Is Your Freelander 2 whining from the rear?
Do You Want Your Beloved Freelander to run smooth and quiet again?
We Can Help!
If your Freelander 2 Rear Differential is damaged we can recondition it for you.
We can recondition all Freelander 2 rear differentials from 2006 onwards.
How can I tell if my rear differential needs reconditioning?
Generally you will hear a whining noise from the rear of your Freelander, particularly under acceleration.
What is involved in reconditioning my Rear Differential?
Our reconditioning service involves your rear differential being fully dismantled, inspected and fitted with all new bearings and seals, using the uprated bearings.
Once we receive your rear differential we will generally recondition it within two days. Within mainland UK we use a next day courier; however, if you are outside this area the shipping times will vary.
Can you ship Worldwide?
Yes, we will ship anywhere in the world (providing we can find a courier who will do it!). UK two-way shipping is £35.
If you are outside the UK, please contact
+44-780-9575-421
or email
theteam@freelanderspecialist.com
for a shipping quotation.
Please note, if you are outside the UK then customs charges will apply.
IMPORTANT
To ensure no damage is done during transit we request that you remove both the haldex (no. 3 on the above diagram) and the active on demand coupling (no. 1 on the above diagram), and send us ONLY the rear differential (no. 2 on the above diagram.) Please drain the rear differential of oil and package it securely as the courier will not cover damage done in transit due to inadequate packaging.
Do you recondition my existing Rear Differential?
If you want us to then we can. However, if you want a faster fitting or shipping service we will send you one we have already reconditioned – for shipping we will require a £300 + VAT surcharge to be paid if we are to ship the reconditioned unit to you before receiving your damaged unit.
The shipping costs we quote will generally include the cost of shipping your rear differential to us and the cost of shipping it back to you once it has been reconditioned – so there is no additional costs involved. We will organise the courier.
How do I get my Rear Differential fitted?

£495 (incl. VAT).
Do you have the Rear Differentials in stock?
Yes, generally we have the reconditioned differentials in stock and if we don’t we can usually get one ready for you within a day or two.

Hi Sue,
I considering buying a 2007 Freelander 2 with 129000 miles. When I did an MOT history check it said that there was a slight oil leak from the rear axle. Is this likely to be the differential and if so would it need reconditioning?
Thank you
Shaun
Hi Shaun,
Congratulations on considering a Freelander, they are such great vehicles.
Yes, this will be from the rear differential, probably the side seals. It would not generally mean the differential needs reconditioning, it would just need the leaking seal(s) replacing. Just to be on the safe side make sure there is no whining sound from the rear when you test drive it and make sure the tyres are all matched – sam make, model, tread depth remaining and air pressure.
Good luck with your purchase.
All the best,
Sue

Hi Sue,
Thank you for the information.
If it is the seal(s) is that something you could do and if so what would the approximate cost be?
I will be towing with it on a regular basis so it would be great if you could give it a health check if I proceed with the purchase. I live in Cambridgshire, so it’s not so far to come.
Thank you for all your help,
Shaun
Hi Shaun,
Certainly it is something we can sort out for you. If it is both the side seals you are looking at £103.63 including VAT. We would be delighted to give it a good health check whilst it is here, that is all part of the service.
All the best,
Sue

Hi,
I have a late 2007 freelander 2 td4 190000km. When driving at around 100km/hr (60mph) it producers a hum or resonating sound. From the rear. Especially when applying power or towing a caravan. Is that the rear diff?
Another question. When replacing the rear diff. The land rover manial states you need to replace a few bolts in the wheelhub area and I think also the drive shaft to the haldex flange.
Can you provide these bolts and at what price.
Will you include oil for the Haldex and the diff?
How much time would the shipping take when I ship it to you from the Netherlands
Thx
Jaap
Hi. I have a Freelander 2 2013 plate Sd4 auto. The warning light has come on like so many have said, auto transmission fault traction reduced. I don’t have any noises or grinding so no differential issues. Probably the Haldex unit. Would you advise changing the unit and if so how much is a new one to buy from you and does the unit need coding to the car after? Thanks. Andy
Hi Andy,
Sorry to hear of the problems with your Freelander. Are you getting any symptoms as well as the warning light? The best thing is to put it on diagnostics, if it comes up with a Haldex pump issue then it is advisable to change the whole unit as, in our experience, if you just change the pump the symptoms are likely to return in a few months. A reconditioned Haldex is £650 + VAT (£780) and UK shipping is £35 which includes shipping the reconditioned unit to you and your damaged unit back to us. We can also fit the unit for you if required, which takes about three hours.
All the best,
Sue

Thank you Sue.
Hi, what would be the total cost for rebuilding the rear diff, changing the haldex oil and and everything else that incurs during the rebuild please?
thank you
Michael
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your enquiry.
For us to remove, recondition and replace your rear differential, including changing the oil in the differential and the Haldex, is £750 including VAT and can be completed within a day. If we service the Haldex at the same time, that is clean out the pump and replace the filter, it is an additional £114.34 including VAT.
All the best,
Sue

Thank you so much Sue, I will be in touch 🙂
Hi there, the price for you to remove , recondition and replace is £750 , could you replace the filter and oil in the helex to and how much extra would that cost .
Thanks
Hi Giles,
To service the Haldex at the same time as reconditioning the rear differential, replacing the filter and cleaning the Haldex unit and pump (the Haldex oil is changed as part of the rear differential reconditioning) is an extra £114.34 including VAT.
All the best,
Sue

Hi,
Got an 07 Freelander 2 and today it has started with a knocking noise from the rear left when cornering at slow speed, forward or reverse. Any ideas at what may be causing that?
Thanks very much
Hi Shaun,
Check the CV joints on the driveshaft. If this is not an issue check the suspension, particularly the top mount strut and bump stop.
All the best,
Sue

Thanks very much for that. It only seems to knock when cornering sharply (full lock or there about).
I have a LR guy here in Perth who will take a look on Monday for me but until then do you think I will do more damage using the vehicle?
Thanks Again
Shaun

Shaun
Hi Shaun,
If it is knocking when cornering then yes you could do more damage, possibly to the rear differential splines where it connects to the Haldex. If you need to drive it then you could remove the prop shaft so drive is not transferred to the rear.
All the best,
Sue
Thanks
Hello Sue
My Freelander 2 (2008) makes noise on the rear differential.
So it’s necessary to have a rear differential reconditioning. I’m living in Switzerland very near to the german Border. I have also a adress in Germany. Could you organise a transport from Germany to you? What’s the price for the two transport (to you and return)?
Thanks for you answer and sorry for the bad English.
Greetings
Patric Gradwohl
Hello Patric,
Thank you for your enquiry, your English is very good.
For the two way shipping to Germany the price is £95, making the total for the reconditioning and the shipping £590.
All the best,
Sue

Transmission warning on drivers panel. loss of special terrain response. advised new dif required freelander 2 83k on vehicle. old style diff advised unable to change oil pump on this dif. please advise new dif and hal.unit and full replacement cost.
Hi Michael,
These symptoms would generally be an indication of an issue with either the oil pump or the haldex. In our experience it is possible to change the oil pump even on the early Freelander 2’s.
The oil pump is £355.05 including VAT. Fitting is £136.98.
To recondition the rear differential is £495 including VAT, we would need your chassis number or reg to get the price of a new rear differential, they are around £1,400 including VAT as an exchange unit. Fitting charge for a rear differential is £255.
Once again we would need your chassis number or reg to give you a price on a new Haldex but they are around £3,000 including VAT. Fitting for the HAldex is £161.46.
All the best,
Sue

Boa tarde ! Minha freelander 2 2009 está com problemas no haldex, em manobras ele pula as rodas travam, fiz a limpeza e troquei a bomba e ainda continua com problema, pode me ajudar ?
Hello Sérgio,
This sounds like an issue with the pinion itself on the rear differential, get this checked.
All the best,
Sue
Olá Sérgio,
Isso soa como um problema com a própria pinhão no diferencial traseiro, se este verificada.
Tudo de bom,
Sue
We have a Freelander 2 that whines from the rear. It has done 60,000 miles and the dealer thought it may be tyres!
Without changing tyres, how do I know if it is that or a new diif?
Thanks
Malcolm
Hi Malcolm,
That is quite a difficult one if you are not used to hearing it. The rear differential noise is a bearing noise, it does tend to get quieter as the speed gets higher. If you are anywhere near us (IP26 4RH) you can drop round and we will check it for you and let you know which it is.
All the best,
Sue
