It has 340,000km on it :D

Drove it - 240+km Still a very nice car to get around in. Pleasing economy: 11.12 Km/litre - or 8.99 litre /100km

ABS sensor removed cleaned lightly lubed and refitted - pushed onto the reluctor ring and that backed off just a 'tad'. 3 amigos GONE. :) HDC works as it should... Very happy

I took the plunge today and took the FL1 to have the codes read. The prob I've got is that after fitting a replacement clutch I had the 3 amigos :( Managed to get 2 of them to 'go' but was left with the yellow HDC lamp on. I've recently replaced the suspect ABS sensor [FLH] and that brought the...

Hmm, when you turn the ignition on can you hear the fuel pump operating priming the fuel system?

My penny-worth: Years Ago I owned a Rover P5B. The sump gasket needed replacing. When the sump was off it got a good clean. In it was a grey almost clay-like goo at the bottom and in that were numerous aluminium pieces = shavings. I wasn't hugely concerned and put it down to residue from the...

In the plastic inlet manifold on the left hand side [as you look at the motor] there is a jiggle valve - a small diameter pipe leaves the manifold by the engine oil dipstick and connects to the coolant tank. The plastic manifold can warp... or be very slightly mis-shaped and coolant can get past...

I hope you've seen this gem!

Ha - it was new in 2015. But has always had poor reception.

Thanks for that - Yes I do have a wired in Dash cam. However, the radio reception was crap before I fitted that :(

Hello peeps, \Advice needed from I.C.E gurus My radio reception is poor. I've a Sony head unit [CD, USB input, AUX input, Blue tooth connectivity]. It's the radio which annoys me. It quickly loses reception - crackles.... no buzzing that increases with speed. Things I've done: replaced the...

Spend a couple of hours under the FL1. Initially I was wanting to add an extra aluminium washer to the first gear switch on the g'box to see if I could get rid of the amber HDC warning lamp. But I could find the right washer anywhere :( So I hard a good look at the VCU bearings and rubber...

A knocking of clonking? Possible noise from the front end = Anti roll bar [ARB] bushes cheap & easy to fix. OR Drop links are worn out [they connect the ARB to the strut]. Again a pretty easy fix and not expensive either. Rear end Noise: could be a number of things. When cornering and under...

OK - that's an interesting idea. I'll have a look.

I've been tinkering with this problem for a while now but feel defeated. I must have missed something obvious. Late last year I replaced the clutch in my'98 K series FL1. All seemed to go well and the clutch works beautifully now. However, I have the amber HDC warning lamp lit on the dash. On...
