Quick question for you guys.

I've tested quite a few Freelanders (as I'm sure you have) which have the rear diff mounting bushes excessively deteriorated causing a lot of movement at the rear axle. In my opinion this should be a reason for rejection, but I cant find one within the manual, so I pass with a strongly worded advisory.
Am I missing the failure for rejection or is this simply an advisory?
