I think is quite normal in this case, I tried with a Toyota 95 and it make the same "effect"..... due to the "natural" transmission (all transmission) gears play..... you have 1. a gearbox 2. a transfer 3. 2 diffs (gear and pinion) do not compare to a "normal car" Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Almost exactly the same symptoms on my 2008MY 110 from new. Some dealers maintain that you will always get some clunking, but I have driven quite a few TD5 models over the last ten years and two 2009MY TDCi vehicles last year that don't have this problem. Everyone who is travelling in it comments on it and I feel that should I trade it in/sell it next year a prospective dealer/buyer would not be happy with the clunking. Incidentally, I also have some backlash emanating from the rear differential. My dealer is currently awaiting approval from LRUK to replace it under warranty and I hope this finally resolves the issue. Good luck with yours.

Grazie mille per la risposta... Volevo essere sicuro che non e' un problema con il cambio!
Non vorrei rimanere "bloccato" senza macchina in Ungheria o Romania! |

Thanks guys. Just a bit nervous before a big trip East.
I took it on a 1500 mile "shakedown" run to France recently, before the major clunking was fixed, and it ran fine - just popped/clunked along. About two years ago I returned to the UK from Eastern Europe with the missus' Mercedes loaded with part of our belongings (long story), however the auto gearbox started to fail and we ran into blizzards, torrential rain, mud etc. I was concerned that we would break down along the way. We barely made it back to the UK, but ever since then I've been really paranoid about long trips! |

As the noise started to become noticeable, I popped in to the local LR garage. They agreed to look at the truck w/ short notice, and after a few hours of poking around ascertained that it is the drive shaft making the noise.
They're going to swap it out tomorrow. Hopefully this sorts it and doesn't introduce a whole new raft of issues. |

A wee update...
They gave me back the truck last night, as the part was ordered to be fitted today. However somehow the new drive shaft was sent to another location, so no/go. The good news is that they managed to take a lot of the backlash out. When I picked it up last night, it was like driving a different Defender. The mechanic said that he adjusted the flange clearance in the rear diff, and this took out the major "pop" sound that I'd been hearing. The drive shaft still needs to be replaced, however they reckon it is still usable, however better to be replaced in the near future. I don't know why it took me 3 different visits to three different dealers for someone to finally hear that popping sound and correctly (or partially) diagnose the issue. The first lot tried to tell me all the noise was characteristic of the marque, the second lot almost got it right. I hope that third time is the charm (fingers crossed to avoid jinxing). |

Good going mate - mine's going in tomorrow to address the rattle, gearbox crunch on 2nd-3rd, and the hesitation. Over the phone the service tech said that the hesitation sounded like EGR (positive start), and the rattle sounded like TC freeplay - we shall see. I have asked them to check clutch, diffs and handbrakes too - hopefully will be action  but have put it all in writing and documented all calls....
Let us all know how you go - I'll do same. Gav Gavster 2010 Puma 110 |

So... brought the 110 to the dealer in order for them to replace the rear propshaft. I also pointed out to them that several other issues appeared during our trip to Eastern Europe, namely a small leak appeared at the bottom of the gearbox (transfer gears) and the left side rear passenger door wouldn't open.
They sorted the above out. They replaced the propshaft, , plus replaced the splines (?) in the rear diff as they said the original ones were worn, sorted the gearbox leak, stuck door and applied a software update. Result? A much quieter 110. Not only does it hardly clunk (only audible clunk is when I don't time my shifts right and let up too quickly on the clutch which happens to me on a smaller car as well), but the air intake no longer roars after long runs down the motorway. After several hours on the autobahn, it would roar like a MiG 21 as we pulled into the rest stops, even going 5mph. It no longer does this. The clutch pedal still squeaks and pops, but the clutch itself is sound. Fair play to the dealer, their service was excellent. The car was washed (and waxed!?!?!) both times I picked it up. |
