it doesn't. I think when the mechanics re-assembled the front axle they must have put everything back to 'normal' settings, including the lock stop.

erm. ok. considering my DIY skills are mostly restricted to connecting my DvD to the TV, this can't possibly go wrong anyone have any pics perhaps?

hmm, could be. If it is that, how easy will it be to fix it myself?

Hi isborn sounds a lot like what I was experiencing, although mine was at 60kmh, irrespective of gear or rpms. You will need to replace the front propshaft, that should sort it out. If you have lifted the suspension then you might have to go for a Disco2 propshaft because of the steeper angle on the propshaft.

one of the most common Defender mods here in SA is to rubberize the entire interior floor. It insulates the noise and heat from the gearbox somewhat, but mostly, it allows you to cross muddy rivers and afterwards just hose the interior down for a clean cabin most people go for a professional job such as Rhino Linings, while others do a DIY job usually with something like Durabak.

Hi all! I'm new here and hoping someone will be able to help me out with this problem on my 2005 defender 110 Td5 double-cab. The story thus far: I bought my landy in Feb 2008, it had already been modified extensively by the previous owner: Dastek ECU Chip, OME Suspension, Snorkel, LR Tank, H2O tank, Dual Battery system with power outlets all over the place, IPF Spotlights, Bucket Seats, Bull Bar, Roll Bars, Sump Guard, Fuel Tank Guard, Lockable Canopy, etc. When I took delivery, there was a grinding noise from the front axle when turning full-lock, because the tyres were too big - 285 BFG AT's and rubbing against the suspension arm, so I changed them to 265 ones and that was solved. Went off-road a couple of months ago, and on the way back this grinding noise started coming from the front axle at 60kmh only, under drive or coast. I took it to a defender specialist who took apart the entire drivetrain, until he found that the OME lift of 75mm was above LR specs, and the front propshaft's angle was too steep. So he replaced the front propshaft with a double cardan one, reset the diff settings which were a bit off, re-oiled & re-greased everything. The landy now runs super smoothly, and feels like a new one all the way to 120kmh. BUT, the tyre grinding noise has returned when turning at full-lock!? Why is this happening again, the tyres are the same! Can anyone shed some light on this for me please? I've attached some pics of the new propshaft & front right suspension. Thanks Naks
