Sloshing Noise was created by Sprocket
Hi All
This week I noticed a sloshing noise coming from somewhere down and behind me as I'm driving. I guess it could be fuel in the tank but I'm sure I've never noticed it before, the tank was quite low so that could contribute. I have been wondering if the noise was coming from inside the drivers door but I'm not sure, sounds further back. I only hear it when I brake hard so it's difficult to be certain.
We have had a lot of sideways rain recently so I guess it might be rain that has got in by the window and hasn't drained out of the bottom of the door.
Does anyone have any experience of similar noises or know of drain holes that become blocked. It has been off roaded recently so drain holes could have filled with mud.

sounds daft :blink:
but pull the drivers seat forward,
check out carpets in rear foot-well
I had this after transporting stuff in the rear when I hadn't realised it was wet.

Sometimes the chain in the transfer box has been described as a whooshing or sloshing noise.
