    Loud cracking noise - rotational with rev's

    Exactly what I needed, I'd once again be scratching my head without this forum :) I'll attempt this over next coming few days because of work I'm not around the truck - I don't use it to go to work though so i'm not just driving it anyway. While that happens, can you advise on the correct...

    Loud cracking noise - rotational with rev's

    So engine is OK to start temporary with the belt off? Forgot to ask that in the first post as that'll make it easier to tell. Cheers, Mark.

    Loud cracking noise - rotational with rev's

    Howdy! 300TDI sounds like death! I've got a cracking noise rather than a clicking noise. The cracking is louder than the engine if that makes any sense so can be heard when stood well away from the engine. The cracking sounds metallic, like a crushed bearing rotating and I'm hoping its...

    Damnit! I've got the worlds largest can of tetrosyl underseal as well just waiting for the day it'll get used on something! I remember buying it before as it dries hard rather than staying sticky - i dont like stained dogs. I guess that'll be worth its weight for doing all the other bits...

    Ahh indeed sorry if i made it sound like i was just going to paint the truck and leave it! I have more pics to post. Reason for wanting the paint colour is so i habe some ready mixed on the shelf for when the spanners come out. For example if im going to underseal the chassis afrer wire brush...

    First thing is have one of you lovely members tell me what colour it is as the local paint shop doesnt have a code to match and plate in bay is blank. There is a secret code to get into the truck which consists of crossing certain fingers and swearing at it in an organised yet firm manner with...

    Ryan's 1986 Defender 90

    I like the fresh shiny jobs! I wouldn't say go take a fresh paint job and 'rat' it up but when they are already 'rat' from years of use you can't replicate that easily by taking a fresh one and making it look 'rat'. Hopefully that makes more sense! I'm not saying going and destroy a new paint...

    Looks good! I may be one of the select few who actually liked the 'look' of it as is, shows some history and just makes it look like a bad ass truck!

    Great stuff, to be honest ive not checked the condition for wear.. just went with the complete opposite approach to closing the door then i do in any car ive had.. Slam it! Really grinds my cogs when people slam my door to shut it but i guess i'll be getting used to that! I'll fettle as required...

    So this post is useless without pics right? (Sent more to upload but not come through yet) I don't want to ruin the surprise but your thoughts on these pics would be good. How would you go about dealing with the surface accumulation? Anything look alarming?
