Monkey noise!!!

[DefenderBLACK]

Sometimes when setting of in 1st gear - but also happens sometimes when accelerating after changing into 2nd and third gear - i get a strange monkey sound - ie uuuh uuuh (sorry cant replicate in text!) -

What is causing this? Its loud and can be heard easily outside as well as in the 90.

My defender 90 is a 2002 model Td5.

Thanks

Could be your gearbox mounts that are warn and when you set off etc. the input shaft moves about and causes the spigot bearing to make a wierd noise.

could it be belt squeeling?

Have you been to the zoo recently?

Sort of 'grunt grunt grunt' getting quicker as you pull away?  Was worn UJ on mine - I've got the bits, just can't get the nuts undone at the moment, so soaking in WD40.........  Cheers, A

i think its an engine or gearbox mount as well or maby exhaust mount has broken off. i had a smiler noise from the backend and it drove me bananas and all it was was a exhaust mount bracket. i only had the noise in very low revs.

Banannas is best for monkeys in your defender

I had somthing similar on the disco when releasing the clutch . I had a uuuuurrrrrr huh (hard in'it) noise...

Went away after putting in a new clutch kit turned out to be a worn thrust bearing de-celerating when the peddle was released the old one was loose and a little rusty/crudded up.
