300TDI Clunk only with diff lock engaged and driving.

Hi
1998 Disco 300tdi auto box
Just been to Abingdon 4x4 and came away with a clunk.
Only happens when i have diflock low range engaged and driving off. not there all the time seems to happen going up and down lumps.
Drove it home normal with no clunks.
Some one said it was probably the CV joint but that would surely be there all the time.
Any Ideas please.
Also ABS sensor wont go out after i have reversed out of the drive. OK if i restart and drive forward.
Thanks

crazymac:
The ones to check are the a frame ball joint, steering joints etc, but I would have thought that they would be MORE obvious in high?

Len, you're in the same town as me.

My Discos have ALWAYS clunked in low box.  Are you sure it's anything unusual?

Re your reversing problem, check your ABS sensors, maybe one has got caught by a bit of dirt and is getting knocked when you're in reverse.

Lugslandrovers:
Thanks Guys
But the sound is more like a snapping twang and only in low diff lock when moving. not changing gear as it happens when manual 1,2,3 gears selected.
Not the usual clunk that all suffer from when changing gear etc.

ABS sensor can i take it out and clean it with out upsetting the programming?.

thermidorthelobster is T-total  :lol:

He does have a nice new NANOCOM though  :wink:

As for you clunk... :? I would take it back to Abingdon 4x4 & ask them to sort...at least call them & log the fault with them.
