We know there were frogs in some of the water hazards - may be there were mice in some of the drier traps?Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Me too mate, potholes or speed bumps bring it on. It is not evident on the flat. I considered WD40 but on looking around I couldn't see where it would possibly do any good. I may try the WD40 around the brakes Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:

A more apt description is perhaps that of a squeaking metal framed bed 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I got underneath the motor this evening, my lad was stood on the tailgate bouncing up and down. It appears that the noise is coming from the wishbone bushes (if thats the right terminology) I sprayed them with some wd40....but to no avail. Can bushes make such a racket??21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I wonder could there be some dirt in around the bushes - would this cause the noise?IE - 05 D3 TDV6 HSE - Zambezi Silver
