If the rear drivetrain starts giving trouble and you can’t get to a garage, or the garage can’t do the work for a couple of weeks, you won’t want to risk expensive damage by driving on. So, remove the complete assembly of front and rear prop shaft and VCU. You can then use the car in two wheel drive with far less load on the differential and IRD, and with no chance of damaging other parts of the transmission.
Some Freelander owners have left the drive train off permanently, with no drive train worrries, no tyre problems and up to 4mpg extra economy. They don’t go off roading, of course.
