our Def has now 4500km on the clock and I've experienced some strange noise coming from the gearbox (I assume): normal sound is smooth and low frequency at 1500-2000 rpm. But at once, it's getting some high pitch kind of sound especially when reaching 2000 rpm and higher. It's some kind of vibration or resonance in the gearbox....
Gear box is well engaged in the high gear range. I found that the problem can be solved for some time by changing the gear in the low range, driving a short while, reversing and swithing back in high gear range.... Problem solved, smooth sound back! Anyone who has experienced the same? Any ideas or suggestions. We still have plenty of warranty period and I asked the dealer to inform me on this issue.... puma 2.2 MY2013 [:O]===[O:] |

Have you thought of the gearstick vibration issue which is pretty typical for a Puma at the revs you mention? Take a look at below thread, hopefully it is as simple and innocent as that.
Eric http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic27350....+vibration You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

The gearstick issue is a possibility, but is the vibration continuous or just occurring now and then? My buzzing sound isn't there for several weeks, shows up (I think only after a bumpy ride) and the switching to low gears for a while solves the problem... For the next couple or more weeks.
I had an e-mail from the dealer today to propose to have the car checked. I'll let them have a look at it and hopefully they will be able to come up with a solution, allthough I doubt they will find anything if the problem does not show up. puma 2.2 MY2013 [:O]===[O:] |

I now had the same issue twice in the last month. Today I also noticed that, when it occurs, I seem to have more power...: I was cruising at 80km/h, everything normal. Then at once, the engine noise changed and I got this 'metallic' sound again. At the same moment, the engine seemed to give more power which slightly increased the speed. Pulling back the throttle and keeping the revs constant helped to get this noise disappearing quite easily. Nothing abnormal afterwards anymore, even driving on the motorway at 110km/hr and reached home after 20km.
Air intake issue?? Anyone experienced this? puma 2.2 MY2013
