Your VCU is not seized.

Do a :search:around here and you'll find all manner of hints and tips about the somewhat vague noises you describe.

Mine was making all kinds of weird noises after a recent greenlaning trip; removal of stones and other debris from brakes and steering gear removed most of them

It's easy to get paranoid about noises, just carry on doing the basic diagnosis you've started and you'll either find the cause :doh:; something will break more obviously ; or the noise will go away .

Driver could be heard muttering at the various bangs and crashes as mud fell off the back - sounds awful.

Cleared the sump "guard" and fixed it (one side had broken off) - had half of Hampshire behind it

Just have one crawnching sound to track down now...
