Morning.
My TD5 Disco 2 has developed a loud thud / knocking when i turn.
It first started happening only when turning right and was after i'd done a bit of heavy towing on the road. I thought it might therefore be suspension related, but having given everything a good pull last night everything seems solid - only thing i found was the exhaust rubber mount was slightly off and the exhaust tip could hit the plastic body - so i put that back correctly, but still get the knocking. The suspension, shocks, arms, etc. all seemed very solid and in place.
It sounds like it is coming from the rear - but noises can be desceptive when driving.
It started doing this Monday or Tuesday - it's now doing it when i turn left too.
It's ok with a gentle turn at any speed, but a harsher turn (roundabouts, etc.) you get the knock / bang (anything above 20ish - won't do it in a car park turning sharply into a parking space) Its definetly louder on the right though.
It sounds like something is moving and hitting something. You get the feeling of something hitting something when the bang sounds (that kind of subtle vibration)
Did a quick search - found a thread about a 300tdi doing it - but the thread kinda fizzled out with no real solution / diagnosis.
Not really done much off roading in it - though i was using low range a bit on Monday when towing a friends series on/off trailer + across some grass
