There's a few bits on the dash that aren't used, seat belt light being one of them

The clunk is probably caused by the fact that its a Land Rover, they do that!

Remember the instrument panel came from the Disco 3, and as a result there are many lights and things that are not used on the Defender.

While we're talking dashboards, when I indicate (2011 110XS) there's a little round light that illuminates at the bottom right of the warning light cluster. It looks like an image of a trailer but I don't understand why you'd have a trailer warning light and what it'd tell you.
What's it trying to tell me? |

It illuminates when you have a trailer connected and you indicate, tells you trailer indicators are working

Mine flashes once really quick when indicating, and only started doing it when i had hooked a trailer up (when it was hooked up it flashes all the time when indicating). I thought it was an aide-memoir. like oh!! dumb ass don't forget i am here!!! if you catch my drift..  |

I thought it might have been a "remember the trailer, idiot" light, even when there's no trailer hooked up ('haha, who's the idiot now' I'd think each time). But I think "trailer indicators working" is a better answer.
Thanks. |

It's normal for the trailer indicator to light up once when indicating when no trailer is connected. If there is a trailer connected it will keep on flashing with the normal indicator lights. |

IMHO though it does beg the question as to why it flashes even once. Surely the logical way would be no trailer no light at all. Trailer connected light on.. On the flip side though I guess it does show that it is working so maybe that is the reason. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

Maybe it does it to detect the presence of a trailer? I don't know. My Puma does it, and my TD5 also did it. |

It does it to let you know that the electrics to the trailer socket are in working order as far as I remember.

I also had the (klunk) of death - but I finally traced it to the A-Arm ball joint that connects the diff to the chassis. that's why it sounds like it's coming from the rear somewhere. Got LR to fix it under waranty. Now it's gone
