Well after buying the defender 2000 miles ago and having the clutch replaced 1000 miles ago, I was on my way into work this morning and something happening from underneath such that the vehicle now Judders, and doesnt drive smoothly, and from underneath is a cacophony of metal on metal, metal rotating and other sounds I have no idea how to diagnose. All gears still select, as well as hi and low and I believe diff lock seems to be engaging okay too. This makes me think it's a problem with the props or drive.
I've reversed a short distance down the road and into a pub car park and the noises worsened especially when turning the steering wheel.
Having looked underneath, the props are still attached, look find and are relatively new. I haven't had a good look at the UJs but I greased and inspected them 1000 miles ago they looked okay then. There was some oil on the underside of the transmission.
I'm hoping its a simple UJ has gone, but expecting to find that the gearbox or diff is goosed.
Any ideas?
