hmm... i wonder if its the reverse sensor noise maker?Maybe for the optional wheel well water level detector

Do you have TPMS? got a pic?
Cant recall anything loose in there, but dont go in there often TBH.

nope no tpms, no button on the dash.. one less thing to break

Rear right tail light lower cubby area a white box is where the original trailer module is looked like a white box cigarette packet sized mine was a lr/westfillia oem bar and electrics

TPMS is not on a switch, you cant turn it on or off if you have it.
But if you dont have it (dont know if it was an option) maybe that what the lug is for. do you have a small oval black plastic thing about 3inchs long in the wheel well? thats the sensor.
J
ah, the pic i saw was for an early l322, flat tyre button below DSC button.. the later ones dont have that
not seen a black oval thing anywhere.. do you mean the spare wheel well?
lots of boxes around the fuse box area, dont recall a white one
or an empty space either! just a sticker in a polystyrene locator for the removable towbar!! the trailer flashy light comes on with indicators though
Yes I thought about something similar to fix the broken one, so I have a spare.

Yes in the well, but as yours was speced for space saver they werent fitted, I fink, but it could be your stray plug

Don't think you need it if there is a tell-tale on the dash.
maybe, but easier to hear a beep and look where you're going
you only really need beeps if you're blind

You soon get used to using the sensors, really handy as a guide for parallel parking in tighter spaces and if your against a wall the beep beep to a solid beep would leave me enough room if i was backed too a wall to still get in the boot and if i was backing upto car trailer i could actually get it within a few centimetres of the hitch without even having to get out and lookmaybe, but easier to hear a beep and look where you're going

heres a question.. i must be bored
some cars, notably the hippo, dont like mixed tyre sizes as they can strain the transmission (haldex)
is this all versions of haldex or just some? what about other systems like the viscous coupling used on the P38 or torsen diff used on newer landys and other AWD cars?

On early Freelanders before the Haldex, the VCU etc suffered with uneven tyre wear front to rear. The P38 also has a VCU albeit used differently but it will still wind up with uneven tyre wear front to rear. I had an Xtrail which I believe used a Haldex, there was a big notice in the handbook about evening out the tyre wear and replacing all 4 at the same time. The Torsen diff is in some ways a self locking LSD so again it would be under strain with uneven tyre wear front to rear.heres a question.. i must be bored

Heres my take on it
.Any physical lock will cause wind up if not used in the correct conditions.
viscous and Haldex (although I don't know haldex don't want too either) is a resistance which is made by heating fluid so wear occurs. but (for me) cannot actually get into a wind up situation. Because there is no actual mechanical connection plus when you stop everything will relax and back to square 1 normal.
Torsen type is 1 I would need to class differently as its a variable 1 and not a positive lock but not fluid controlled, so shouldn't give
wind up either.
As far as I am learned
, any car classified as AWD/4WD should really have tyres changed in sets. Oh and your new toy doesn't have the torsen diff transfer box

As far as I am aware, the Haldex box uses electronically controlled hydraulically operated slipping mechanical clutches with normally 95% of torque going to the front wheels. As with most modern things, it seems designed to wear out.Heres my take on it

Ok, so its much like the modern 322 center diff locking, but in the 322 it wont take affect in normal driving program. the diffs take care of normal wear which really is a minor issue?

Maybe over simplified, but the viscous units sound similar in operation to the viscous fan..Heres my take on it

Haldex and torsen seem far too complicated for their own good!!
I thought i had read the 322 used torsen, but i can't remember where i read that! What does it use n? And does it depend on the model year ie which gearbox is used?
Before i plumped for the 322 i was considering an audi a6 allroad, that used torsen apparently.. but it's a freaking long car!! Longer than the landy!!
From what @Datatek said the haldex is similar to the present day 322 center locking(ish) ability. Cant remember what year they changed from the torsen.
The torsen is an ATB type which is fiction controlled no driver input needed
