    bang from rear

    Tell us a bit more about this so we can see if we can help. I haven't read your original post least ways not tonight and I'm too tired but you say the bang comes from the rear ? LOUD bang or soft thud ,auto or manual,going up the box and /or comming down , does it happen on harsh acceleration...

    bang from rear

    Look, I think all that read this will tell you to cease dealings with this garage ,which at £135 + an hour must be a main dealer .... You haven't listed where you are on your details but surely even if you're in the middle of the Kalahari there must be some other mechanically minded person...

    Mondo

    Corrrrrrrrrrrrrrect ..... It may have a certain recon'd or should that be re "conned" vcu supplied by a certain supplier who I believe we are prevented from naming . I bought and fitted one and can say without any contradiction that you get fook all drive to the rear wheels when fitted .

    Clunk from rear...

    There are three u/j's on your prop shaft , grasp each on either side and try and twist if you feel any movement or play change it or 'em..... I did the rearmost two weeks ago due to exact symptoms.

    Rattle driving me mad

    I'm sure you'll appreciate how difficult it is to diagnose a rattle or clunk without hearing it but i'd suspect the anti roll bar bushes and drop links first .These are an all too common failure . Over the years I've replaced them several times and the symptoms are exactly as yours . I've...

    Pollen filter

    This was covered way back on this thread and the conclusion was that there is no set model or year of Pre 2000 FL that has or has not got a pollen filter . Each owner will have to check their own vehicle . Just because yours has is not a definitive conclusion that all have . It's a great pity...

    abs/hdc !/ tc light on after disc & pad change

    I'd think it was highly probable that damage was done to the internals of the ABS sensor after mashing the disc , especially as there was no apparant fault beforehand. Get a digital multi meter and unplug the abs to loom connector situated down the side of the battery ( you may have to unbolt...

    Front wishbone bushes( rear )

    Right all I need to replace both front wishbones on my FL1 and want to replace the rearmost bushes too. After searching I see that these are a bugger to remove and refit into the alloy casing but the difference in price between the bushes alone and the combined bush and casing is too great to...

    Colour coded bumpers

    I've thought about sourcing a spare trim set and doing it , I think the FL1 suits it. They can be painted but it's not just point and spray.

    ABS sensor

    If it's tripping in at low speeds it would imply that there is no signal from one , or more, of the sensors and that it's open circuit. This would simulate a locked up wheel to the ABS ECU. If that is the case then you should be able to see if it is the sensor (s) by checking the ohmic values...

    3 amigos.... is there any harm?

    There are many causes of the three amigos . Prior to doing anything get the car connected to a code reader to see if anything is logged.

    Pollen filter

    With all respect FL'r I don't think that the pollen filter was a factory option on mine. Just look at the difference in shape & complexity of the evaporator box and consider the " just in time "effort required to fit one with/without a filter at time of build . Why would LR have two entirely...
