Really strange noise has developed on the 03 plate 90 td5- when taking a left hand bend at anything over around 20mph- there is a metallic grinding noise! i think its coming from the rear but very hard to tell- when going straight/right hand bends all is normal- it also only does theis when moving at a reasonable speed ie 20mph plus. I put new cv joints in the front about 6 weeks ago but cant imagine this is causing the issue as it would surely make the noise at slow speed?
Can anyone point me in the best place to start investigations?
Going to order some main bearing shells was thinking from turners- does anyone have any advise on this job- never done it before- i have a knock who9ch im not happy with so as im stripping bits off i may as well replace with new! Whilst i have the sumpoff i will check the oil pump bolt - anything else to check/replace? Thanks in advance
britpart supply decent swivel housing grease....which now come with little tubes to insert into swivel housing- a marked improvement! cant think of anything else mind!
My 2003 defender td5 has become really "tappy", only when the throttle is applied. On over run/idle it sounds sweet- very quiet, as soon as the throttle is pressed (tinyest amount) it taps. I have changed the injector seals/washer s but no difference! its becoming really annoying hear it most at low revs, seems to dissapear as revs rise (prob as drowned out!) Can anyone advise?
on the front window of my previous and current 90, the little black window guide half way up the window (prevents the window travelling too far out) has broken off. Anyone know the part number/name for these?
Have a noisey cv joint on the near side front of our 03 td5 90 (no abs)- firstly are the joitns the same os the 300's? 2ndly can anyone recommend where to purchase a new joint from?
Thanks in advance!
