Hi All So, driving home from a week away in my 08 110, throughout the week when driving each time I set off I would hear a "pinging" sound and so thought right when I get back take a look at both prop shafts for damage wear etc. Whilst driving along one day with the window open when going round right hand bends I could hear a definite "tinging" sound, again put it down to prop shafts. Drove home last night and pulling into the road (300m from home) turning right there was a sound I can only describe as similar to if you missed a gear or the it jumped out of gear. I carried on a a short distance with this sound, managed to reverse onto my drive - by this time the sound had stopped. Did some checks on the TB H/L drive all seems OK. So am a bit stuck as to what it could be, am thinking maybe rear drive shaft has given up the ghost or ?? Any ideas ?? Cheers Jon.

So I guess as long as I don't exceed the axle weight on the rear axle (additional 150kgs) I should be OK ?

Ok thanks, will now put them on ebay. I have some steel rims (not the original steels) which I took off a 90 I had will they be insufficient weight wise. Afraid I do not know what they are and I doubt they will have a max weight figure inside the wheel. Cheers.

Hi Thanks for the prompt response. Each wheel says max load 850 Kgs - with there being 4 of them I guess the max weight is 3.4 Ton - right ?

Hi there, First post on this forum, tried to look for an answer before posting and could not find one. I have bought some Discovery Freestyle alloy wheels to fit onto my 2008 Defender 110 but have read that they cannot be fitted due to their weight capacity per wheel is not sufficient. I have spoken to a LR parts supplier who said they will be OK but have read that they are not is that correct ? Cheers
