Hi

Bought a defender in the last week, and when it gets above about 50mph a humming noise comes from the front right of the landy. It sounds like when you blow into a beer bottle and you get that resonating noise. Could this be my wheel bearing or snorkel? Im just guessing... Im slightly new to landys.

thanks

Is your snorkel made from beer bottles?

Surely he'd notice that before he hits warp factor 8.

Are the tyres in contact with the tarmac?

check its fitted correctly as it may be it vibrating, barring that it might just be the noise it makes as it cuts through the air

Road noise from chunky tyres - does it have ATs or MTs fitted?

No roof rack. Big chuncky tyres but I would have thought that it if it was the tyres it would get louder the faster I go but it only happens at 50+

I recall on my old 90 with snorkel i got a low humming noise, I put it down to the air being sucked in as it got a bit louder when the turbo kicked in. Try disconnecting the tube that runs from the snokel to the air filter and see if it sounds different?
