Firstly, a big hello to everybody from a new member!
I was looking for some reassurance, really. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 1.8 5dr S-Reg Freelander (XEi 50th Anniversary) ... It's in really good nick and has been well looked after. BUT.. I tried out the HDC on a very steep road nearby recently and although it worked, there is quite a loud fast-rattle-vibration noise that sounds like it is coming from somewhere behind the brake pedal when the HDC kicks in. As I roll down, the vehicle picks up speed and you can hear a relay 'click' in. HDC is then applied but the vibration is evident. When enough speed is scrubbed, it 'clicks' off and the vibration (and HDC) stops.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to know if this noise was normal, or indeed dangerous!! Would appreciate any advice.
Many thanks,
James
