Good morning mate. I'm glad the problem was nothing serious, although I do really understand how you first felt. I guess it's a common attitude with our LR's: oh, I can hear something, it must be sth bad, cost about 2000 quid, oh well, it's the FR2 though, not a Defender, yes, I fixed it, big smile on our face! |

Very interesting, that's the same problem as me and under the same conditions - that doesn't sound good for a car thats meant to be able to handle getting wet. |

I have to say the heatshield definitely looks like an after thought ... who's going to take it off and see what happens! |

I've posted a picture of my propshaft and the damaged heat shield - see my gallery 'avtur' . I'm still baffled as to how this occurred while driving forward ..... |

I think the cause of mine was the large puddle i hit when i drove through a sudden downpour, on a country road. I think the force of the water has been forced onto the shield and bent it. |

Great to hear that this problem is only a heatshield. I have had that noise now for over 2 months. I cant wait to go home tonight and check the heatshield. It has been so annoying listening to it.

LR did not charge me to correct the problem.
