Strange "boing" noise when turning/ releasing clut

I have recently developed a strange "boing " noise when turning in my 2007 puma defender 90.
Sounds a bit like the noise we used to make at school with a wooden ruler on the end of a desk..
And thoughts? "Of Course, Of course, I ain't asking . I'm telling!!"

I have the same, it is the Traction Control apparently (when mine makes the noise about 20% of the time the TC light comes on). Still looking for a fix, I read mention of reseating the ABS sensors to clear the noise. There was some other threads on it..

Do you have a RTC steering damper fitted? Mine does it and it's the spring moving, i cant for the life of me figure a way to stop it unwinding itself!

Mine was doing that about 3 years ago. It turned out to be a broken coil spring - two in fact. Both of the front ones

Nope, it is definately a noise from behind the dash from the ABS unit in my case

It is the random , indescribable noises that give the Defender it's character

Did anyone find a reason/fix for this? I think I am suffering the same thing, am I doing any further damage to the truck ?

I have a 2008, is it only a "feature" on the 2.4s or has anybody had it on the 2.2s?
