Hi All,

My Defender TD5 has started making a noise when I engage the clutch and backing it out of the garage, as soon as I have done this it stops. It only seems to happen after it has been standing over night.

The noise is a kind of whining and only happens when I am lifting my foot off the clutch.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks,

GP
