i was chasing it for weeks with the wd40 (thinking arb bushes etc) and when i finally found it a good soaking with WD sorted it

Interesting, it is mainly the front left side so will give that a squirt. :wink:
Did you spray some of the other bits with wd40? arb bushes etc

Cheers Rich, I get the feeling this is more normal than I thought, will get some GT85 on some choice contact areas and see how I go. Seems the good news is that nothing is broken or needs replacing :pomppomp:

yeah i was covering all the bushes in WD it was driving me mad. arb, wishbone, arb links etc and i finally discovered it was the sensor after 3 or 4 attempts at trying to find it

Had the same on both my V6 4Motions. Had ARB bushes replaced and noise was still there - turned out to be the ARB that needed replacing as the coating was being worn away by the rubber !!
