My last Defender sometimes made a noise like it was "dragging a chain behind it". It wasn't subtle either. It sounded like there was a 10ft length of anchor chain dragging along behind it. Spoke to several LR specialists and nobody had ever heard of the issue. Took a couple of them for a drive and they were baffled by it. Even went as far as having somebody else drive it while I hung out of the back and tried to see underneath. Hard to believe that something so distinct was something nobody had encountered before. Never did find out what it was because somebody kept pestering me to sell it and eventually I gave in and flogged it.
9/10 was the front output wobbling around..I wrote on Discoweb all about this.. AND how to fix all these issues as I have 'tuned' a D1 to 75mph+ smoothly while Lifted.. The factory 30 degree clocked Front driveshaft was also a pretty bad idea LR corrected in the D2's and many people like me put on their D1's
Mm, simple fix. Good. Disco 2's have a harmonic balancer on the rear axle. Perhaps it was fitted to reduce vibration?
@@sleepycatpictures1176 maybe! The d1 had one on the front axle but I removed it, didn’t make any difference in my experience
