2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Clunk, ping, boing...

I dropped off the 110 at a main dealer not too far away to have some warranty work done. To my surprise, the service reception manager arranged for a mechanic to come with me on a ride, to hear the noise.

The mechanic was very attentive, asked me if I could reproduce it and agreed that he could hear a variety of somewhat unusual noises. Upon return to the dealer, he mentioned this to the service manager and he duly wrote it down.

I got a Freelander in the meantime, which is quite a change from the 110.

Regardless of the outcome, it is nice to know that I wasn't imagining the noises, and that someone from the dealer actually took me seriously.

Sounds like a pop song... no, actually those are the sounds the 110 makes as you put it into gear and drive away.

Are you sure you drove a Defender? I get Bings and boing from my D3 but no Clunks. My Defender has Clunks. Roel

Maybe will be a good idea to have a "noises dictionary" to have a reference of how a bing, rattle-rattle, Clunk, Clonk, boing, put-put, clang, hiiii, rrrrr, cri-cri among others "noises" should sound.

Cheers! Eduardo

Picked up the truck yesterday, it is scheduled to come in again in a few weeks, as there is a bit of work to be done.

According to LR, there is some play in the pinion up front (?), and a clearance issue with the nearside half-shaft .

They've also got to swap out the rear step, as it is rusting already and replace the isolator foam on the doors. The clutch pedal spring has also corroded (?!?!), and will be replaced. It squeaks like an angry mouse and drives me up the wall, so good that it is going.

Rusted clutch spring probably from break fluid from clutch master cylinder dripping onto same spring
