Apologies. I missed that for some reason...

That twang is usually associated with pinion drive flange not being tight enough. If it was loosened a little it wouldn't do it and if it were tighter it wouldn't do it. The giveaway here is that it happened after the pinion seal replacement 😎. There was a bulletin about loctiting the pinion on to the p38 diff on the later td5 defenders due to this kind of noise if i remember.

Sorry JC, the twang was there before the pinion seal was replaced (and I did loctite the flange nut when it went back together)

I can't do much about it until early March so thanks for all your replies and I'll let you know the verdict once it gets pulled apart.

Cheers

JC means loctite the splines with a bearing retainer, check TSB LD205-002 and my earlier post
