Are the mass dampers OK? If the metal mass is loose, there will be a knock from the rear. |

I used JLR SDD to remove those things, except auto locking after getting out, as that wasn't active on mine. |

There's a weep hole between the diff and haldex seal. It's a special labyrinth seal with a void between the 2 components, which has a weep hole for leak identification.  |

A crank sensor replacement is a simple DIY job. It's only secured by a single 10mm head bolt. I've done 2 on the roadside, both in under 10 minutes to be on my way again. |

The FL2 doesn’t use a vacuum assisted brake booster. The ‘abs’ pump does the pressurising and modulating of the various parts of the brake system. From your description I’d be looking for code ... |

No, there's no way to add car play or android auto to the factory system.
