It's that time again after a cracking weekend of Land Rover abuse at Tong, I've picked up a new noise on the Defender...
This time it's a crazy shrieking sound when you put your foot down even slightly. It does it more when it's in gear, but still makes a right noise before then.
It's had a small squeel for a little while now, but thought nowt of it. Until I take a screwdriver to it there's not much I can see, apart from the main belt on the fan smooth and shiny so looks worn (on the side nearest the engine).
I did go through a big smelly pond which was up over the fanny-flaps (forgot to close them too like a tit), but other than that I didn't do anything which would have resulted in a new noise.
Anyone got any ideas on the noise before I go stipping the thing down?
6 months into Landy-ownership and I've realised these fookers are like high maintenance girlfriends - the more sh*t they give you, and the more they cost you, the more you like the things!
