Hi,
I've recently purchased my first proper landrover a 1994 300tdi but i have a problem, well more than one but her is the first, as you get above 25 to 30 mph there is a drone/whine which increases with speed but does not change if you are in a different gear or back off it just changes with the speed, gets louder to near deafening point at motorway speeds. my assumption (ive been told never assume but) is that it is a bearing, but i cannot establish whether it is in the transfer box or the front diff. is their an easy diy way of finding where the fault is without taking it all apart and looking at each bearing.
i have checked for any play on the drive shaft output near the parking brake and into the diff but cannot feel any.
any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Tony
