I don't think it's the belt, I did have problem with a loose retaining bolt on the belt tensioner which I had to helicoil. I'm fairly sure the squeal is from underneath. There is no clucking from take off, infact it's rather smooth as are the gear changes. The clunk is intermittent at best and without warning. The t/box has new oil in it and has no leaks. It's really annoying me now :frusty:
Righty..... I think I'm making some progress!
I've actually been out literally scrutinising the Landy and I have found some issues which I hope may actually be the culprit.
First. There is a small amount of movement in the radius arm bushes when moving it with a pry bar. It's so minimum it may be normal. See video.
Second. The rear offside shock absorber is completely and totally buggered (seriously buggered). See video.
Thirdly. ...and most plausible if not out right dangerous is the front offside shock absorber. I noticed when lying underneath the landy the bush and retaining nut is missing!!!! When pushing on up the chassis you can observe the bottom of the shock absorber literally go up and through the seating plate, in doing so it knocks against the edge!!!!! Sorry no video. Just the image below.
You'll be sure to get a 'clunk' from that.....!!! At least you found that before it parted company.... Good luck with the rest - intermittent noises are the worst. A
