Bottom ball joint , track rod end or possibly seized and /or worn front and rear bushes on the lower wishbone. It could also be the plastic bearing /bush on top of the strut . I had the same recently and found the bottom ball joint showed no wear in the static position but when suspension moved...

Right ,I'm trying to avoid fiscal ruination rectifying the 3 amigos laughing at me each time I use the car. Recently fault code interrogation revealed the recently replaced Wabco ABS pump had failed again on the same , but different end , shuttle valve failure as the original. After searching...

I'm afraid my advice to you is to get the system interrogated to see what codes are stored within the ABS section. This is not a cop out but because there are many and varied causes for this insidious problem and unfortunatly you will end up either being exceptionally lucky in finding it or more...

I'd agree Nick After reading my post again it may have been a mite sharp ....... It was not meant to be , my point was to the OP to give us the necessary info if he needs or wants help. PS I hope you don't get the " three amigos " fault as they can be a real PITA to get rid of , and I speak...

Whilst not wishing to discount your suggestion I'd offer a warning that simple fixes to this problem are very rare . I reached this conclusion after spending some considerable time reading the archives on here . I desperatly hoped that it could be solved by something like you suggested but do...

With all respect to you there's hardly a page on this forum without reference to this issue it's almost as common as dogsiht. Do what we all did & make yourself a cup of tea , sit down , do a search and enjoy what you find..............................

I found this last night , ABS TC HDC LANDROVER DISCOVERY II WABCO - YouTube Problem is that it's not very easy to understand.

Not good...........:( Just back after checking it and the code reader listed a number of faults on the ABS pump shuttle valves . Both rear right and left were showing faults .These were listed as short to ground and short to supply .I cleared the fault codes but was left with Pump failure 1...

That's interesting about the paper clip test and like you I've done it several times successfully on an Omega too. Didn't have to remove the relay though. I'm taking it up to a friends garage this evening to hook it up to his diagnostic code reader again to see if there are any fault codes...

Upon start up the brace of lights illuminate as they should and then the ABS and TC lamps stay on after the others go out. Then it goes one of two ways , when you drive off and reach the 5 to 8 mph pick up speed the amber HDC lamp comes on to join it's two mates or alternativly the ABS and TC...

Thank you SGVL........ They look fit for purpose so I've just bought three to try. I can't understand why they didn't show up on any of the searches I did. I'll post a reply once fitted. Thanks again ........

The wiper mechanism has been clanking away for some time on the '99 FL1 so I took it off to examine it. Found the linkage sockets (and therefore possibly the drive ball ends too ) worn along with the plastic cup washers which are split and worn . Greased them thoroughly but no good . Options...

Well , not the ecu problem still persists after I replaced it......... New sensors didn't arrive so not changed but that's the next move . Ho hum.

Well , firstly I sympathise with you as the fault can be a time consuming one to find. You certainly have done all the initial checks that I have done in the past and indeed all that you can do without having the car checked on a diagnostic system. I think that that is your next step...

The problem I had was that they were purchased locally when we lived in Bedfordshire but the failure only came to light after we had moved over here to Ireland. It just wasn't worthwhile contacting Pirelli as the tyres would have to have been returned to the supplier who in turn would have to...

Can I just confirm , It costs you a total of € 210 a month for combined road tax and insurance for your FL ?:eek: If so that is a horrendous sum to drive a car on the road. I'm about €1000 a year which is way short of your annual total.

I'd trade with you any day , over here in Ireland my wifes 1.8 Freelander costs €592 (£484 ) per year road tax and if it was a Td4 it would be €660 or £539 pounds sterling........ And you really think you're being shafted .....?

I had them and was very disappointed. Car suffered from a droning noise which couldn't be pinpointed front or rear. As you can imagine I tried a lot of things to try and locate it . Fortunatly a puncture occured and when the tyre was removed we discovered a considerable amount of loose tyre...

Well like you my wife has to drive down a severely pot hole ridden track to her work each day which will probably be getting on for 2 miles , so the cars suspension is given a hammering daily. I took the opportunity in doing the wishbones etc today as the track , which would you believe is the...

I'm begining to question the viability of non original equipment parts after finding the ARB drop links shagged after 8 months and 4.5 K miles . They replaced a set that lasted 8 K miles and 14 months , both FAI manufactured. On top of this whilst under the car today fitting new a new cat...
