Buy cheap buy twice, it's a false economy in the long run because you spend more time under the vehicle when you could be earning

 

The quality on some of this far east stuff is dire

Rich, i had the same on my 130, changed the drive flanges, aframe ball joint, prop ujs, all lessened the nock, then new rear diff (found a bargin in a garage) really helped, next to change was the gearbox layshaft (i think) but sold it first

 

Theres so many parts that if all slightly worn, will make a big amount of play. mine was mainly from worn rear parts-found this by removing the front prof, driving in difflock, still big symptoms, removed rear prop, in difflock, not so bad

 

hope this helps

My clunk was caused by the ball joints on the anti roll bar. Replaced those and the clunk has all but disappeared. Much more stable when towing as well.

While we are on the subject.. Mine clunks as I walk towards it, as I open the door, then again when I close it, then again as I slam it. :lol:Anyone got a pair of hens teeth, I mean underpriced solid defender doors?

So it happens when you get in then it doesn't start so you slam the door getting out and start bashing it with a stick like basil????

 

All these things to check, I did say I would check in the evening but didn't think I would spend all night checking.

One of our countryside landrovers they tried to pinch, but due to needing a special key fob they couldn't start it so burnt it out instead.

Don't even go there on brakes. Mine was a real pig. First it wouldnt hold the pressure. Then it held pressure but binding, so adjusted them as per manual, no pressure. So re adjusted, binding. Took several days work to get them to a stage that they would work, but they would bind on when got hot and make a rattling noise at speed. Took me ages to get them right.

 

Worst brake system ever IMO
