Agreed, but I've checked and re-checked the exhaust system mate. My latest theory is possibly the bearing mounts on the vcu. It's a big chunk of spinning weight and is on rubber mounts, which on inspection seem quite soft and movable, so I'm thinking of fixing up a web cam under the car to try...

Hmm, thanks for the help chaps, but I'm not convinced, the bumping just doesn't seem to be that sort of suspension noise, sounds like something far more solid, I can feel it as well as hear it, almost like someone hitting the floor pan with a lump hammer, and I'm sure it's not from the front...

Thanks chaps. I'm pretty sure it's not the exhaust or the cv's, it's definately something hitting the chassis, just really difficult making it do it without actually driving. Engine mounts are a possibility I suppose, I'll look into them, though it does seem to be mid or rearward rather than...

My advice? don't bother. I've seldom owned a vehicle before that has more buzzes, rattles, bumps, and generally annoying niggles that are b*****ds to track down and cure than a freelander. As someone once said on here "buy a Toyota, they never go wrong". Maybe a slight overstatement, but I get...

OK, here we go again. This has been going on for a while now, and I buggered if I can track it down. When I am turning into a tight right hand junction and drop into second gear then proceed into the turn I get this damn annoying bump bump bump bump in quick succession, I can feel it under my...

Fuel filter maybe? sounds a bit like fuel starvation.

Have a look at my website for more info.

Filled up to the neck 450miles to well into the warning light. and that's on my biodiesel :D

NO!!!:eek: Especially not used engine oil, which will be full of metallic particles and will probably f@@k up your injection system especially common rail, which can be fussy and bloody expensive to replace. IMHO.

Freelaner, your avatar is putting me off reading the thread. Back in a while, I just have to go upstairs for 10 minutes. :lvhappy-003:

Could it be your cv joint? they sometimes make strange noises when worn.

Just to clarify weights. If it dropped on you it would certainly feel like two tonnes, so be carefull. VEHICLE WEIGHTS NOTE: Axle weights are non additive; ie Maximum gross vehicle weight is not calculated by adding together maximum front and rear axle loads.The individual maximum axle...

Yeh, it is. Damn annoying but it'll probably go on for ages before it fails.

Strewth! this is a far more common problem than I thought. I've had hundreds of hits on my website regarding this issue. Bosch do seem to have a problem with o-ring seals, I had the same issue with a Bosch pressure washer, it was always bursting seals. Anyway there's plenty of info on my site so...

Yeh, plenty of pics, My thrust bearing may need to be changed soon. Cheers.

I have the same thing on mine, I just assumed it was the shocker hitting it's limit stop. My old ford focus had the same clunk if I went over a speed bump at the wrong speed. Although I've also noticed with the TD4, that if I go over them faster it doesn't do it.

General grabber UHP's. Still waiting to try them in the snow. Maybe soon I'll get the chance eh? :hysterically_laughi

If you think that's the worst bit of design ever, just wait till you have to change the rear wheel arch fuel filter. WTF!!! :frusty:

I make my own so NA NA NA NA NA!:pound:

Cheers Teddywood1. Maybe it is just a fluke, if not I don't think there's anything I can do about anyway. I'll just have to make sure I don't do it again. :o
