Would anyone be interested in Freelander diff and modified drive shaft kits
My father and I recondition freelander transfer lines (IRD's, VCU's and Rear Diffs)
The diffs are far lighter than the sierra ones, and the ratio is a lot better (especially for BECS).
If i was able to supply the diffs and modified driveshafts (correct width and for sierra rear hubs), would there be much of a market??

I have a 3.62 sierra in mine at the moment and it tops out at 110, which is not ideal on the track, especially at places like Doni, Snets etc. I want
and extra 15mph top end, which the freelander diff should give me.
The Freelander diff isn't LSD.
I've attached a speed calculator which i find very helpful.

Is it possible to incorporate a LSD into a Freelander housing?
Before you judge a guy, walk a mile in his shoes. Then when you judge him, you're a mile a way and you've nicked his shoes.

Hi i do not know if it is still the same but. It used to be that if you wanted an LSD version you had to buy the QUAIFE units fully built from
Westfield. The cost was somwhere around £1200. And there was a 4.1 ratio available also. Not sure if Quaife will now sell a LSD as a seperate item
whithout going through westfield or not these days though.

Quaife will put the LSD internals into your Freelander diff for you (for a reasonable fee), or sell you the internals to do yourself. As I recall it
will cost you around £7-800. Not cheap, but similar cost to putting a Quaife ATB in a Sierra housing.
Cheers

This is a cheaper option if you have your own diff (you can find them <£200)

The Quaife Freelander LSD is available seperately but you need to be careful about which diff you have as it only fits the later one. Landrover
uprated the diff to incorporate larger journal bearings and the Quaife ATB LSD only fits this.
Quaife ATB available here
I'm looking at a Freelander diff as an essential for my car but will go with the open diff / sticky tyres to start with and then fit an ATB if
it really needs it.

Be aware that the new landrover is being built at Halewood shares chassis and mechanics with the X type thats built there which means underneath both
these cars they are the old Mondeo!

Sorry but that is complete and utter rubbish. I worked on the new freelander design for 3.5 years, and there is not one common component with the X
type.
The new freelander uses all new transmission design, so i am actually only refering to the old freelander diffs in this thread.
