Mine groans too. Always has. Even my old 200Tdi Discovery had the same groan, so I would say its part of the Land Rover ownership experience!
So long as it works, has no big leaks and nothing is obviously wrong, I would ignore it. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy 1968 S2a 88 aka Bob 2014 Jaaaag F Type 3.0 Supercharged. |

Another one to consider is the steering damper. The steering was moaning like hell and had (very slowly) been getting worse over the last 12 months.
I noted last week that the steering damper was leaking and when I changed it the groaning / moaning was virtually gone. Must have been the knackered seals in the damper making the noise. Dave |
