Not 100% sure at the moment but would appear the intermittent clatter I get when turning off does no happen if transfer box is in neutral - any thoughts (other than more therapy
 )? |

I'll agree there's lots of noises generally from a Deafeners drive line but would dispute a clatter being normal when turning off.
What sort of clatter Caterham? Is it the sound of loose metal bits banging together or something clutch wise or deep inside the engine.....

Pretty damn sure it's no engine. Had the clutch rattle and don't think it's that....I'm inclined to think it's transfer box or linkages?

Why do you need to put the transfer box in neutral before switching off in the first place? You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

^^Because it's Caterham in the endless pursuit of perfection Eric! He never has grasped the concept it's a 'warts 'n' all' type vehicle.
Did you take your meds today Caterham or forgot to pick up your prescription? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Got the prescription ...chemist is shut
Eric. Don't need to put it into neutral but trying understand where clatter and wobble is coming from so trying different things. ? oh and forgot to ask K9F - I presume the oil coming out the transfer box onto the handbrake drum is normal too  |

Check the transfer box oil level and if that is ok may I respectfully suggest you strip the entire vehicle down into its many component parts and once you've done that skip the lot.

I did top it up last night. Haven't needed to use it today so not sure if it's made a blind bit of difference - doubt it tho as it didn't need that much topping up. 
don't want to disappoint so will keep you posted. |

Maybe you just need to hold your head very still from now on then all those loose screws of yours won't rattle about so much. Steve.

Caterham. Don't take any notice of those awful people having a laugh at your expence. Just do as was recommended to a friend whose Td5 Disco
itself recently...... "Buy a Pajero and never have to put up with these things happening again....ever".
That was from a mechanic who was a whizz with Landies and a lot of us used to get him to fix the things. AlanH. PS. Actually that's not a bad idea..... now where's those Pajeros on that carsales.com site.  |

thanks AlanH......who's side are you on
well no idea if it's coincidence or not but ran beautifully this morning. there is one issue tho. I always leave cars in gear when parked up. can't get it back into gear (transfer box that is) after turning off. ? something else I noticed with engine off and main box in neutral if I move the lever to the left there's what seems to be a very slight metal to metal feeling, do it a second time it feels more like metal on nylon (more like you'd expect). no do it to the right the same initially feels like metal on metal but not on successive movements to the right. back to the left and same as above. could this metal on metal feeling be whats causing the clattering? I think knowing it CAN run beautifully is whats keeping me going  |
