soakes94 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So just as I treated myself to a cubby box and a full seat retrim and a raptor dash (It was my Birthday!) I get a new noise from my defender. Its a 1987 CSW with the original LT77 gearbox with a 300TDI from a Discovery. So today on my way to work going down the motorway crusing at a happy 55/60 I get this grating noise I guess is how to descibe it. The speedo which usually has choppy movements (never sits in one place) started to move fluidly between 50-70. I keep going for a while looking for anything obvious but nothing. I push the break and the speed change didnt seem todo much to the noise when I pressed the clutch nothing happened, however I held it in for maybe 5 seconds and then the noise stopped. I pulled over once I was off the motorway and looked for anything obvious but there was nothing. Im guessing its cluth/gearbox/transfer box related? I did try to recreate the noise on the rest of my journey to work but I couldnt. I wasnt able to get upto the same speeds maybe only 40/45 but all sounded fine and the car seems to work like it always has. Any ideas or should I just hope it doesnt happen again and maybe turn the radio up more? Thanks Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Speedo cable or drive-gear would be my first suspicions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
