I’ll have a look. Busy uploading a video to YouTube with the sound I recorded earlier. Hopefully that will help - I certainly have no idea!!!

It’s like a whining “metally” sound - could be “crunky” I guess.

I agree - no idea how it could be anything to do with the front side shock. I think they've ripped me off...

It's back!!!! I'm noticing its when I'm turning slight or fully right now though and it seems to go away once the oil /engine is warmed up?

Thanks, still struggling with it though...seems to be holding fast.

Thanks I’ll try that

That would help... !! It's the two cross member to body mount bolts on the right hand side (just below the rear brake light)

Hoping to be fully self taught mechanic by the time this Land Rover decides to play nice HAHA!!! New defender owner, learning the hard way..

Hello, another day and yet another 'quick project' that isn't quick haha!! I'm trying to install a spare wheel carrier and have to remove two bolts. Seemed simple enough... I tried every trick in the book (That I know) and failed, then asked the garage who had my Landy in for something else...

Apparently they did... they even disconnected the drive shaft, prop 'etc'..... cost me a fortune!!! but sound is gone now (although there was a loud once off knock sound this am but hoping that was just a big stone or something!!!)

UPDATE: Apparently it had something to do with calipers, pads repair and a turret-fit shock N/S/F ???? That's what is says on the invoice...

Haven’t taken note of any smells but occasionally I have smelt a slight burning smell but figured it was from the wood fires in peoples homes now that it’s gotten colder. It could definitely be that - I’ll have a look - thank you.

I’ll give that a go, thank you.

Thanks for the advise - much appreciated

Thanks for all the advise I'll keep you all posted ;)

Silly question but if it's either of those problems... would it be ok to drive to a mechanic.... closest one I can get to is about a 5min drive but not sure they work on Landys, and I know if another guy who doesn't specializes in them but has worked on some about 15mins away. Or should I get a...

Thanks

Universal Joint?...

UJ?

its not happening constantly (it comes and goes) - and no difference if turning etc...
