I would be so happy if leaving it unplugged for a while does cure it as every fix seems to cost a fortune on a freelander. |

I have it all filled out and saved so I have no idea why it's not showing in my profile |

It will be raised once I can be 100% sure it is the Haldex as I've also been advised that it could also be the PTU. Hopefully my partner will tell me tonight that the rear skip has stopped now the Haldex fuse is pulled and we will know the Haldex is at fault. If she says it's still there and I also notice it tomorrow then it's 50/50 weather it's the Haldex or PTU or both knowing my luck. |

So was the problem still there with the Haldex fuse out? |

So far the verdict is that my partner doesn't think it was scrabbling at the back but her journey to and from work isn't the most conclusive. Hopefully now that I've got the car I'll get a good idea if it has gone or not. |

I took it out for a very quick drive and taking out the fuse seems to have stopped the locked diff sensation I was having. It will be interesting as the days go on if it comes back while the fuse is out. |

I had similar symptoms about a year after the rear diff had been replaced.

I had the same problem on our Blue 2009 FL2. It required a new rear diff, Haldex unit, and the front Bevel box had stripped teeth. I had a seized Handbrake some time ago, so that was suggested was the start of trouble. £1800 worth of work. |

was £1800 the total price or just the labour? Jules |

Just to finish off this thread from my perspective. My issue was a faulty Haldex, the lovely people from FreelanderSpecialist.com have swapped my faulty one out for a working unit and it's nice to be back in 4WD. |
