I just noticed that my pics where on my old isp showing the new rear. I'll have to upload them again somewhere. It's pretty easy to see the difference the new differential is held together by studs instead of bolts. Hopefully that's standard so that you can easily tell.


Oh and If you're approaching 90k throw a torx driver in your car for the steering column lock that will fail on you soon leaving you stranded. It's just two bolts under the column to remove the cover then you can give it a couple whacks with something to free it up. Should get you home.


Here are pics of the new rear and steering lock.

 

Hi Oliver,

Do you have any experience with Haldex failure?

Thanks!

 

I do not. I didn't even realize that the LR2 had a Haldex system. I'm used to changing the fluid and filter in a Haldex ever 10-20k miles on my old Audi. I've only looked into things on the LR2 that have failed. Battery, Fan, Rear, Steering lock and adding the trailer hitch module.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info and the heads up on the steering column lock. I'll be doing getting in there and taking a look around this weekend.
