just curious the TD4e ( I had one for a few weeks ) was a 2WD version but you say you have had the diff bearing replaced ?
So is yours 2WD or 4WD ? Jaguar x-type sport gone
Jaguar x-type 2.2d sport one of my best cars ever sadly gone
Freelander 2 GS auto 2008 most unreliable ever ! gladly gone
Freelander 2 GS manual 2013 only time will tell !

oldgeezer,

You misunderstand.

The TD4.e, is the 4WD with TD4 engine that has an 'e'co setting for stop-start function.

The eD4, is the 2WD with SD4 engine.

[edit:] Just found this on Wiki......

Freelander 2 TD4_e
The Freelander TD4_e features stop-start technology to improve fuel economy and reduce carbon emissions. The system cuts out the engine when the vehicle is stationary, neutral is selected and the clutch engaged; the engine restarts when the clutch pedal is depressed.
The system includes a heavy-duty starter motor that also acts as a generator to recover energy through regenerative braking that is then stored in capacitors to restart the engine reducing stress on the vehicle's battery and electrical system. The stop-start system became available in spring 2009 on Freelander 2 TD4 models.

Freelander 2 eD4
For the 2011 model year, the option of two wheel drive (badged as eD4) was available. This version also lost Terrain Response and Hill Descent Control. For the 2014 model year, the Freelander gets a revised look with a grill and new interior piece.

Mine is a TD4_e, and I didn't know that.  FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Hi, thanks for your query, its permanent 4WD. The stop/start function comes on automatically but can be switched off. I believe the start motor, battery, clutch and flywheel are all upgraded to "heavy duty" for this model. I think!

There never was a manual option for a SD4 on a Freelander 2 unlike there was on an Evoque.

ED4 is a TD4 only.
