sorry about speed of reply, work called unfortunately, according to Mr Haynes the preload must be set by a Landrover main stealer and so dosent give a value, but you can reuse the spacer, no mention of backlash at all, so not much help there then
hope some of this is helpful
Hi Westender
Well I got it apart the front end bearing and oil seal US rear bearing OK but will replace the lot from BSL at a cost of £30.00 the only thing they do not make the purpose made oil seal any more and have to put up with a double lipped seal but the same size. As for the end float and back lash i can only think that using the new spacer in line with the new bearings and setting the torque this provides the correct end float other wise I can see any other way unless you can see some thing I have missed

HI Westender
Your brilliant I have only a land rover service disc and that info is not on it or I cant find it
Many thanks I try tomorrow

Hi Westender
I just resived some of the parts i order from Land Rover to repair my IRD unit it consists of a flange ,o ring ,studs,main shaft nut,colapsal spacer,NO bearings or oil seals this cost £143.00,Land rover do not supply bearing and oil seals for this unit any more so i will have to go to BSL for these.
What does your Haynes manual say about checking the turning touque of the existing bearings and the turning torque of new bearings sepecaly if you torque up the bearings to 111 lbf.ft also what does it say on any back lash in the bevel gear on the end all should the orginal spacer be OK.
i look forward to be hearing from you

straight out of Mr Haynes book
drain plug =35 nm or 26lbf ft
filler =same
IRD support brackets 45 nm or33 lbf ft
IRD to transmission bolts 80 nm or59 lbf ft
main end case cover bolts 30 nm or 22 lbf ft
pinion housing nuts 25 nm or 18 lbf ft
pinion nut 150 nm or 111 lbf ft
propshaft to IRD flange bolts 40 nm or 30lbf ft
support bracket to IRD unit 50 nm or 37 lbf ft
i suspect the only critical setting here is the pinion nut

Before you do that I would check the rear diff bushes because they wear and you get a metallic knock on the diesels as you come on and off the throttle so you may well get the same knock putting an auto in drive.
hi guys
I had this IRD unit checked out at a main dealers they tod me its on its way out .Surly some one has done some work on this ,it looks like the rear out put shaft has worn bearings and need replacing and that looks easy the only thing that bugs me is the torque settings before and after replacing the bearings. Can any one help

Hi Guys
Now the inportant part i have a knock when taking up drive and there is some wear on the pinion shaft which seams to much and could be the fault i an looking for ,mine is a V6 Automatic
Has any one Had to remove thr pinion housing and replaced the bearings with in it .
What problen did you have
What parts need replacing
What sort of price did you pay for spares
How easy was it to replace the bearings
On reading the manual it surgests to recored the torque settings, how do you do this and hold onto it it segests a special tool which i have not got what else can be used?
What is a collapsible spacer or is it a spacer that when fitted and collaps on final torque setting giving the pre-load on the tapered bearing
What a big problem but i am sure some one has replace it

We had a V6 for 9 months 3 of which were with the dealer because it needed a new engine because of head gasket failure. only had 26k on the clock when it failed. We replaced it with a TD4 Auto HSE which was fabulour and that was repalced last year with a FL2 HSE which is also Fabulour.
V6 we got 17MPG only slightly better than my Classic Range Rover.
Hi
I have had a 2002 V6 for about 14 months it depends how you drive it .You get low MPG if you race it around in sports mode .But if you drive sensible you could be very surprised .i got 1 with some toys which make it enjoyable .Yes it has been in the gauge for engine management faults .but also I have been able to rectify faults in using this disscusion hub.I used to drive a Disco diesel and it use a high level of fuel so I am happy with my V6 freelander

I tried jacking it up and using a large crow bar tried to get some movement in both ball joints but nothing noticeable ..not tried the speed humps yet but if I can find some tomorrow I give it a try

Hi jules
Genral Grabber AT2 is a block tread tyre and as i said block treads cause noise at high speed Yes you can buy these tyes at £63 but these are no good for what i want .Thankyou for your help

AT2 =All Terran
I've just asked my wife and she has done nearly 18k on them and they still to me look like new.
there only £60-70 each so there much cheaper than the michelin but I wouldn't be put off by that

Swap front to back and left to right
We replaced ours about 10k ago (six months) and use General Grabber AT2 which my wife is very please with.
I'm very happy with them.
Note:- My wife won the trophy class british off road championships in 05 so she can handle a freelander quite happily
Hi jules#
I all ready have swaped around the tyres this is how i found out about the block treads .i have 2 differant thread pattens the 2 on the back are block threads and the 2 on the front are more like road tyres although they are all michellin the front tyres are a Direct replacment for an M/S tyre
These grenral grabber are they a road tyre and what sort of millage do you expect from a set of 4

I owen a v6 freelander with a small problem I have a water coolant leaking from the heater matrix.This freelander has 2 air bags fitted ,1 mounted in the steering wheel and the other in the front facer of the dash .Under the font facer air bag is the Air con evaporator, connected by a flexible hose to the heater box which in turn houses the heater matrix .It looks like if I remove the air bag and loosen the evaporator from its mounting and undo the matrix retaining bracket and housing , also the hoses I mite be able to side out the heater matrix with out removing the bash board .I would like to no if any one else has had this problem and has removed the matrix this way or its not possible
I look forward to hear from any one
Thanks
