BOING Noise !!

Basically describes the noise I'm getting at crawling speeds from the bulkhead pedal box type area !
My mrs has told our 4 year old it's a mouse on a diving board !
Which he thinks is hilarious I on the other hand am not so joyous of the thought my TC or abs is

!

Has any one else had this ? DEFENDER XS CSW 08 TONGA GREEN

I also had the boing noise a couple of times in my old TD5, and likewise with my almost new Tdci - stopping smartly at very low speed seemed to do it, but i can't recreate the conditions. As you say, from the pedal area of the bulkhead, but only very occasional 1953 80

not sure if we're talking about the same thing here but yesterday I had a bong sort of noise (mechanically gerated not like a diliberate electronic sounder) which I believe was a result of the traction control operating?

I too had this boing noise - And I too thought it might be the ABS modulator, then I considered the front suspension springs may have reseated off centre - but then a week later I found, under the clutch pedal on my rubber floor mat, 2 grease covered grey plastic parts. I didn't know what they were - took them to the dealer.

They refitted these clips - they go under the springs on the clutch pedal.

The boing noise has gone.

I get the same boing sound when traction control comes on, it is very noticeable at slow speeds and can still be heard at high revs but is less obvious.

I would love to know what it is caused by as it sounds like a spring sound, to me.
