sorry, not sure where exactly the crack is you refer to

(haven´t seen any crack on my 1year old Puma anywhere. But I turned to not looking too closely. Too many witness of the §%§##-build quality if I did

This way I sleep better).

I suspected that to be honest. Can a replacement be fitted? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

I have just had a similar noise on my 11 plate, it turned out to be a loose bolt that keeps the drivers side floor down, tightened up and all quiet again, hope your problem is as easy to sort out.

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 SW Orkney Grey

Where did you locate the scew for the drivers side floor? I have 3 annoying me right now.

1 i know is the passenger side seat. its loose and moving about. Need to tighten it down.

2. is the dash. The steering column isnt on straight (aren't they all) and the left side is pressing up on the dash and causing a creak.

3.i have a feeling it could be the bolt on the floor.

The bolt I needed to tighten was on the floor below the handbrake, just needed to remove carpet and then get someone to hold the nut from underneath the vehicle while tightening up from cab, if you have loose bolts suggest you tighten them all first before looking elsewhere, as noises on defenders can be misleading and sometimes difficult to pinpoint.
