Hello everyone!

I have a Discovery 2 with 350000 kms. For some time now I've been noticing a ‘rattling’ noise under the vehicle when I accelerate or declutch! I thought it might be the brake calipers, which may be loose. It's nothing of the sort.

I have the impression that the noise disappears when I accelerate or declutch smoothly.

I have the impression that this clatter is coming from under the vehicle. Play in a drive shaft?

If you have any research to suggest...

Many thanks! Olivier

I would suggest you get underneath and physically check the propshafts.
Even better take them off and check them, do you ever grease them?
Take one off and drive it in diff lock see if the noise is still there.

Does sound like a worn U/J.

Joints on the ends of the propshafts.

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for your help. I'm extremely touched !

As for my place of residence... I juggle between Versailles ( 78 ) and Verneuil-sur-Avre ( 27 ).

So I slipped under my D2 and there's indeed a little play in the double cardan. So I ordered them and will replace them ! I have everything I need in my garage to carry out such a repair. I also noticed that there was no grease nipple on front propshaft body ! ! ! So I put one on and rushed to load up on grease.

I plan to have the repair done next weekend. I'll come back here to keep you posted. And hopefully the noise will be gone !

Another huge thank you to all of you ! It's really nice.
