I have been having a few problems with my freelander 2 whilst pulling away and turning for a few months now to which I took to 2 land rover dealers for a diagnostic check to which they could not find anything wrong. Well how wrong was they went to a mates garage yesterday to which we changed and replaced all the oils in the rear diff and haldex unit. Upon trying to draw oil out if the haldex we found that the oil was very black and sludgy so cleaned the unit out and cleaned the filter as there is no replacement filter available for the Gen 3 haldex unit.
However after road testing the freelander I find a trail of oil so we put it back on the ramp clean off and the oil to find that there is a oil leak in the core plug on the left side of the haldex unit which is caused by rust corrosion. So now I am stuck with a huge bill of £2413.59 plus the vat = £2,896.31. Landrover part number LR014073.

Sorry for the long story but does anyone know if I could obtain a replacement Core plug.

Could someone please check as I think I have made a error in thinking my haldex is faulty as I have just looked up a picture and the leak is on the differential side so do I require a new differential. Also is that haldex or diff oil that would leak out of the plug area.

Hello, i know that there is " replacement filter for haldex gen 3 ". i have MY 07 and buyed volvo xc90 haldex filter alot cheaper than land rovers. Dont remember the part number, but it is same part...

You posted a picture of Haldex 4 assembly.
Inside, the haldex extends on that brownish side.
Up until that upper breather tube connection is the Haldex side.
On the zone you named it "core plug" is Haldex oil.
Can you post a real picture of/from where the oil is leaking? With the leak?

I worked on the car last night to which we found that the sealing O ring between the Haldex and the Diff was perished as the old oil that was extracted was very black and sludgy. We also managed to Find a replacement core plug from a serious Accident damaged freelander where the freelander had gone off road and rolled over and sustained a major impact in the rear axle area.

I could not obtain a replacement Haldex filter for the Gen3 as Landrover say there isn't one available would Volvo do this filter as its Shorter and wider then the Gen 4 version yet the Top cover plate is the same.

Bullshi.... 30787687 part number, did and will fit 07 my, and far as i know 07 to 10 haldex 3,
Someone please confirm this?

Volvo aoc filter, volvo haldex filter, try google.

In finland land rover dealer told me part number, then i gave my middle finger and told im going to volvo whit that number and saved alot of money

Landrover sent me this filter lr003137 which is for the gen4 unit. They gave me the usual story of the filter is non replaceable on the gen 3. They said if i wanted a new filter i would have to buy a new haldex unit. I got this information from Matford landrover, roger young landrover and Brookwell landrover spares.
Thanks for the information regarding the filter from volvo i will be ordering a new one tomorrow.

It should fit because, ive got 07my and haldex 3, and i used that part code to replace my filter, and if u do have haldex 3 it should fit allso but im not sure what my they started to use haldex 4 !

I allso used volvos haldex oil! One litrr can 20€ alot cheaper than lans rovers. Land rover oil 2x 300ml tubes costs in finland over 100euros. Try search on forum by rear diff or something i have posted somewhEre allso that oil part number

I guess i found it, ask this from volvo dealer Volvo AOC/Haldex Fluid and allso haldex filter

LR003137 is the part number for the oil, not the filter.
Haldex 3 and Haldex 4 filters are not replaceable between each other.
Haldex 4 was introduced since MY2009.

Sorry i entered the wrong part number filter that land rover sent me was Lr032298 cost arround £30.
As the filter was wrong we just cleaned the old one. But had to use the metal end cap from the wrong filter as the origional cover broke as it was stuck on.
I have ordered some more oil and the correct filter from volvo this morning so i will fit these as soon as it arrives. Thanks for every ones help.

Anyone been using Volvo or Rover Haldex Filters recently for the later Gen 4 unit ?
Could you do a filter change in situ ?
Where did you source parts and oil ?

Thanks in anticipation  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

A little late for an answer but in case some one else like me was looking, you can source the parts from Haldex themselves using the Volvo part numbers listed above in Alex's post.
