2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 X-Tech LE Nara Bronze

It's gone again. Went for a week long offroadtrip and it's gone.
Did notice some different rattling, like loose springs, when going downhill but since back in flat country O haven't heard that again too.

Will keep a close ear to it as I'm still not convinced it's sorted. I'll have it looked at by a defwiz in a few weeks time. If he says it's normal, I'll leave it alone.

Would love to get a brand new clutch under warranty though

Had the same issue,
its in fact the drum of the handbrake that isn't perfectly round.
When heating up, it starts to rattle.
Indeed it stops when you apply just a tiny bit of hand break

It's back since this morning. Haven't heard it for a couple of days but apparently it did not sort itself.
Iow it'll need a closer look.

Could it be brake pad rattle? It's pretty common on the back

As something slightly different I also had a low speed rattle, from the front, could only hear while coasting and window down. Got slightly worse when turning at low speed.

Steering damper slightly loose.

I had this, found to be the handbrake. I stripped it down and found a shoe was sticking and catching the drum which is slightly out of round. Lubed all the moving bits and it has never done it since !

This has happened on all 4 company Pumas. Very common. Anyone know a quick fix?

You can get anti rattle clips for the front and the back but fronts are ridiculously expensive for what you get.
