    Crunching noise

    Hello took my 1.5 tonne boat out yesterday and on the way home while going around right hand corners there was a crunching sound coming from some where on Disco 96 tdi.

    my question is what could be making that noise ?
    How do I check to find it?

    Also took it for a spin with out the boat on the back and could not get it to do it.

    I used low range to get up the boat ramp could the transfer case not have been selected proplerly?
    I ask this as I took it in and out of low and high once home and then took it for a spin.

    any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Ralph.

    It's hard to diagnose something like this but I would start by looking at your CV joints in the front axle. The first thing I would check is whether there is any oil in the swivels. If yes have a look at it by dropping a little out of the bottom drain ( if it has oil), and see if there are silver bits in it.

    It could also be just that a rock has been caught in one of the guards of the front or rear discs.


    Regards Philip A
