Drive line noises
I know this is always a difficult one...but whats "normal" and what should you be concerned about?

Im thinking whines, clocks and knocks.

Since the engine update was applied I can hear more - then remembered its a defender and not a quiet as the disco or freelander...but, when is it prudent to flag it not to be told "they all do it" Mike

Hi MSE,

Same experience as you. Since re-map I can hear every knock, clunk and whine and am becoming paranoic. In addition I have just replaced the wheels for a new set of boost alloys with Grabber 235x85x16. I think I will resort to a pair of ear defenders, it has the added advantage that I can no longer hear the wife nagging me as to why I traded in my Merc ML270.

Hi mse
The only clunk i get is when changing up a gear and only when im not quite going fast enough for the next gear, usually going into sixth. Otherwise mines clunk free. I have got the rear diff whine when decelerating from above 80kmph.
If it annoys you often enough take it to the dealer. 130 crew cab

I have a slight clunk on take up and a whine at motorway speeds.

It being quieter im certainly noticing more, if the whine was there i hadnt heard it before...the clunk i think may have happened before; the new clutch and selector removed most to all the noises...but this update certainly makes more noticable! Mike

Every Land Rover I have owned (nine to date) has had a clunk on power take up, the older and more worn it was the louder the clunk

I have therefore assumed it was normal Very Happy MAD COW
