A particular problem with my Td5 is driving me halfway round the bend.

The driver’s door and passenger door rattle quite loudly on anything other than tarmac, though the intensity varies and the problem is intermittent.

The vehicle is a Defender 110 County Station wagon, 2005 model but new in December 2006. I’ve done about 25,000 km.

Land Rover have tried several times to cure the problem, but it keeps coming back. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE to permanently cure the problem?

Please advise. I will be forever grateful.

if its the same as the door rattle in big red it will be one of 2 things

1, the glass rattling in the regulator in which case some teflon tape in the slides will fix it and

2. the door lock linkages raddling in which case taking hte lot apart and piercing the rods through some foam rubber will fix it

Thanks, BlKnight.aus.

Today, I must be a bit thick, so please can you clarify:

the glass rattling in the regulator in which case some teflon tape in the slides will fix it

Which regulator? Which slides?
