got an 03 freelander se3. Question is, my driveshaft is bent. Don't know how it did but at the same time I don't wanna pay for a new one. Any ideas as to if it can be unbent? Rebuilt for cheap? or anyone know any inexpensive parts or used ones? Also I need a new blower motor with resistor. Lookin online and parts show around 4hundred. Anyone know anything less pricy? Thanks
Freelander is a newer unit, might not be a lot at dismantlers yet, or even salvage yards, as they command enough $$$ to be considered a rebuildable wreck.
Might want to consider local electric motor repair shop. You sure you just don't need resistor pack?
Don't believe you'll have much success straightening the drive shaft, but a drive line shop can fab one for you for a lot less than a dealer. And if it something like a couple of U joints, they can deal with that for even less.
your blower motor went cause the heater core is leaking all over it.
You don't need a resistor. They don't go bad. the motor goes first cause of the coolant.
Sorry but the dash has to be pulled.
You might want to chuck the car now since you can't fathom paying for anything. Cause guess what, if you think a blower motor is expensive you aint seen the other crap along with the engine and transmission that go bad.

I just spent the day gutting my Freelander. I thought I had a rod knocking. But still Am not sure. This was a ca Black leather, 2.5 v6. I thought would be good for the wife and kids. Well now it is good for parts. I do have the drive shaft. I am not sure about the rules of selling Parts on here. We can use paypal, whatever works, I need to pull some of my cash back out of it. I can email pictures Please call Charles 850-305-1957. If you google concrete by charles, Crestview fl You will see I am not a scamer. Good luck
