I know it's not the heat shield, I've repaired that allready. The rattle is there only on roughish roads and whilst moving. It's not the brakepads, still rattles under light and heavy braking. I've replaced the suspension bushes, new shock absorbers, nothing seems to be falling off so in the words of Toyah; it's a mystery!

Fitted a new bilstein steering damper hoping it tames the steering a bit!!
Next on the list would be a steering box so thought I would try the cheaper option first. I've also got an intermittent rattle, very annoying, seems to be behind the dash on the l/h side so might be the wiper motor, but very difficult to pin point when driving. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |

Could be the bonnet hinge, mine did that and i would swear it was coming from inside but it was the hinge. i wrapped the bush with a little tape which got rid of the noise, i will be ordering some heavy duty hinges soon. Pete. |

Same here as per post on last page
 with the bonnet closed try banging your fist on the top of the bonnet near the hinge and if it rattles replace the bushes and check the sealer between the bonnet skin and frame for splits and replace as necessary |

That's a neat way of storing fishing roads. What screen have you used? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge  you've got to be pleased with almost 7500 responses on this post you started.
anyway, what software are you running on that screen? I use google maps on my xda flint for navigation but wouldn't mind looking at a better alternative. I don't want a voice telling when to turn left or when to indicate etc, just a good map. are you running that screen from the Toughbook? |
