My k plate defender 90 200tdi runs well enough for an engine with 123000.
I keep it well serviced and had the gear box replaced 12000 miles ago.
When driving in 4th and 5th in particular the engine pulls really well however when the power is feathered in at anything over 45MPH the gear box has a suspicious rattly whine?? With power off and freewheeling - the noise stops- when I apply the slightest power the noise stops? Is this a faulty recon gear box or a landy trademark?? Any advice on how to cure this ??
Please dont misunderstand i dont mind rattles and engine noise but on long journeys this idle rattle / whine gets on your nerves!!
cheers
