Freelander VCU issues?

I have a 98 landrover freelander 2.0 Di and bought it with a siezed vcu and blown IRD. I replaced the IRD months ago and have been driving it as front wheel drive, until recently I bought a new VCU and fitted the propshaft back in the car. not sure if this is a problem or not but the car feels tight when turning full lock both forwards and back and you can hear the wheels working against each other while turning as well on gravel, and it feels a little slower in pickup. is this normal? it is brand new bearmach part for 4 cylinder freelanders. thanks :)

    Get a Freelander specialist to have a look and check out the transmission sooner than later. It may also have a rear diff issue or a dodgy bit. Bearnech stuff is good but not perfect.

    On gravel you might get the slip as the wheels do rotate at different speeds by design which is why the VCU is fitted.

    Hi As the freelander was a FORD idea not a true land rover it is so surprising it has lasted this long. so time to be thinking about some other vehicle otherwise you will constantly be in a land rover dealers having something repaired.
