    What he means by bleeding is the arc bars for those who dont know what arc is, it is a hydraulic anti roll bar to help with body roll, helps with suspension articulation. The first port of call when this noise was first documented was to bleed the front and rear arc bars.

    I have to say I prefer the l405 over the l422 the l422 in 12/13 my year are real lookers but the l405 just pips its. Have driven the l405 4.4v8 diesel and the 5.0l supercharger and they are very capable vehicle the use of materials and the ride quality are brillant, the scary thing is you dont...
