Any Ideas about this?

Defender 90. recenly starts to squeak (like bad brakes but quieter) on acceleration in any gear. Stops if you ease off the gas. When coming to a stop (clutch down) a strange mettalic tinkling which gets slower as the car slows and stops when the car does.

Looked around underneath. No obvious stuff!

any help appreciated.
 
If U/J not the problem (unlikely) then check the pads on the park break - Sounds as if the shoes could have worn away (maybe not adjusted right previously) and now the rivits are rubbing againt the drum - thats what the one on my replacment transfer box was like so kept the old one

If the shoes are adjusted correclty the shoes will never get worn away (unlike a car) as they never get used to actualy slow the car down (unless your mad):D - (don't try this)
 
Thanks everone, It was a U/J. Absolutely shot to bits. Surprised it didnt make more noise. Quick cheap fix. Well happy.
