2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Stornoway Grey

Clunks

Hey guys,

I recently replaced the rear bottom shock absorber bushes on my 90 because they were dead and causing a big ol' clunk over bumps. That fixed that noise for about three weeks and now a similar noise is back. There is a tiny bit of play in the top bush on one side of the shock absorbers. Could that cause a relatively loud noise inside the car? Or am I looking at investigating the A-frame ball joint as well?

There's also a clunk when I push into 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear (and if at a standstill she'll roll a couple centimetres if the brakes are off and 1st gear selected). Could that be down to UJs or am I looking at a clutch replacement (Having searched the forum it looks like maybe the clutch)?

Despite the problems I still love her

what would life be like if everything were perfect

Thanks very much Geoff

Oh yeah and the brakes are squealing on and off... But how hard can replacing brake pads be
