Tyres starting to wear unevenly would be my first guess. Try swapping front to back. |

Sounds like the rear prop. Perhaps it was noisy before the t/c rebuild but sound was absorbed by the general wear of the old t/c? I assume that the original or correct replacement mounts have been fit ... |

Whatever you do with the paint, make sure you buy galvanised doors, unless you want to do it all again in twelve months! |

I would, most of the noise comes from underneath - gearbox tunnel, bulkhead and seat boxes would be my priority, followed by the boxes above the back wheels. Any hole or gap will let the sound pass th ... |

My early 110 has a 20l front casing and it's interchangeable with a disco tdi casing, except the later has the brackets for anti roll bars. I only know this because I considered a casing swap on mine ... |
