Hello, hope everyone is keeping safe :)
I recently had a new steering box fitted and everything was great! But took the defender for a spin yesterday and now the steering is doing this... (watch video with sound). Any advice on what could be the problem? I don't want to risk more damage but something definitely doesn't feel or sound right. It's fine in a straight line but as I turn the wheel it feel 'rough'.

 
Separate the steering UJ from box and check whether steering box, upper column or steering joint restriction. Did you check/replace the upper column rubber sleeve - could this have moved causing restriction?
 
Try taking off the plastic surround around the ignition barrel/light stalk. There's foam in there that can rub and make those sort of sounds. Might they have had that cover off?
