i have had a gradual droning noise lately that is getting worse. it is rev/load dependent. was convinced it was drivetrain related, had my props off greasing everything etc. now over the last few days it has got worse. this is good though as it makes it easier to work out what it is ( sometimes) i got to thinking it actually sounds like it may be exhaust related. low and behold the joint between the turbo and the downpipe is blowing!!

right all 3 nuts on the downpipe to turbo needed tightening. still got the droning though.
 im hoping ive also cured a rattling pinking sound at revs, as the washers would be rattling around with the nuts not being tight.
maybe its my mid box baffles, its developed from a drone to a boom and can also here it when stationary and revving! i hate chasing noises! it can get expensive! My 109 thread my youtube channel |

New bits to put on!! Not glamorous but essential!
This is the problem with old cars, all your cash seems to go on boring essential repairs rather than fun mods!!! Click image to enlarge Looks fairly simple swap My 109 thread my youtube channel |

removed manifold to have a look if any of the ports were clean with water, they are not so maybe my head isnt cracked!
cleaned surfaces and replaced gaskets too in the hope of curing droning noise. didn't help. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge My 109 thread my youtube channel |

OS ARB bush slight play 5. engine cover fitted! (none issue) 6. rear passenger seats missing !!! (none issue) 7. hub seals weeping 8. oil leak!!! (obviously its a defender) so all super quick and easy fixes aprt from drop arm ball joint! not bad for 19 years old!! My 109 thread my youtube channel |

If you decide to replace the ball joint insitu invest in the Br*tpart tool . I did ours last time and it makes it easy, typically though it ran out of thread pushing the old upper cup out but a socket over the bolt gave it enough
