Mine started rattling again on Saturday, I took tact's advice, stopped and spun the little roller and hey presto! squeak gone (for a while anyway), so I'll tighten up the strike plates when I get a chance.
Now who's going to tell me how to get rid of the clutch pedal squeak..?
Also, what's the loud springy "BOING" noise from the drivers footwell when I hit the pothole at the end of my driveway every morining? Something to do with the brakes I assume?
Get a HD clutch.
Got a HD clutch. [bigwhistle]
There is a writeup somewhere if you do a search, the short version is remove the clutch pedal assembly strip and rebuild.Quote:

OR do what most Defender owners do.... tune out that particular noise coming from your Defender [tonguewink]
My clutch pedal on the Puma has just started squeaking... time for a lube me thinks.
I also fixed an annoying rattle coming from the drivers B pillar, just by loosening and re-tightening my roofrack clamps. The roof obviously needed just a little more flex [thumbsupbig]
It's the creaking and groaning of the body flexing when crossed-up over large gutters that freaks my mates out! Normal suppleness for a Defender I say. They can't believe it.
Remember, if it bends, it's less likely to break.
I remember when a kid on the farm our mailbox was on a wobbly post. A big flood came through and inundated everything, sweeping away trees, fences, a bridge etc. When the water went down, the wobbly mailbox was still there.
Flexibility is the key.
Yes, that bloody clutch pedal squeak.Quote:

It didnt fix the squeak initially, but after a few days, the squeak was gone and didnt come back (3 weeks now).
Amazing
