300TDI Clunk only with diff lock engaged and driving.

Lugslandrovers:
Thanks
But Abingdon 4x4 was actually an off road event .Not a garage. It happened whilst i was getting muddy doing what all land rovers are supposed to do.

Shot in the dark here - you sure it's not a coil spring relocating ?, I can't explain why it only happens in low-diff lock, but coils do make that sort of noise you describe.

Lugslandrovers:
Hi
Could be the springs but they have not been lifted although i think they and the shocks are about had it.  Job for me in the next two weeks.
Just took it for a short drive in low diff lock and guess what the noise is not now there. Suppose i will have to leave it until i am doing the 2"lift and have a good look with a crow bar.

yes i think you should go and ask the big bomb hole why it is clunking  8)

haha silly billy  :roll:  :lol:

boss:
first thing that springs to mind is "transmission wind up".(stopp me if im wrong) the idea of fitting a centre diff is so the car can tirn around corners as the front and rear wheels spin at different rates while turning(because the circumfrance of the front wheels is greater than the rear while turning).
the obvious problem with this is that while offroad the centre diff will distributr power between the axels differentley which isnt what you need(bare with me im not trying to teach you something you alredy know) so the centre difflock is imployed which negates the original application off the centre diff, so if you were to turn a corner with the diff lock in the forces applyed on your running gear are enormous, usually what happens things will twist a little then work its self out while spinning in mud ect.worst case scenario this could snap half shafts, cvs, propshafts, ujs, kill your gear box or your centre diff. it doesnt usually happen in discos more in the series models but i would say thats what happend. did you turn on tarmac atall?
