bought a freelander 2 years ago and loved every minute of ownership but since the pinion on the ird broke due to the oil level plug went missing now every minute seems like a bad dream, the ird now has a hole in the housing and i have found some fragments of gear teeth in the oil , will pull apart 2morrow and let you know the outcome, pitty the people who designed them did'nt think of a transfrer box to go between 4x4 and 2x4
