicians, Stephen Howell, to better understand the finer points of this four wheel drive set up.

Whilst we answer some of LRO magazine’s technical Q&As each month, an article of this level of detail demands more time and attention, and Peter and Stephen spent most of the day on this subject.
