Quick update. I still haven’t had a chance to get it up in the air yet, but I’m starting to think it’s brake related. Having said that, I hooked up my diagnostic tool to it today, which threw up a few faults. I erased all of them and the clicking/knocking seems to have stopped. Does that...

I won’t be able to get it up in the air until after the weekend. Will update then.

the nearest I’ve heard to the noise is when a front cv joint went on my 300tdi discovery, but this is nowhere near as bad, or loud. I’ve checked the brake dust cover plates.

that’s what I thought, but there’s been no whining at all. I’ll check the springs, but what am I looking for apart from a clean break?

I took my FL2 in for a service last week. As I drove out of the garage, there was quite a loud banging for a few seconds as I pulled onto the main road. Of course, I drove a bit further before turning round and going back to the garage. The mechanic said it might be the suspension settling...

Yes, that’s more or less what he said. He said the car didn’t know it had a tow bar fitted, so he ‘told it it had’. His words, lol

After scouring the internet, YouTube and forums to get a clue as to why my tow bar electrics weren’t working, I had to bite the bullet today and take it to an Indy 4x4 garage. initially, they couldn’t fit my car in until next Thursday, but when I said I had an important long journey to make...

Anyone in or around Colchester, Essex, I thoroughly recommend JSF 4x4 in Manningtree. They have really helped me out many times, even staying open late one weekend to source me a trailing arm for my disco 1. Always ready to give good advice, too. Today, they pulled out all the stops to sort...

I’ll check and take photos tomorrow. Thanks.

I think I’ll just unplug it when not in use, to be honest. Thing is, it’s a Land Rover tow bar. I can’t understand why it wasn’t done properly?

This one has got me stumped. I’ve done the usual searches and just ended up more confused. I recently hitched up to a trailer, plugged the electrics in, but no lights worked on the trailer. I lifted the boot liner to trace the wiring and found a disconnected plug. It’s not the Land Rover plug...

Bang on the money, Nodge! I didn’t fit the new pump and now the car drives perfect. Nice and smooth with no thudding or juddering when pulling away on either lock. Thanks buddy, for your good advice.

Thanks Nodge, you’re a star….again.

where can I find the link for that download? thanks.

Great stuff!

The dealer I bought the car from is sending me a new pump and I’m going to fit it myself. It was a choice of that or waiting a week to get booked in with his mechanic, who I saw today, and going without my car for a day. By having the part delivered and fitting it myself, it’ll be a half an...

Thanks, that makes sense. It does seem to be improving. It’s hardly noticeable now, but it still isn’t right. The mechanic said that if it hasn’t been serviced, with the dirty oil and gunk, the pumps start to burn out. I’ll give it a bit more time before doing anything.

Oh well, the judder is a lot better, but it’s still there sometimes. Had a diag from a mechanic this morning and it came up insufficient data coming from rear diff.

Yes, although the battery started the car and the health indicator was still green, it obviously wasn’t 100%. From starting, everything would be fine for about a mile, then the faults would start appearing on the dash. Even then, I’d still get a slight judder on pulling away on lock before the...
