What causes failure in ird unit of freelander?

The best answer to this question I have ever seen is on
http://www.ashcrofttransmissions.co.uk/category_8.html It reads:
QUOTE The Freelander has 3 main drivetrain problems areas, the
Intermediate Reduction Drive (IRD), Viscous Coupling (VC) and the
rear differential. The reason for this is the front wheels on the
Freelander are driven faster than the rear wheels so it handles
well, like a front wheel drive car. To accommodate this ratio
difference, a VC is fitted inline with the rear propshaft which
thus is constantly slipping. On the earlier models this ratio
difference was too great resulting in the viscous coupling working
overtime and failing by siezing solid. When the viscous coupling is
too tight or seized solid the front tyres are fighting the rears as
the transmission is "winding up", initially this just wears the
tyres (causing a "saw tooth" effect) but it also puts increased
load on the IRD and rear diff as they are fighting each other
causing rapid wear on both and ultimately failure of one or both.
UNQUOTE The source of this comment is the Ashcroft Transmissions
website.

Asked in Taxes and Tax Preparation, Income Taxes
Do you have to claim your earnings from an estate on your federal income taxes?
By earnings from an estate, you probably mean your inheritance.
The answer is no.
But if the estate itself has earnings (for example, it earns
interest in its bank account or it sells property for a profit),
you may have to pay federal income tax on your distributive share
of the earnings. You also have to pay tax on what is known as
"Income with Respect to Decedent" or IRD. An example of IRD would
be a final paycheck given to a widow or interest paid on bonds
after the death of the original owner.
You may also have to pay taxes if you inherit a tax-prefered
account such as an IRA or 401k. The distributions from such an
account would be taxable.
