In that video he doesn't disconnect the prop shaft. He says he couldn't do it. There's also some leaking I think on the left of the prop shaft, the pressure accumulator or pressure relief valve. Is this normal?
The first (russian) video shows how to remove the prop shaft. You need to do that to remove the haldex and replace your seals.
The second video shows how to service the haldex and refill the fluid. He takes it for a drive to circulate the fluid, but you can also leave it on the jacks, and turn the ignition on (motor off) for five minutes to circulate the fluid before the final fill, that's what LR manual says to do.
As far as leaks go, you want none because the haldex has a relatively small amount of fluid so even a small leak will cause problems sooner rather than later. Page two of this thread has a blow up diagram of haldex parts and talks about a seal kit. Get your haldex out, then it's easy to take apart and replace all the seals. Some people take the clutch pack apart and clean it, personally I would not bother with that. I'd just replace the seals on the pump, shaft, and body-to-diff. Looks like the ECU has a gasket too that comes in the kit.
also verify whether you have a Haldex 3 or Haldex 4, the parts might be different.
huge help, also thank you for the boost of confidence. Ive got a gen 4 haldex. Vin is not in the range of the service bulletin. Just the leaks from the awd are the biggest crutch right now.
So I cleaned everything off and made it all dry as a bone, and after driving for a while it looks like the leaky seal is the input shaft seal, and there may be another leak further up at the haldex filter. But for sure one of the main culprits is the input shaft seal.
I can't get a mechanic to fix it. I would have to do this on my own. The specialist Rover shop is not very hot on this model and even when I called for a quote he said I was crazy to want to fix it, because the seals in these diffs basically just disintegrate, and this car will become a money pit.
On another note, the local shop that did tires and brakes said "don't worry about it. just drive it. it all just depends on how much money you want to throw at it."
Problem is, I don't think 10 years old is that old. 15 maybe. But you gotta hold oil from your AWD system at 10 years. Come on.
May I know the part number? I have same situation for my LR2 2008 HSE i6

That's the Haldex pinion seal. Should be LR076676. If it's the differential itself leaking, then the pinion seal at the differential (cannot be seen in that photo) is LR023442.
