There's no need to be confused Ash, what I'm saying is if I lift the car up on the jack you can remove and overhaul my Haldex pump as you understand them and I don't 😁😁😁.
To be fair, it's past an overhaul, its toast, so I need a new one. I'm just pissed off at the thought of paying nearly 2k, of which only £107 is labour, to have a new one supplied and fitted 😭😭😭😭😭

The Haldex Unit is like a sort of clutch that distributes drive to each wheel automatically to maintain traction. On my Freelander it controls the drive ratio to all 4 wheels. There is a pump in it, pumping oil and that's all I know really John. On mine, not only has the internal pump packed up but it's also sort of eaten itself, so I can only drive in 2 wheel drive now (not a problem) but the drive ratio is all cocked up, and scrubbing out tires, so I need a complete unit. I'm still driving the car 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow.thats nasty.

But an oil pump!

It should last forever.
I assume it is sealed for life.and no oil changes needed.


Bit like auto boxes.

I was told change auto box oil every 40k miles.

It does deteriorate.

According to Land Rover its a sealed, non serviceable item and therefore there is no mention in the service schedule of cleaning the filter out and changing the oil every 2-3 years. But, Audi, Skoda, Volvo etc use the same unit and the dealers service them and repair them ( there's an overhaul kit you can get but that's still about £600 parts and labour). I could get the local independent Land Rover specialist to do the overhaul on the pump and filter but there's a very high chance I could drive up the road and the same problem occurs as the actual metal internals of my unit are knackered, so a false economy really. I suppose its the same as fitting a bike oil pump with new seals and O rings, if the working parts inside are shot, it's not going to solve the problem. Its a pain in the arse TBH.
