Well bugger me....can you guess??

[terranosaurusdoug]

I've been driven mad over the past few days by a horrible clunking and clanging i could hear from the front of Sarah whilst driving, steering felt fine, arb and links were ok so thought it may be engine mounts or ball joints :doh When driving down the road and swerving a little is when I could make it happen, I could swear I even felt it a little through my feet, happened by itself when cornering and going over bumps and pot holes slow or fast, and a lot of times when manoeuvring slowly, usually over uneaven ground.

I've sorted it now, very simple and easy, can anyone guess, it nearly caught me oot

Ooh no, I'm not quite that daft yet :lol although they were the very first things I checked. I re-learned a lesson from a long time ago about how sound travels through a vehicle.

The old classic - Coffee mug left under the bonnet??

He realised he'd unlocked a land rover with his nissan key and driven off in that instead.

Pebble in the fuel tank or wheel lock nut rolling around.

Sump guard, flappin in the breeze!:nenau

 

[emjaybee]

Of course!

Its not the vehicle is it?

Does it still happen if you park the vehicle, get out, walk 50 yards from it and jump up and down?

Its the marbles rolling around in yer noddle.

Happy to have helped.

No, I never thought to check that though. The answer is a bit boring compared now :doh
