Intermittent spring like noise from accelerator pedal
Hi, would appreciate any input as I have an intermittent spring like /buzzing noise from the accelerator pedal. It seems to only happen at slow speeds and mostly when at near to full left lock. The noise lasts for a seconds or so at most and you can feel vibrations through the accelerator pedal. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

I would say that it is your TC doing funny stuff.

That could be a great shout. I'll check the pads and discs. Thanks Landy Andy

Having now read more about TC, I realise I may have damaged/dislodged an ABS sensor(s) when replacing springs and shocks recently. I'll prob look to replace the front two and see if that solves the issue. Thanks again Landy Andy

tried to clean and re-seat each of the ABS sensors today - and have made things worse!

Am I OK to disconnect one sensor at a time and then drive it, to work out which one is causing the issue? Or will disconnecting one sensor cause problems?

I have a similar noise, wondering if we have the same. Thought it could be from the steering, but I also feel it in the accelerator pedal. TC would make sense. Making my Defender great again. (Or trying to at least xD)

It was an ABS sensor fault in my case.

I disconnected the rear two abs sensors (there are connectors underneath the truck near-ish to the handbrake drum) and this has stopped the juddering and noise.

I think I damaged the sensor cable when trying to remove the A frame ball joint so I've got two new sensors on order and expect this is now all sorted.

Thanks to everyone for their input Thumbs Up
