Hey landyAndy. I have been down the road on the Famous watts link clunk and got a bit creative one day by putting electrical tape on the watts link were it could bind with other metal only to find that there were no marks or cuts were it could touch the diff or other metel so I ruled out the watts link.Quote:

Humour me will you? I want to try some thing, and I don't have a TC button.
SWITCH THE STUPID BLOODY TRACTION CONTROL OFF.
Ahem, and Leave it off. Then drive over your bump again.
I'll bet your bang sound goes away.
The most ridiculous DORK idea I have ever heard of. The vehicle was designed with 3, count them three, limited slip differentials. It has the Range Rover Posi-traction system. What under educated doofus decided it was a good idea, to fit a computer that keeps slamming the bloody brakes on, to a vehicle that NEEDS to be worked, to pull through the rough stuff.
Humour me please and just try it.
Shorty.
yea mine is a auto.

Shorty. The only way i can see to switch the TC off is by switching off the engine then engaging the CDL then stating. Is there another way to switch TC off.???????
I would suspect the shocks topping out - jack the rear end under the x-member or tow bar and see how high you can lift it before a wheel starts to lift. This happened to me with heavier rear springs fitted and standard shocks.
Forgive me, the newest any thing, I have ever had is my 79 model S3.
Traction Control can't be turned off? And what, please explain, is CDL?
S'okay, just worked it out. Central Diff Lock. Right?
Oh my, your poor little truck. And it's an Auto. The poor bloody thing has every thing going against itself full time. Especially, that public servant, of a Traction Control system. For ever slamming the brakes on, because it thinks you have lost control.
Next week good old "some boffin", will tell a journalist that man kind is too important and fragile to be allowed to actually operate the vehicle themselves, and must employ a "trained technician" to chauffer them.
And then good old Harold Scroobie will rant about our unsafe behemoth people killers. And demand the computer take full control of the vehicle, for "pedestrian safety" of course.
What ever happened to actually driving the vehicle ourselves. What ever happened, to the concept of the driver, actually being in control of the vehicle.
Any how, back to this bang. Some how, I think it is related to the TC set up.
If any wheel breaks traction in any way, it will speed up in relation to the rest. The computer will slam on the brakes. And if the wheel is in the air, it will stop with a bang. Then start again with a bang as power comes back on.
Try not going over bumps?:angel:
Sorry Will. I am the definitive Luddite.
The only help posts, for the older models? Where can I obtain an old some thing, and not very many of those.
For the new models, it is always the "computer" and "TC". And every model.
Sell the modern head ache and buy a "real" Land Rover.
And no, I don't want to buy a newer Landy.
And double no, I will Not be selling my S3.
No traction control, no ABS, no ECU, no buttons to push at all. A total drivers joy. And if it goes bang?
Don't worry, what ever it was, the Landy has "brushed" it out of the way.
Shorty.
