Ah - I had a feeling it would be something along those lines  2010 Freelander 2 HSE Auto Santorini Black / Ebony Leather

So to answer the ops question wind up is not an issue as the haldex would disengage in any mode before the trans was loaded up.

thanks guys that's really interesting!

Try selecting GGS mode and doing a few tight turns on tarmac and I think you'll find the FL2 can suffer wind up!

Only in 'normal' mode, not special programs. See LR's description of GGS in my earlier post.

You can also get wind up on the straight and level. See my experience here: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic19396.html And yes, it WAS the Haldex! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

The Haldex is not so simple:

Haldex GenIV consists
of four functional parts:

1. Hydraulic power pack with electrical motor and accumulator

2. Wet multi-plate clutch

3. Controllable pressure-reducing valve

4. Electronic control unit (ECU)

​Haldex Generation IV is an electronically controllable all-wheel drive
coupling for cars. The Haldex GenIV includes an electronic control unit with vehicle dynamics software that can be customized to meet each carmaker's particular desires in terms of driving characteristics.

The front and rear axle of the car are connected via the wet multi-plate clutch which makes it possible to vary the torque distribution between the two axles. As the function of the Haldex GenIV is independent of the differential speed between the front and rear axle, full locking torque, if needed, is available at any given time and speed.

When starting the vehicle, the electrical pump in the Haldex GenIV is started, swiftly providing the system with pressurized oil and thereby making the system ready for operation. The control valve sets the pressure to the piston which in turn compresses the disc package. The level of pressure set depends on the torque level needed and the driving situation. In traction/high slip conditions, high pressure is delivered. In tight curves (e.g., parking) or at high speeds, a much lower pressure is provided.

Ok so the Haldex locks permanently with a terrain response program selected.

Quote:

In 'Grass / Gravel / Snow' mode the coupling is programmed to maintain its pre-charge state until much higher speeds are obtained. The same applies even if the vehicle is traveling at low speeds and acute steering angles, as traction takes precedence over coupling lock-up on low-friction surfaces.
