My (original) diff was on 150,000mls with original oil when I sold the Freelander. The Freelander was ex lease and serviced in accordance with LR service schedules. Changing the oil was on my to do list but I never got round to it. I bought it with 132,000miles on the clock and sold it after 18months and 18,000mls. It was still on the original clutch, turbo ,ptu etc as well. |

I got the tool off a forum member. The kit I bought doesn't seem to be available now. However it was like this one. https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/rear-differen...36637.html Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

I have 67k on mine and changed rear diff oil and PTU as well as Haldex at approx 50k so will replace all 3 again this year.

It’s absolutely disgusting that Land Rover knew about the diff crown bearing problem not long after the first cars rolled off the production lines but failed to address the problem in the whole FL2’s production life. |

I'm going to be getting mine out before the next MOT, as I want to either replace the subframe, or clean it up and replace some of the suspension links.

Hi John. I am doing some work on MY07 this coming spring & summer, and i was looking at changing out the rear sub frame etc as opposed to removing it and cleaning up & painting link i have kept just in case. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126215646443 |

Mine had a drain plug fitted at 48,000 miles and the oil changed every other service after that.

The decision to make transmission parts (gearbox, haldex, diff) 'Sealed for Life' were taken under the Ford controlled period.

"Just don't understand the extended oil service idea or even the fit and forget mentality, changing the oil gets rid of the swarf and debris that are a normal part of wear and tear. You aren't changing the oil you are cleaning out the rubbish."

Exactly. JLR’s competitors have more frequent service requirements for the same or similar components. Me, I'll go for the scheduled oil change rather than the unscheduled breakdown every time! |
