Defender "90" ..Sub Woofer "rattle/vibration&
Had a bit of a muck about with the Defender stereo today to get the settings to my liking, played a few of my "America" tracks, Ventura Highway etc!
Anyway, I detected a massive vibration/rattle/ crackling noise from the sub woofer,...definitely faulty. Anyone else had this issue?
I booked it into the service dept & suggested they get in a new sub woofer so I wouldn't have to come in twice, but they said they'd have to get one of their tecs to look at it first?
Cheers, Pickles.

Hi Pickles,

I only picked up my new MY14 Defender on Thursday and had this exact same issue - I too thought the sub was faulty, but it was a small piece of protective plastic film that hadn't been removed at the bottom of the sub on the inside of the outer face.

You just need to manoeuvre your hand under the front face and remove the plastic film and the vibration will disappear Wink .

regards
Daniel

Oldham, THANK YOU SO MUCH.....PROBLEM SOLVED!!
I've just been out to the garage & removed that piece of clear plastic film (I knew it was there, because I felt it yesterday when I was trying to locate the rattle!), I've played a CD again & the problem is GONE.
Thanks to you, I'm a happy man. Have a Merry Christmas!
My father was a Church of England Priest. he was in several Parishs in the Manchester area before migrating here from Abbey Hey, Manchester in 1958. In terms of your user name, are you from Oldham, my Dad was very good friends with a Priest who had a Parish in Oldham.
Thanks again, Pickles.

Hi Pickles,

Yes I am from Oldham, a proper Lancashire lad! - glad I was able to help you solve your problem. I know how annoying that noise was and I thought that LR had not tightened something properly (sorry LR, not your fault Bow down ).

The easy and free solutions are always the best and I am glad it has saved you an unnecessary trip to the dealers.

Have a great Christmas Very Happy

Regards
Daniel
