Now nearly a week on the wifes daily drive and still no amigos !!! So after month's of farting about I think the problem was a combination of a rear ABS sensor and a faulty or bad conection on the G-sensor down by the hand brake ! Hope that this can help some other bod with the same problem !

With the dash lights off messing around with the wires for the G - sensor down by the hand brake cable the lights came back on,cleared the lights by moving wires again, tapping on the sensor with a screw driver brought them on again, changed G - sensor for a another second hand one and put a...

Would the fact that the problem has been fixed but the fault codes are still stored in the ECU bring the lights back on ? Read some where that they were automaticaly wiped after 40 start up's with no recurring fault ?

So re-cap ! Brake switch changed ! Rear right ABS sensor changed ! Checked wires for HD on gear stick ! Taken all ABS sensors out, cleaned and put back in with copper slip to set gap ! Checked all ABS sensors getting aprox 1.200 Ohms that fluctuates when wheels are turning ! Reluctor rings on...

I took out all the fuses/relays including under bonnet that fixed the lights for nearly 4 days the last time to no availe !! Light's on all the time, disconected the big plug on the ABS pump and the lights went out but came back on again after a few miles. I have a scrapper 1.8 petrol with the...

I drained the oil and took the rear prop drive flange out and although the drive flange looks to have wear non of the teeth are missing. Bit's of what looks like the bearing flange cage were in the oil !Having made a plate for the flange hole (sounds nice) in the IRD I would like to change the...

Hippo was right the bastides came back as before after a few miles driving !!!!! Takeing the ABS fuse out and putting back in again seems to keep them at bay for a few days ????

Every fred I have read the OP never got back with the solution !!!!!! Our's/hers is still amigo free since Sunday for the first time in years :-) In the past I spent ages taking the abs sensors out cleaning to no availe, changing sensors,brake switch !! The solution for me seems to be just...

Thanks Hippo ! Top man ;-) Was thinking of whipping the pinion off and having a look anyway ! Not dropped the oil yet so I don't know what that's like !

No doubt :-)

I have just bought a cheap Freelander for spares as the IRD was on it's way out due to the visco that was past it's sell by date. I have taken the rear prop shafts and visco off (Mondo Mode) and she drives well with no noises.I have un screwed the IRD filler cap and the cog behind looks good...
