Loud snapping noise occasionally
Has anyone else experienced this.
Occasionally, for no apparant reason i get a loud snapping noise from the rear of my 110 sw. It sounds like a large pebble hitting the door glass. Ive had it about 6 times over a year of owning this 110.
I also used to get this with a td5 90. I'm pretty sure its related to the rear cab/back/roof joint flexing in windy conditions.

It's driving me mad and certainly makes you jump when it happens ! Sad

P.s it's not a disgruntled or jealous neighbour !!

Could just be a pebble stuck in the tyre being fired into the wheel arch.

Makes a hell of a bang, especially if you have mud tyres as they hold bigger pebbles Shocked

Could well be, never thought of that, they are fairly chunky. It's not undersealed yet either !

I get the same loud bang from stones flying up from underneath.
Didn't get it with my td5 because it had carpets and it dampened the noise.
But these new ones with no carpets puts the willies up me when it goes bang Rolling with laughter
