annoying squeek!!

Hi guys I've developed a really annoying squeek when i accelerate from the drivers side of the engine bay.....
Is there any normal things to check out as i am new to land rover ownership and am looking for your help,

Thanks guys

Prefer to give em a slap meself ??

sorry guys bad times I've got a 90 300tdi on an n reg with a brand new cambelt and pulleys on it so I dont think its belts I've also put a new aux drive belt and tensioner on too. it when I drive along under acceleration at slow speeds I thought maybe a bracket or engine mount are loose or rubbing but just need some tips from the experts....

so was mine and then bang uj went and prop was banging around underneath

I could'nt figure the noise out, took it to my indie lr garage after 30 seconds he knew what it was. ended up replaceing 3 of the 4 .no substitute for experience

surely you should have done all 4?

whata bastid it would be if the 4th one went soon and you had to take the prop of again to do one uj.

the garage fitted them .i thought it a bit pointless not doing the last one. but they know best i hope.

i done me front prop on sunday..it cost me £12 for 2 ujs and about an hour of my time..its a straight forward job once youve been shown how to do it

i fancied doing it but didnt really have time. maybe get a chance to do No 4 soon.

Cheers guys, I knew I'd come to the right place!

I'll give them a look over tonight and price up some new ones.

Really appreciate the quick responses

Thanks
Gareth.

This is always worth looking at

i hate removing the prop shafts! really fiddly job with spanners. no fun. should buy the proper tool really!

i replace the uj's every 6 months or so or whenever i smash them.
