Cheers for the advise, I'll check the other cv joint tonight. Driving into work the noise/ vibration happened whilst the wheels were straight, so I think I could just be a vibration when taking up power when down low in the rev range.

No worries, Not particularly, I change the diff oil every 12/18 months. The off side swivel was changed and runs the lifetime grease but the other still runs ep 80/90. Haven’t checked those since I changed the swivel which was about a couple off years ago. I always thought that if your turning...

I checked them a few weeks back, they seemed fine. It’s weird it’s only happening when turning left.

Something else I forgot to mention, I replaced my front prop shaft with a gywn Lewis one a while back because the ujs were buggered, after I changed it, the noise went completely. It then came back around a month later.

Thanks for the help, I’ve just changed the cv on the off side wheel which is what I suspected was the issue and the noise is STILL there. Could it be something to do with the diff? I’m even more confused about what it could be.

Hi, A grinding noise has developed in the front axle of my defender. I can feel the vibration coming up the propshaft, but it only happens when turning left, low revs and at a speed of around 30-40mph. This leads me to think it could be a cv joint? But really don't know, does anyone have an...

Just did my motorway run, managed to squeeze 420c out of it. Still low but a little relieved with what your findings mick, haven’t touched the pump yet but probably will

I’ll probably leave the boost alone for now, not feeling that confident yet. I’ll do a motorway run today and see what happens

Hi, Only fitted it this weekend so I’ll give them a call Monday, I’ll try a temp probe and see if I get similar results. It’s got a slightly bigger intercooler and the 300tdi turbo but apart from that nothing. No tweaks to the injection pump as far as I’m aware. I’ve got 0.9bar of boost on my...

Hi, Recently I fitted a egt gauge and probe kit from Fourby and seem to be getting inaccurate temp readings. I can only manage to get around 370c on full chat in 5th gear, is this normal? I’ve read on a few forums saying that the max you want is around 700c and that I can’t get anywhere close...

Hi, Hadn't thought of that but I'm not on full lock and it's a highish pitch noise, like an angle grinder. I will check however if it is a simple as a tyre catching. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! Had the problem for a couple of months now and only getting worse. The noise is coming from under the drivers floor/footwell so probably the transfer. I've only noticed the problem when turning left, I've tried to recreate it turning right but to no avail. Thanks

Hi, I've got a 1990 defender 90 with a disco 200tdi with r380. Recently, only when turning left, in third gear and low revs, it creates a horrendous grinding noise. This stops when either pressing the clutch in or letting the throttle off. To make things worse, just did a gear and transfer box...

Hey, I want to reduce my already lifted 90 from a 2-3 inch lift to a 1inch lift. It has +2-3 inch springs, +2 inch damper mounts and +5 inch OME dampers. I would like to change as little as possible and wondered if I could just get away with changing the springs. I’m new to defender modifying...
