    Freelander 1 TD4 3 amigos ?

    I have 3 amigos on, we have checked with plugin and nothing showing my mechanic seems to think it may be one of the speed rings on any one of 4 wheels the engine management light is on and the brake warning as well, and I have no speedo from time to time there is a noise from the 2 back wheels...

    Freelander 1 enging hunting at tick over?

    Yes nothing showing up on the plugin data, it was doing this before the pump change and no I have not had the injectors check,I was thinking the fuel was running back to the tank and causing an air bleed before it starts....No idea

    Disco 1 nasty knocking??

    umm, Just went for a short trip and found that it almost goes away when the engine is pulling and comes back whilst coasting, and is Not associated with the engine something running/turning slower which from what said so far would indicate flex plate or flywheel area, which I have no experience...
